Overview
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.
  • 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
