Quantum®

Ethernet Network Conﬁguration Hardware

369781d 1 06.13.16

Installation Overview

The network architecture that forms the Local Area

Network (LAN) for the Quantum

® processor and

server communications of the Quantum

® lighting

control system through the Quantum Vue

TM browser

can be adapted to an existing institutional network

infrastructure. While this can be of substantial

savings in time and material when adapted to an

institution's network infrastructure, the responsibility,

setup, and authority for that network falls directly

under that institution's IT administration.

When using an institution's network infrastructure,

the Quantum

® LAN must have unrestricted

communication within that institution's IT

parameters. This document lists the IT requirements

for the Quantum

® LAN and needs to be given to the

institution's IT administration far in advance of

system installation.

Timeliness of a project where a Quantum

® system is

residing on the institution's network is dependent on

that institution's IT planning and cooperation. The

earlier the institution IT administration is brought into

the project, the easier and more efﬁcient the

installation will be.

Ethernet Overview

The Quantum

® light management system requires

an IEEE 802.3 Ethernet link to enable

communications between Quantum

® processors as

well as between Quantum

® processors and the

Quantum

® server. When this Ethernet link is supplied

by a customer’s IT department, it must be designed

and conﬁgured to meet the institution’s IT

requirements and the Quantum

® LAN requirements.

Quantum® and Quantum VueTM Ethernet Network Conﬁguration

System Overview

Each facility will have its own characteristics. This

document outlines the guidelines and requirements

for the infrastructure to support the Lutron

Quantum

® system.

The Quantum

® Ethernet communications link follows

the IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standard using a minimum

cabling of Category 5 (CAT5) at the Quantum

processor, and IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standard

cabling between Quantum

® processors and the

Quantum

® server. This copper or ﬁber wiring must

follow the standard IEEE 802.3 Ethernet wiring rules

for distance and separation.

• CAT5 maximum distance requirement:

328 ft (100 m)

— If a cable run of longer than 328 ft (100 m) is

required, a switch or repeater will need to be

used to extend the length.

• There should not be more than 6 “hops” from the

processor to the server.

— A "hop" is deﬁned as the Ethernet link passing

through a device such as a router or switch.

Keep in mind that there is a “hop” from the

Quantum

® processor to the ﬁrst Ethernet switch.

It is possible to use an existing Ethernet

infrastructure installed in the building as the

Quantum

® processor communications link. When

this is done, the customer, network installer, and

network administrator must be aware of the

Quantum

® system requirements.

The Quantum® system uses UDP multicast between

Quantum

® processors. The customer-provided

network must be conﬁgured to allow multicast trafﬁc

between the Quantum

® processors on the network.

System Start-Up

When the network is supplied by others, the

network must be operational before the Lutron

® ﬁeld

service engineer arrives on site for system start-up.

The system start-up cannot be completed without

reliable connectivity between the Quantum

processors and the Quantum

® server.

The customer may be required to schedule an

additional ﬁeld service visit at an additional charge if

start-up cannot be completed. This may occur if the

network is not installed or if any networking

equipment required to ensure connectivity between

Quantum

® components is not operational and

properly conﬁgured.

Site and Network Access

Lutron

® ﬁeld service engineers and supporting

personnel must have access to network equipment

required to ensure communication between Lutron

components on the network.

If access to network equipment and / or use of

network analysis tools is not permitted, the

customer must ensure that qualiﬁed network

support personnel are on site and available to

support the Lutron

® ﬁeld service engineer during the

commissioning process. Lack of support may

require scheduling additional ﬁeld service visits at an

additional charge.

Network Documentation

The network conﬁguration settings of the Lutron

equipment connected to the network; such as, IP

addresses, subnet masks, and gateway addresses,

must be supplied to Lutron prior to the Lutron

® ﬁeld

service engineer’s arrival on site to commission the

system.

QuantumR and Quantum VueTM Ethernet Network Conﬁguration

Network Support Disclaimer

When the network is supplied by the customer’s IT

department, Lutron cannot be held responsible for

Quantum

® system downtime that results from

network downtime.

The network that is used to communicate between

Lutron

® Quantum® equipment is utilized as a control

and a data network. Control networks require more

predictable and consistent response times.

Increased trafﬁc from corporate intranet data can

greatly affect these response times.

Network reliability impacts the collection of data

from the Quantum

® system. This data is used to

generate reports and to assess the system health.

Network reliability also impacts control functions.

Lutron recommends that the customer employ

qualiﬁed network support personnel that will

maintain the reliability and health of the network

post-occupancy.

Network Equipment Requirements

All network equipment ports connected to the

Lutron

® Quantum® processor are conﬁgured to

10 / 100 MB / sec data speeds.

Network communications between the Quantum

processor and the Lutron

® server must not rely on

wireless technology. A wired IEEE 802.3 Ethernet

network is required for the Quantum

® system to

function. Quantum Vue

TM browser-based user

interface can be used with wireless technology, IEEE

802.11 in communications to the Quantum

® server.

Physical and administrative access to network

equipment should be limited to authorized personnel

only.

QuantumR and Quantum VueTM Ethernet Network Conﬁguration

IP Multicast Conﬁguration

Lutron

® uses IP any-source multicast for system

communication between Quantum

® processors.

Each sub-system of the Quantum® system must

have its own unique multicast address. These

multicast addresses are assigned to Lutron

® for use

with the Quantum

® system only. Multicast addresses

must be determined and conﬁgured prior to the

Lutron

® ﬁeld service engineer’s arrival on site to

commission the system. Class D addresses may be

assigned by end user or will be supplied by default

by ﬁeld service engineer

IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol)

In order to properly route multicast trafﬁc between

Layer 2 and Layer 3 devices, "IGMP snooping"

needs to be enabled on all switches in both

directions from the Quantum

® server to the

Quantum

® processor and from the Quantum®

processor to the Quantum

® server.

The Quantum® system multicast supports the IGMP

standard Versions 1, 2, and 3.

PIM (Protocol Independent Multicast)

If routing multicast trafﬁc between Layer 3 devices

over a LAN or WAN, Protocol Independent Multicast

will need to be enabled to properly route the

multicast trafﬁc. Both sparse mode and dense

mode are supported.

Quantum

® Processor Conﬁguration Software

During system commissioning the multicast address

of 224.0.37.42 must be conﬁgured. This multicast

address will be used by the Quantum

® processor

Conﬁguration Software to set up Lutron

® processors

in the system. All Lutron

® devices will respond to the

multicast address of 224.0.37.42, and Lutron

processors will join the multicast group 224.0.37.42

using IGMP.

Note: The multicast address of 224.0.37.42 is only

used during the initial startup and commissioning of

the system. It is also used for diagnostics if a

Lutron

® ﬁeld service engineer is on site. It is not a

constant requirement to have this multicast address

active.

Quantum® Server and Windows® SQL ServerR

Requirements

The Quantum

® server hosts a Quantum® speciﬁc

instance of Microsoft

® SQL Server®. The Quantum®

instance of Microsoft

® SQL Server® has two functions;

historical data collection for reporting and acts as the

host for server/client software. The Quantum

® instance

of the Microsoft

® SQL Server® does not affect the

normal functionality of the Quantum

® lighting system. If

communications to the Quantum

® processors from the

server were suspended, the lighting system and its

components would function as normal. However, any

historical energy data and management software

access would be lost during the downtime.
