Kramer FC-28 | 10 Port Serial IR GPI/O Relay PoE Control Gateway

Kramer FC-28 10 Port Serial IR GPI/O Relay PoE Control Gateway

The FC-28 is a PoE-powered control gateway, capable of plug and play deployment over customer Ethernet LAN for remote control of customer controlled devices via bidirectional RS-232, IR, GPI/O and relay control connections. Multiple control clients can be IP-connected to the FC-28 control gateway for concurrent control of two RS-232,four IR controllable devices, such as AV scalers, video displays, audio amplifiers, DVD players, sensors, screens, shades, door locks, and lighting.

Key Features

• 2 RS-232 Bi-directional Control Ports - Control a device via bi-directional serial control protocols.
• 4 IR Emitter Control Ports - Control a device via IR control protocols.
• 2 GPI/O Control Ports - Controls a device via general purpose I/O ports, program-configured as digital input, digital output or analog input interface for controlling sensors, door-locks, audio volume and light dim level, or lighting control devices.
• 2 Relay Control Ports - Control a device via relay contact closure, such as scrolling up and down screens, drapes, shades, and blinds.
• Simultaneous IP Control Communication - With up to 40 IP control clients.
• IR Sensor Port - Learns commands from IR remotes.
• Mini USB Port - For firmware upgrades and local technical services.
• 1 Ethernet Control Port - Remote protocol-based control port.
• Built-in Web Pages - Remote browser-based control and support.
• Easy Installation - Single Ethernet cable wires for communication and PoE powering, and plug & play IP auto-setup deployment for simple and cost-reducing installation.
• Size - Compact MegaTOOLS - 2 units can be rack mounted side-by-side in a 1U rack space with the optional RK-T2B rack adapter.
