The HomeWorks QSX processor 1 provides control and communication to HomeWorks system components. The Ethernet links allow communication to the HomeWorks designer software, integration with third-party systems and communication between multiple processors. HomeWorks QSX processors may be connected using either an Ethernet hub /switch or router, or by using Ethernet directly from a PC to the processor(s). Clear Connect – Type X Gateways cannot be wired directly to the Ethernet port on a HomeWorks QSX processor. See page 5 for details. All processors on a project must be connected to a single network. The HomeWorks designer software and all integration equipment must be connected to the same network as the processors. The HomeWorks QSX processor is required when using the Clear Connect – Type X Gateway for control of residential Ketra light sources.
