CUE ipCUE - Manual (Page 8)

4. Quick Start
4.1. Powering Up
Every ipCUE controller requires power from an external power supply. The standard CUEadapter /30W is
delivered with the unit. Attach the 2-pin connector of the power supply unit to the PWR IN connector located on
the rear panel of ipCUE controller and attach power cable to a power outlet. The LED labeled PWR will light up
when the unit is powered on.
4.2. PC Connection
Using LAN Directly to PC
Attach one end of an RJ-45 Ethernet crossed-over cable to the ipCUE controller CUEnet (LAN) port and
attach the other end of the RJ-45 Ethernet cable to your computer.
Ethernet Crossed-Over Cable
This cable can be used to cascade hubs, or for connecting two Ethernet stations back-to-back without a hub. It
works with 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, 100Base-T4 and 1000Base-T. Use a good enough cable, if you are
confused about categories of cables then use Category 5 (enhanced) and you'll be fine even at 1000Base-T.
