Kramer Electronics FC-132ETH 32-Port Serial Control Gateway & Matrix

The FC-132ETH is an advanced Ethernet Control gateway and serial communication matrix, capable of plug and play deployment over a customer Ethernet LAN. Serving as an advanced serial communication matrix, the FC-132ETH has 32 RS-232 and one RS-232/RS-485 Output ports. Serial communication data is switchable to one or more of the eight RS-232 Input ports. This can be done according to local Control of panel buttons or RS-232 Control port, or remote Control via Ethernet port Control protocol or web-page browsing. Depending on matrix routing, one-to-one bidirectional or one-to-many unidirectional serial switched communication is supported. Serving as a Control gateway, FC-132ETH is capable of remote bidirectional Control of customer-Controlled devices serially connected to its 32 RS-232 and one RS-232/RS-485 Input ports. Multiple Control clients can be IP-connected to the FC-132ETH Control gateway for concurrent Control of two RS-232 or RS-485 Controllable devices, such as AV scalers, video displays, and audio amplifiers.
