2 COMMISSIONING
Assembly
The device shown in these operating instructions is the CUBEVISIONMODULE X (item no. 10562). Modular device (REG) housing 4TE.
In order to assemble the device, please proceed as described below:
The operating voltage of the CUBEVISIONMODULE X is 12-32V DC.
Please observe the polarity as shown on the front of the housing.
Remove the pluggable screw terminals to facilitate the connection process.
Now connect the power supply cables and the KNX line (in case of the KNX/TP version) to the respective screw plug-in terminals.
Insert the screw plug-in terminals into the respective connections.
Snap the device onto the mounting rail according to DIN EN 60715 and connect the network cable.
Switch on the supply voltage and check the LED status (see chapter below).
LED Status
The CUBEVISIONMODULE X has two DUO LEDs ("Power/Boot" and "Status"). Each DUO LED has a green and a red LED. The top LED is the "Power/Boot" LED, the bottom LED is the "Status" LED.
POWER / BOOT LED
LED display | Status |
OFF | The device is not ready for operation. No operating voltage is supplied. |
GREEN | The device is ready for operation. |
FLASHING ORANGE | The device is booting. |
STATUS LED
LED display | Status |
OFF | The device is booting |
FLASHING GREEN | The device has been started; the LED simulates a "heartbeat". The flashing interval increases depending on the device utilization. |
FLASHING RED | KNX: device is communicating over KNX |
Explanation:
The green "Power/Boot" LED lights up as soon as the CUBEVISIONMODULE X is supplied with power. Two to three seconds after the power supply has been switched on, this LED also starts to flash red (flashing orange) until the booting process has been completed. Then the LED is permanently illuminated green, while the "Status" LED flashes green (simulates a "heartbeat"). The flashing frequency increases depending on the device utilization.
It takes approx. three (3) minutes to start the CUBEVISIONMODULE X.
Initial operation
If the CUBEVISIONMODULE X has been mounted and started as described in chapter "Assembly", commissioning can now be continued as specified below.

Because CUBEVISION uses latest HTML 5 technologies and is containing 3-D animations, there could be problems running it on older hardware and hardware with too little hardware performance. In case of doubt, please check out functionality with our demonstration-CUBEVISION on our website www.bab-tec.de in the “Live” menu.
Establishing connections
In order to configure the CUBEVISIONMODULE X and to retrieve the visualization, a current browser and a network connection to the device are required. If the device is in the condition on delivery, it can be accessed at the above-mentioned IP address and the network settings must be adjusted to the address range, where necessary. To do this, please follow the instructions provided in chapter "Adjusting the network settings of your computer".

Devices in the foreign network area
The BAB STARTER shows in the list of devices found whether they are in the same address range (subnet) or not. If the entry is grayed out and an X is displayed on the right-hand side of the line, the CUBEVISIONMODULE X is located in a different address range than your computer and cannot be reached with the current network configuration.

Device in a different IP address range
In this case, the current network setting of the CUBEVISIONMODULE X can be viewed with the BAB STARTER. To do this, select the entry in the list of devices found and then click on "Details".

Call up device (configuration) details
The "Detail" view shows the serial number, installed firmware version and current IP address (host). This allows you to determine the address range in which the device is located.

Display of the device details
To bring the device into the network area of your computer, please proceed as described in chapter "Adjusting the network settings of your computer".
Devices in the same network area
If the entry is not grayed out and a check mark is displayed on the right-hand side, the CUBEVISIONMODULE X is located in the same network area (subnet). Direct access is possible.

Device in the same IP address range
To do this, click on the entry to open the next menu. In addition to the device details, you have access to CUBEVISION, SYSTEM and REMOTE ACCESS. Further description from chapter "CONFIGURATION"
The CUBEVISIONMODULE X starts with the respective applications in the WEB browser via the menu items displayed. If you know the IP address, you can call up the start page of the CUBEVISIONMODULE X directly in the browser.

Call up CUBEVISIONMODULE X configuration
DHCP: | If DHCP is active, the device automatically obtains the network settings. A DHCP server must be available in the local network. |
IP address | Field for the static assignment of IP addresses. Please make also sure that the subnet mask (often 255.255.255.0) and the gateway entry are correct. (Often the IP address of the WLAN router). Without a correct gateway entry, the device will not be able to communicate with the Internet. |
DNS server: | DNS is the abbreviation for Domain Name System. The DNS server converts Internet addresses, for example "www.bab-tec.de" into the IP address "85.214.89.170" and vice versa. Without a valid DNS entry, NTP, weather services from the Internet and Smart Home Apps do not work. |
NTP server: | NTP is a free service for synchronizing the system time of Internet-compatible devices. If it is not possible to establish the connection to an NTP, the system time must always be checked and adjusted manually |
The configuration menu opens. The following settings can be made in the "Network" menu item:

CUBEVISIONMODULE X Network settings
Change the IP address settings as required. To save the settings made, click "Save Configuration". The server in the device is restarted, the browser automatically connects to the new IP address if possible.
Please note that you may have to reset the IP address of your computer to the original value in order to be able to reach the CUBEVISIONMODULE X again after the change.
Special feature when activating DHCP
If you have activated DHCP for the CX according to the steps mentioned above, please use the DiscoveryTool as described in chapter "BAB STARTER" to find out the current IP address configuration of the device.
Port Settings
We strongly advise against using port forwarding for external access. For external access, please use the integrated HOOC solution or VPN Plug&Play (Chapter Plug & Play VPN).
Should be necessary port forwarding in special cases, the following should be observed.
If the connection between CUBEVISIONMODULE X and client is monitored by a firewall or cross-network access is to be enabled, the following port settings must be taken into account:
Visualization: TCP Port 80 (http)
Configuration: TCP Port 80 (http) and TCP Port 36
If you want to make your CUBEVISIONMODULE available for external access, please protect the access with secure passwords. In this respect, follow the currently applicable password rules.
