Reset button (hole)
Resets Static IP address. Press and hold.
Green indicates the system has adequate power and is
operating normally.
2
Power Bi-color LED
Red indicates the system is in stand-by mode. In standby
most of the Controller circuitry is powered down.
Off indicates that the system is getting no power.
Green indicates the Host has established communications
with the embedded system.
Green flashing indicates the embedded system is ready
(running with DHCP IP address), but the Host has not
established communications with the embedded system.
Off indicates the embedded processor is resetting or is
powered up; and is booting the embedded firmware.
Red indicates the Host has determined the firmware needs to
be updated, but a problem occurred during the process that
will initiate a reset.
Red flashing indicates the embedded firmware is running, but
3
Status Bi-color LED
has not received a DHCP IP Address.
Amber indicates the Host is currently updating the embedded
firmware.
Amber flashing indicates the embedded system has a valid
link-local IP Address and is waiting to connect to the Host.
Hardware Failure
If the Controller has a hardware failure, the Status LED
indication will be interrupted every 3-seconds with a solid red
indication. For example, if the LED is flashing green when a
hardware failure occurs, the LED, in 3-second intervals, will
flash green, solid red, etc.
Green indicates RS-232 serial port data activity.

RS-232 LED
Off indicates no RS-232 serial port activity.
Green indicates GPIO port signal activity.

GPIO LED
Off indicates no GPIO port activity.
Insert pin into hole for about 5 seconds to place in standby
mode. The Power LED turns red. Insert the pin again for about
1 second to take system out of standby mode. The I/O power

switch on the back of Controller must be On (I) to enable this
function. To turn the power off for the entire system, use the
switch on the rear panel.

RJ-45 ports used to transmit and receive serial binary data
transmission. input
General Purpose Input and Output ports. Uses 6-pin screw-
down connector.
The digital GPIO ports are binary I/O ports used for contact
closure, trigger (output), or detect (input). The COM pin is
used for common ground. Pin 1 - 4 is used for input or output.
When configured as an input, the port detects a voltage
present (GPIO input). GPIO inputs can safely detect the
presence of a voltage 0-30V DC with a threshold of
approximately 2.4V DC.
When configured as an output, a GPIO port outputs a voltage
below 12V DC. The maximum current per port is 150
milliamps. The combined maximum current for all GPIO
outputs is 550 milliamps. An overcurrent condition shuts down
the output if that number is exceeded.
HDMI Host Audio Input port with locking HDMI connector.Used
for receiving up to 4 PCM streams (iTunes®) from the Host
(such as HST-4501).
