■ LMC100A

■ Product description

RF to LAN and LAN to RF converter – LMC100A receives RF signal transmitted from
touch panel and converts it to TCP/IP signal and then, transmits TCP/IP signal to another
LMC100A via network. LMC100A which received TCP/IP signal controls RF controller
connected with device by converting it again to RF signal.

By controlling device via network, it is capable of controlling more easily multi-zones at

various locations.

■ System Configuration with WC1000 Touch Panel

■ WC1000 Network Configuration

① It is the way to form the network when using WC1000 Touch Panel(Or PC Integrated

Control Program). Input IP address of LMC100A which is received the order in the
corresponding button of WC1000 in order to send the specific button's instruction to
LMC100A in the WC1000. (Refer to the WC1000 User Manual how to input)

② The instruction sent to WC1000 is delivered to LMC100A thru Wi-Fi network.

The instruction in LMC100A changes LAN to RF signal and send it to the RF controller
like IRE200A or RLE400A.

③ We call the LMC100A a 'Server' which can be used LAN to RF. You need to register the

unique local IP in each LMC100A when used a server. (Refer to the page 7 for registering)

④ To use LMC100A, the location where it is to be installed needs to consist of one network.

In other words, total system needs to be interconnected using one IP Router.

⑤ As there are four LAN ports in one basic IP Router, one Router can control 4 multi-zones.

To control more than 4 multi-zones, LAN ports need to be increased using switch herb.

⑥ As many LMC100A can be installed as number of IP. As IP Router basically supports

about 200 IPs, LMC 100A can control about same number of IPs with networks.

Arrangement Sequence

of Direct LAN cable

① LAN cable is manufactured to the length of a location

where it is installed using RJ-45 jack and 4 pairs of
UTP cable.

② LAN cable uses direct cable.

① It is the way to send the RF signal of touch panel like UX3500 or ITRC8500DX as far as

possible.

② We call the LMC100A a 'Client' which can change RF signal to LAN. 'Client' and 'Server'

communicate one to one. When inputting the local IP of 'Server' in the 'Client', the
instruction can be sent to 'Server'. (Refer to the page 8 of "How to set IP")

③ You need to set up RF touch panel, LMC100A for 'Client' and RF controller the same

channel. The channel setup switch for LMC100A is located at the bottom of it.

Note 1. No need to set up the channel for LMC100A for using a 'Server'.

2. Refer to the corresponding manual for setting up of touch panel and RF controller.

④ To use LMC100A, the location where it is to be installed needs to consist of one network.

In other words, total system needs to be interconnected using one IP Router.

■ LMC100A - IP

IP of LMC100A means an internet address of LMC100A. As instructions are delivered to
given IP address via network, each LMC100A needs to have an unique IP. We call this
unique IP for 'Local IP'. Also you need to input Gateway and Subnet address accurately
like Local IP. Please note that this is a concept different from RF CH setting at bottom
part of the product.
