System Architecture
Enterprise Vue is a web page, hosted in IIS, that connects to Lutron Quantum, Vive, and Limelight systems so that the user can centrally manage all systems from one user interface. The server that hosts the Enterprise Vue software will securely connect to all servers running Quantum Vue and Vive Vue systems. Enterprise Vue will also automatically sign in to Limelight systems which are hosted on a public web site on the Internet.
General Requirements
- A campus overview map is required from the customer to create the navigation images for Enterprise Vue. Accepted image formats are PDF, JPG, JPEG, and PNG.
- For system requirements and limits refer to the Enterprise Vue Specification Submittal: http://www.lutron.com/TechnicalDocumentLibrary/3691076.pdf
Server Requirements
Operating System and Server requirements can be found in the following document: http://www.lutron.com/TechnicalDocumentLibrary/QS-A-CMP-SBO-0.pdf
DNS Host Names
Each system’s webpage (Enterprise, Quantum, and Vive) requires a FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) for the system web page. Depending on the configuration, there can be multiple systems and servers. On the local DNS server, each of the FQDNs should have an associated forward lookup pointing to the respective server. If no DNS server exists locally, these FQDNs may be entered into the local Windows “Hosts” file on both the server and any workstation needing to access Enterprise, Quantum and Vive Vue. Each server associated to Enterprise Vue must be able to resolve the FQDN of each and every Instance of Enterprise, Quantum, and Vive Vue. This includes multiple servers in the same location and multiple servers across multiple locations. In IIS, the FQDN will be entered into the Host name field on the site binding for each IIS site. This Virtual Hosting allows multiple instances of Vue to be run from the same IP/Port.
- If IT networking is not yet available during commissioning of the system, default FQDNs will be assigned to each instance, and these names will be added to the Windows Hosts file so that Enterprise, Quantum and Vive Vue can be accessed. These may be changed later once the IT networking is setup.
- Enterprise Vue: evue.lutron.com
- Quantum Vue: qxx.lutron.com (xx is the instance number from 1 through 99)
- Vive Vue: vxx.lutron.com (xx is the instance number from 1 through 99)
- FQDN examples:
- Enterprise Vue on Server #1 – enterprise.lutron.com
- System 1: Quantum Vue on Server #1 – library.lutron.com
- System 2: Quantum Vue on Server #1 – gymnasium.lutron.com
- System 3: Quantum Vue on Server #1 – stadium.lutron.com
- System 4: Vive Vue on Server #1 – northofficebuilding.lutron.com
- System 5: Vive Vue on Server #2 – southofficebuilding.lutron.com
- System 6: Quantum Vue on Server #2 – cafeteria.lutron.com
SSL Certificates
By default, installations of Enterprise Vue will use server self-signed SSL Certificates. Users will see a browser security warning when accessing Enterprise Vue. It is recommended that certificates trusted by devices be loaded into the IIS site for each instance of Enterprise, Quantum, and Vive Vue. These certificates should contain the FQDN for the respective instance to which they’re assigned.

Installed Lutron Software
The Lutron installer will create the following entry in Programs and Features.
- Enterprise Vue x.x.xx – Publisher: Lutron Electronics Co., Inc.
Bundled and Installed 3rd Party Software
The Lutron software utilizes the following third party software modules, which are installed by the Quantum Prerequisites Installer on the machine running Enterprise Vue. These modules are required for the software to install and function correctly.
- Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 – Publisher: Microsoft Corporation
- Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable – Publisher: Microsoft Corporation
- Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.1 Full – Publisher: Microsoft Corporation
- Microsoft Windows PowerShell for Windows Server 2008 – Publisher: Microsoft Corporation
- Erlang OTP 19 – Publisher: None Listed
- RabbitMQ Server – Publisher: Pivotal Software, Inc.
- OpenSSL 1.1.0f Light – Publisher: OpenSSL Win32 Installer Team
MicrosoftR WindowsR Services and Executables
The Composite Lutron Service Manager is a Windows service that runs Enterprise Vue server, provides status on services running in the background, and also starts the services every time the machine is restarted. The Composite Lutron Service Manager UI application is used to interact with the Composite Lutron Service Manager. It can be opened using the small blue “gears” icon in the system tray or the Windows Services App. The Enterprise Vue will show up as “CompositeServiceManager x.x.x” where x.x.x represents the version number of Enterprise Vue that is installed on the machine. If the system was upgraded there may be multiple versions listed, only the latest version service should be running on the system. The “BuildingService” executable is a service that may be seen in the task manager. This service is directly managed by the Composite Lutron Service Manager. Enterprise Vue uses the following executables:
Lutron Software
- Lutron.Gulliver.QuantumGateway.BuildingService.exe
- Lutron.Gulliver.CompositeServiceManagerUI.exe
- Lutron.Gulliver.CompositeServiceManager.exe (CompositeServiceManager x.x.xx Service) Erlang OTP/RabbitMQ
- Epmd.exe
- Erl.exe
- Erlsrv.exe (RabbitMQ Service)
- Inet_gethost.exe
- Win32sysinfo.exe
User Accounts and Authentication
Enterprise Vue has two methods for user authentication – local authentication by the server or Microsoft Active Directory (LDAP) authentication. If the server is joined to an LDAP domain, both local and LDAP user accounts may be created to allow access to Enterprise Vue. No special configuration needs to be done to use LDAP user accounts. Once Enterprise Vue is linked to Quantum and Vive Vue, user account management for those systems can be done through Enterprise Vue. User level permissions are provided to allow multiple levels of access for those using the system. The available permissions are: Monitor, Control Only, Control & Edit, and Admin. In addition to these permission levels, users may be assigned access to specific Quantum or Vive buildings down to the area. Refer to the respective system’s User Manual for a system specific description of the access provided at each permission level.
When Enterprise Vue is added to existing installations of Quantum and Vive Vue, all existing user accounts are automatically synced to Enterprise Vue. This syncing occurs after adding a building to Enterprise Vue when the Enterprise Composite Service Manager is restarted. Existing Admin users of Quantum and Vive Vue are automatically assigned the Admin role in Enterprise Vue. Existing users which are not Admin are assigned the same privileges from the existing installation of Quantum and Vive Vue. If the same user name exists on multiple systems, Enterprise uses the role from the first Quantum system to which it connects.
Email Functionality
Enterprise Vue can utilize a SMTP server to send emails to users. This functionality is used to send an email to users for the password reset feature available on the login screen when using local Enterprise Vue user accounts. Additionally, this functionality is used to send email notification of system alerts to users. The fields below must be filled in to allow the system to send emails:
- Server Name (IP or FQDN)
- Port
- Sender Email
- Sender Name
- Optional Settings:
- Mail Server Requires SSL Encryption
- Mail Server Requires Authentication
- Username
- Password
After configuration of SMTP server in Enterprise Vue, settings can be verified by using the provided email test function to send a test email to an entered address.
SQL Server Requirements
- Enterprise Vue may share use of an existing SQL Server Express instance already running with Quantum 3.4. This Instance is typically called “LUTRON2017 or LUTRON2019.”
- Enterprise Vue and other Lutron Applications require the “sa” user and “sysadmin” permission levels on the SQL Server. Enterprise Vue software needs the following permissions: backup, restore, create new, delete and modify under normal use. The username and password can be changed but the privileges are required.
- Upon installation of Quantum and Enterprise Vue, the SQL Server “sa” account password is randomized for security.
- Only SQL authentication is supported.
SQL Databases
Enterprise Vue utilizes several databases to store user configuration data as well as logging data. Typically, each database is capped at 10 GB when using SQL Server 2017 Express edition. If this database is deployed to a licensed edition of SQL Server supplied by the customer, the 10 GB limit does not apply and the policy for data retention can be specified using Enterprise Vue configuration options. The following databases are used by Enterprise Vue:
- CompositeElmahx.x.x (Initial Size 72 MB, Transaction Log 8 MB, Autogrowth by 64 MB)
- Provides error logging
- CompositeVuex.x.x (Initial Size 8 MB, Transaction Log 8 MB, Autogrowth by 64 MB)
- Storage for system configuration
- EnterpriseCompositeDataStore (Initial size 8 MB, Transaction Log 2 GB, Autogrowth by 16 MB)
- Storage for logs and alerts
