Introduction
Thank you for choosing the IoCore2. The IoCore2 is expansion module for
the CueCore and QuadCore range of solid-state lighting controllers. The Io-
Core2 can add extra GPI, GPO, RS-232 and DMX ports to a CueCore based
installation. The IoCore2 is the successor of the original IoCore1.
Furthermore, the IoCore is perfectly capable of working stand-alone when
there is no CueCore attached. It can be programmed to convert and trigger any
of its protocols autonomously. Given the open nature of the IoCore’s protocol
suite (UDP, OSC, Art-Net) this unit can easily be integrated with third-party
systems.
An internal web-server provides the web-interface through which you can
program the IoCore. A modern browser is required to access this web-interface
during set-up. A browser or computer is not required for standalone use after
the initial set-up.

This manual discusses setting up and programming the unit. Chapter 2
provides background information on the communication protocols used the Io-
Core2. Chapters 4 and 5 cover how to set up the unit and configure the network
connection.
Programming the triggering and converting functionality is done in the 6
chapter as discussed on page 28.
At the time of writing this manual the IoCore2’s firmware was at version
1.01.
