The controller requires a network connection, Ethernet (recommended) or WiFi, to use all of the features as designed. When connected, the controller can access web-based media databases, communicate with other IP devices in the home, and access Control4 system updates.2 Mount the controller in a rack or stacked on a shelf. Always allow plenty of ventilation. See “Mounting the controller in a rack” in this document. 3 Connect the controller to the network.• Ethernet—To connect using an Ethernet connection, plug the data cable from the home network connection into the controller’s RJ-45 port (labeled “ETHERNET IN”) and the network port on the wall or at the network switch. • WiFi—To connect using WiFi, first connect the controller to Ethernet, and then use Composer Pro System Manager to reconfigure the controller for WiFi. Important: Do not install your EA controller on a 172.18.xxx.xxx subnet.4 Connect system devices. Attach IR and serial devices as described in “Connecting the IR ports/serial ports” and “Setting up IR emitters.”5 Set up any external storage devices as described in “Setting up external storage devices” in this document.6 Power up the controller. Plug the power cord into the controller’s power plug port and then into an electrical outlet. Mounting the controller in a rackUsing the pre-installed rack-mount ears, the EA-5 can easily be mounted in a rack for convenient installation and flexible rack placement. The pre-installed rack-mount ears can even be reversed to mount the controller facing the rear of the rack, if needed.To attach the rubber feet to the controller:1 Remove the two screws in each of the rack ears on the bottom of the controller. Remove the rack ears from the controller.2 Remove the two additional screws from the controller case and place the rubber feet on the controller. .3 Secure the rubber feet to the controller with three screws in each rubber foot.Pluggable terminal block connectorsFor the contact and relay ports, the EA-5 makes use of pluggable terminal block connectors which are removable plastic parts that locks in individual wires (included).To connect a device to the pluggable terminal block:1 Insert one of the wires required for your device into the appropriate opening in the pluggable terminal block you reserved for that device.2 Use a small flat-blade screwdriver to tighten the screw and secure the wire in the terminal block.Example: To add a motion sensor (see Figure 3), connect its wires to the following contact openings:• Power input to +12V• Output signal to SIG• Ground connector to GNDNote: To connect dry contact closure devices, such as doorbells, connect the switch between +12 (power) and SIG (signal).

SERIAL 1 and SERIAL 2 can connect to a standard DB9 serial cable. IR ports 1 and 2 (serial 3 and 4) 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 many dierent baud rates (acceptable range: 1200 to 115200 baud for odd and even parity). Serial ports 3 and 4 (IR 1 and 2) 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’s serial settings, make the appropriate connections in your project using Composer Pro. Connecting the port to the driver will apply the serial settings contained in the driver file to the serial port. See the Composer Pro User Guide for details.Note: Serial ports 3 and 4 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 the option Enable Null-Modem Serial Port (3/4).Setting up IR emittersThe EA-5 controller provides 8 IR ports. Your system may contain third-party products that are controlled through IR commands. The included IR emitters can send commands from the controller to any IR-controlled device.1 Connect one of the included IR emitters into an IR OUT port on the controller.2 Remove the adhesive backing from the emitter (round) end of the IR emitter and ax it to the device to be controlled over the IR receiver on the device.Setting up external storage devicesYou can store and access media from an external storage device, for example, a USB drive or eSATA drive, by connecting the USB drive to the USB port and configuring or scanning the media in Composer Pro. A NAS drive can also be used as an external storage device; see the Composer Pro User Guide (ctrl4.co/cpro-ug) for more details.Note: We support only externally powered USB drives or solid-state USB drives (USB thumb drives). USB hard drives that do not have a separate power supply are not supported. Note: When using USB or eSATA storage devices on an EA-5 controller, a single primary partition formatted FAT32 is recommended. Composer Pro driver informationUse Auto Discovery and SDDP to add the driver to the Composer project. See the Composer Pro User Guide (ctrl4.co/cpro-ug) for details.TroubleshootingReset to factory settingsCaution! The factory restore process will remove the Composer project.
