Kramer FC-6 2 Port Multi Function Serial IR Control Gateway

FC-6 is an RS-232/IR multi-function control gateway, capable of plug and play deployment over a customer Ethernet LAN for remote bidirectional RS-232 and IR emitter control of customer devices. Multiple control clients can be IP-connected to the FC-6 control gateway for concurrent control of two RS-232 or four IR controllable devices, such as AV scalers, video displays, audio amplifiers, and DVD players.

Key Features

• Compact, Piggyback Installation - Such as behind a TV or display with the ability to draw power over USB from the device.
• Two DualFunction Ports - Selectable up to 2 bidirectional RS-232 or four IR outputs.
• Up to 40 IP Connected Clients - Over customer Ethernet network, remotely controlling devices connected to control gateway RS-232 and IR ports.
• Remote IPBased Control - Up to two RS-232controlled devices, up to four IRcontrolled devices connected to the control gateway.
• Easy PlugandPlay IP Installation - With dynamic (DHCP) address resolution and auto device discovery over customer LAN.
• Power Options - USB, optional PSU.
• Remote Device Management - Via Web browser, by multiple IPclients (PCs or remote controllers) over customer LAN.
• BrowserBased IR Learning Tool - For IR sensor detected signals.
• Windowsbased Virtual Port Software - For setting up virtual ports on a PC.
• USB Port - For powering the device or upgrading firmware locally.
