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

FEATURES

Dual-Function I/O Ports-Remote IP−Based control of devices connected to the control gateway

dual−function I/O ports, with selectable port configuration to bidirectional RS−232 or IR control

Multiple IP Connected Clients-Remotely connected over customer Ethernet network, concurrently

controlling any devices connected to control gateway I/O ports

Easy & Reliable Installation-Plug and Play IP installation with dynamic (DHCP) address resolution

and auto device discovery over customer LAN. Resilient powering with USB and optional PSU (not included). Compact, designed for piggy−back installation, such as behind a TV or display, with the ability to draw power from a device USB port

Remote Management-Built−in web UI for remote browser−based management and support, by

multiple IP−clients over customer LAN. Easy firmware upgrades, either remotely via customer LAN, or locally via device USB port

Pico TOOLS™-Mount 4 units side−by−side in a 1U rack space with the recommended rack adapter
