====== Solo ======
The CommandFusion Solo is an IP-enabled all-in-one control system.\\
On-board ports include RS232 (with flow control), IR (which also operate as 1-way RS232 transmission ports), IR Blaster on 3 sides, dry contact inputs and Ethernet.\\
The Solo features an on-board real time clock, allowing it to perform [[software:system-commander:scheduling|advanced scheduling]] functionality.

There are two card slots that can be used to expand the Solo with additional functionality, such as DALI, IO, RS485, CFLink and more.\\
See the List of Cards for more details.

===== Quick Reference Guide =====
The Solo Quick Reference Guide provides the basic information required to get started on a printable, black and white document that can be easily taken with you to a job site. [[http://www.commandfusion.com/hardware/solo#downloads|Find the Solo Quick Reference Guide here.]]

===== CFLink Protocol =====
Although the Solo does not have an on-board CFLink port, it still shares the same protocol for communication and control.\\
See the [[hardware:cflink:solo-cflink-protocol|Solo CFLink Protocol page]] for more details.

===== Information Panel =====
The information panel can be found on the front of the Solo.

==== LEDs ====
The following LED's are shown on the front of the unit (from right to left):
  * Power (blue power icon)
    * Off = Power off
    * Flashing = Booting or firmware missing
    * Solid = Power on and ready
  * IP (amber network icon)
    * Flashing = Attempting to obtain an IP Address.
    * Solid = IP Address has been obtained or statically assigned.
  * IR Learner Ready (green tick icon)
    * Solid = IR Learner waiting for IR signal to learn
    * Off = IR Learner disabled
  * IR Learner Activity (amber crosshair target icon)
    * Flashing = IR signal detected
    * Off = No IR signal detected
  * RS232 Activity (blue, numbered 1 and 2)
    * Flashing = RS232 data being sent or received via the associated on-board RS232 port.
    * Off = No RS232 data being sent/received.
  * Dry Contact Inputs (blue, numbered 1, 2, 3 and 4)
    * Solid = Associated on-board dry contact port is closed.
    * Off = Associated dry contact port is open.

==== Pinhole Buttons ====
  * Setup
    * Used in combination with reset button to do a factory default reset.
  * Reset
    * Press to reset the unit. See the [[hardware:Device Resetting|Device Resetting page]] for more information.

===== Ports =====

==== Ethernet ====
The RJ45 port is used for Ethernet communications.\\
Ethernet cable not supplied.

<WRAP center round info 90%>
By default, the Solo is configured to communicate over both ''**UDP broadcasting** and **TCP** on port **10207**''.
</WRAP>

==== RS232 ====
The 6-pin connector is used to communicate with RS232 devices.\\
These 6 pins can be used for either:
  * 1 x RS232 with flow control (RTS & CTS).
  * or 2 x RS232 without flow control.


=== Pinout ===
In 2 x RS232 mode:
  - Tx (Port 1)
  - GND (Port 1)
  - Rx (Port 1)
  - Tx (Port 2)
  - GND (Port 2)
  - Rx (Port 2)

In 1 x RS232 with flow control mode:
  - Tx
  - GND
  - Rx
  - RTS
  - GND
  - CTS

==== Dry Contacts ====
The 8-pin connector is for dry contact inputs. These can be used as button switch inputs, sensor inputs, etc.\\
Anything that closes a contact can be used as an input to trigger macros via the on-board rules engine.

=== Pinout (left to right, top to bottom) ===
  - P01
  - COM
  - P02
  - COM
  - P03
  - COM
  - P04
  - COM

==== IR (and 1 way RS232) ====
The 12-pin connector is for wired IR emitter outputs and 1 way RS232 (transmit only).\\
These can be used to send IR signals to control AV equipments, fans, airconditioning, etc.\\
They can also be configured to transmit RS232 messages to control external RS232 devices.

=== Pinout (left to right, top to bottom) ===
  - P01 +
  - P01 G
  - P02 +
  - P02 G
  - P03 +
  - P03 G
  - P04 +
  - P04 G
  - P05 +
  - P05 G
  - P06 +
  - P06 G

==== Power ====
The Solo can be powered by the 2-pin connector, or via the mini USB connector.\\
Powering via this power connector requires 9-30VDC.

=== Pinout ===
  - 9-30V DC +
  - 9-30V DC -

==== Mini USB ====
The Solo can be powered by the 2-pin connector, or via the mini USB connector.\\
The mini USB port can both power the unit, and provide serial communications with a PC for configuration without a network connection.\\
This is a standard USB port, and the standard USB power and communication pinouts apply.

==== USB Host ====
The USB Host port is for communication with USB devices. This is for future expansion.

==== MicroSD ====
The MicroSD slot is used to expand the on-board memory via MicroSD cards.

==== Expansion Slots ====
The Solo features two expansion card slots, labelled:
  - Comms Card
  - Expansion Card

Most expansion cards will work in either slot. But some will only work in the Comms Card slot. Please check the documentation of the specific card for more details.

===== Accessories =====
The Solo comes packaged with the following accessories:
  - 24VDC power supply with correct wall plug for your region.

===== Factory Reset =====
For information on how to rest your device to factory settings, see the [[hardware:device-resetting|Device Resetting Page]].

===== Solo Configuration =====
The Solo features a built in web page configuration. Simply enter the IP Address of the Solo into any web browsers to begin configuration.\\
