The EA-1 delivers a beautiful, intuitive, and responsive on-screen user interface with the ability to create and enhance the entertainment experience for any TV in the house. The EA-1 can orchestrate a wide range of entertainment devices including Blu-ray players, satellite or cable boxes, game consoles, TVs, and virtually any product with infrared (IR) or serial (RS-232) control. It also features IP control for Apple TV, Roku, televisions, AVRs, or other network-connected devices, as well as secure wireless ZigBee control for lights, thermostats, smart locks, and more. For entertainment, the EA-1 also includes a built-in music server that allows you to listen to your own music library, stream from a variety of leading music services, or from your AirPlay-enabled devices using Control4 ShairBridge technology.Box contentsThe following items are included in the EA-1 controller box:• EA-1 controller• AC power cord (all versions except C4-EA1-POE-V2)• IR emitters (4)• External antennas (2) (C4-EA1-POE-V2, 1 external antenna)• EA-1 Wall-Mount Bracket (C4-WMEA1), in PoE version onlyAccessories available for purchase• EA-1 Wall-Mount Bracket (C4-WMEA1) • Rack Mount Kit (C4-EA1RMK1-BL or C4-EA1RMK2-BL)• Control4 3.5 mm to DB9 Serial Cable (C4-CBL3.5-DB9B)Requirements and specificationsNote: We recommend using Ethernet instead of WiFi for the best network connectivity. Note: The Ethernet or WiFi network should be installed before starting the EA-1 controller installation. Note: The EA-1 V2 and EA-1 V2 PoE require OS 2.10.2 or higher.

An Ethernet connection to the local network is required for setup. The controller requires a network connection to use all of the features as designed. After initial configuration, Ethernet (recommended) or WiFi (no WiFi on the EA-1 PoE) can be used to connect the controller to web-based media databases, communicate with other IP devices in the home, and access Control4 system updates.2 Mount the controller near the local devices you need to control. The controller can be hidden behind a TV, mounted on a wall, placed in a rack, or stacked on a shelf. The EA-1 Wall-Mount Bracket is sold separately and designed for easy installation of the EA-1 controller behind a TV or on the wall. See the EA-1/EA-3 Wall-Mount Bracket Installation Guide (ctrl4.co/ea-wmb) for more details.3 Attach antennas to the WIFI and ZIGBEE antenna connectors.4 Connect the controller to the network.• Ethernet—To connect using an Ethernet connection, connect the network cable into the controller’s RJ-45 port (labeled “Ethernet” or “Ethernet/PoE+ In”) and into the network port on the wall or at the network switch. On the EA-1 V2 PoE, connect the controller to a PoE+-enabled network switch or to a PoE+ power injector. An additional Ethernet-connected device can be connected to the Ethernet Out RJ-45 port.• WiFi—To connect using WiFi, first connect the unit to Ethernet, and then use Composer Pro System Manager to reconfigure the unit for WiFi. The EA-1 V2 PoE does not support WiFi.Important: Do not install your EA controller on a 172.18.xxx.xxx subnet.5 Connect system devices. Attach IR and serial devices as described in “Connecting the IR ports/serial ports” and “Setting up IR emitters.”6 Set up any external storage devices as described in “Setting up external storage devices” in this document.7 Connect the power cord to the controller’s power port and then into an electrical outlet, or for the EA-1 PoE, power on the PoE-enabled network switch or PoE injector.Connecting the IR ports/serial ports (optional)The controller provides four IR ports, and ports 1 and 2 can be reconfigured independently for serial communication. If not used for serial, they can be used for IR. Connect a serial device to the controller using the Control4 3.5 mm-to-DB9 Serial Cable (C4-CBL3.5-DB9B, sold separately). 1 The serial ports support baud rates between 1200 to 115200 baud for odd and even parity. The serial ports do not support hardware flow control.2 See Knowledgebase article #268 (dealer.control4.com/dealer/knowledgebase/article/268) for pinout diagrams.3 To configure a port for serial or IR, make the appropriate connections in your project using Composer Pro. See the Composer Pro User Guide for details.Note: The serial ports can be configured as straight-through or null with Composer Pro. Serial ports by default are configured straight-through and can be changed in Composer by selecting Enable Null-Modem Serial Port (1 or 2).Setting up IR emittersYour system may contain third-party products that are controlled through IR commands. 1 Connect one of the included IR emitters to an IR OUT port on the controller.2 Place the stick-on emitter end onto the IR receiver on the Blu-ray player, TV, or other target device to drive IR signals from the controller to the targets.Setting up external storage devices (optional)You can store and access media from an external storage device, for example, a network hard drive or USB memory device, by connecting the USB drive to the USB port and configuring or scanning the media in Composer Pro.Note: We support only externally powered USB drives or solid state USB sticks. Self-powered USB drives are not supported. Note: When using USB storage devices on an EA-1 controller, you can use only one partition with a 2 TB maximum size. This limitation also applies to the USB storage on other controllers.Composer Pro driver informationUse Auto Discovery and SDDP to add the driver to the Composer project. See the Composer Pro User Guide for details.Front viewA Data LED—The Data LED shows solid red when the controller is streaming audio.B IR window—IR blaster and IR receiver for learning IR codes.C Caution LED—This LED shows solid red, then blinks blue during the boot process.
