Sunfire receivers and preamp processors include an RS-232 or Ethernet connection which is used to
connect to the OneHome system and provide full two-way communications, enabling reliable control as
well as providing feedback to the OneHome system when changes (such as the current source or volume
levels) occur at the receiver.
SUNFIRE DEVICES SUPPORT THE FOLLOWING FEATURES:
Basic Source and Volume Control: Select any available source and control volume with two-way
feedback. Changes made at the receiver (turning the volume control, changing source) are immediately
reflected in the OneHome interface.
Multiple zones: Supported devices often have a second (or third, …) zone, which can be controlled as its
own zone from the OneHome interface.
Onboard Tuner: Supported devices often include a built-in AM/FM tuner, which can play music in the
main or auxiliary zone. The tuner can be controlled from the standard AM/FM tuner interface in the
OneHome system.
RS-232 or Ethernet Control: Sunfire receivers and preamp processors have both a RS-232 port and an
Ethernet port on their back panel which are compatible with HomeLogic for control.

VERVIEW
1. During the rough-in phase install the necessary speaker and video cabling for the theater installation.
2. Also during the rough-in phase, run a Cat5 wire from the location of the receiver back to the Network
Assembly of the OneHome system to provide the communication connection needed to control the
receiver.
3. Install the speakers, display and other theater components.
4. Program the receiver according to the manufacturer’s documentation.
5. Test the receiver to ensure that the sources play correctly and that the audio and video operate as
expected.
6. Connect the OneHome system to the receiver electrically. See the connection diagram and bill of
materials for more information. Refer to the RS-232 Connection Options Integration Note for other
serial connection options.
7. If using the Ethernet port for control, configure the receiver Ethernet settings. See Ethernet
Configuration below.
8. Configure the OneHome system for the device and confirm communication between the receiver and
the HomeBrick.
9. Test the system by changing sources and volume to confirm the correct source plays.

ONFIGURATION
:
The Sunfire devices come out of the box configured for RS-232 communication. In order to control these
devices over a network connection they will need to have a static IP address assigned and the Ethernet
port will need to be enabled for control.
1. Using an internet browser enter the current IP of the device to access its web based network
configuration. If asked for a username or password for the device click okay, the factory default is
to not have any.
2. Click on the network link at the top left of the page and set the IP info. The HomeLogic standard
for these devices is to have the first device set to 192.168.0.60, the second to 0.61 and so on.
Confirm that the IP address you set is not already in use and is outside of the network DHCP
address range. See sample configuration screenshot below.

3. Use the Sunfire remote and the receiver front panel display to enable the Ethernet port for control
as follows:
a. From the remote select the TGR-3/TGP-5 from the LCD screen to access the device
controls. The remote should say TGR3 or TGR5 at the top of the LCD window.
b. Press the Menu hard button on the remote. The display on the device will say Main
Menu.
c. Press the down arrow to scroll to Settings then press the right arrow to access the
settings menu. The display should say Main Zone.
d. Press the down arrow to scroll to Control then press the right arrow to access the control
menu. The display should now read RS232 ENA.
e. Press the down arrow to scroll to DGCTL SER. Press the right arrow to set the display to
read DGCTL LAN.
f. Press the down arrow once to confirm LANMD RUN is shown. If LANMD SET is shown
press the right arrow to change to LANMD RUN.
g. Press the Exit button on the remote to exit the menu.
