Universal General Purpose Input device server

GPI-U116N

SUMMARY

The GPI-U116N is a universal, versatile general-purpose-to-network interface. It is a fully functional stand-alone IP-to-I/O
remote access controller with internal web server. It functions as a remote expansion port for Inter-M’s integration systems.
The GPI-U116N is the ideal solution for providing LAN based control for devices needing I/O functionality.

OVERVIEW

The GPI-U116N is a universal, versatile general-purpose-to-network interface. It is a fully functional stand-alone IP-to-I/O
remote access controller with internal web server. Housed in a in a 1RU form factor it is designed for all types of commercial
AV installations. It functions as a remote expansion port for Inter-M’s Integration systems. Using standard TCP/ IP Ethernet
network, it is remotely controlled via the network and can be placed anywhere in a facility. The GPI-U116N is the ideal solution
for providing LAN based control for devices needing I/O functionality.

Signal Monitoring is available for all 16 inputs with a front panel mounded LEDs, indicating active input triggers. Power and
fault LED indicators confirm proper device operation.

General Purpose Contact Input

Brand Interoperability

Based on industry standards, TCP/IP network protocol the GPI-U116N can receive TCP/IP command

packets from any network devices connected to a LAN or WAN. Interoperability is a reality today.

The Inter-M GPI-U116N is compatible with hundreds of other Network-enabled products available

from the world’s leading manufacturers, enabling you to mix devices from multiple manufacturers.

Tunneling contact closures over IP

The GPI-U116N works as a reliable intermediate between host based data devices and control

applications, tunneling contact closures over IP. The device provides 16 dry contact input terminals

receiving trigger inputs from external devices via one network. The host interface supports industry-

standard TCP/IP protocols. The GPI-U116N is a portal for controlling or monitoring devices across your

facility or across the world

GENERAL PURPOSE

CONTACT INPUT

Network Connectivity

One 10/100 Ethernet port supports TCP/IP protocols. IT as well as automation systems can easily

connect to the device on a LAN or WAN network. TCP/IP, traffic can be routed over internal LANs,

wireless LANs, MANs, WANs and even over the Internet. Systems and devices in different locations,

floors building, and cities anywhere in the world are easily send a trigger or be monitored by GPI,

General Purpose Inputs over networks using the GPI-U116N.

Scalability

Receiving and monitoring contact closure control inputs from any systems is now possible with the

GPI-U116N. Any number of GPI-U116N can be added to a system expanding the number of contact

closure control inputs to the installations specific requirement.
