The FC-6P is a serial/IR multi-function control gateway with Power over Ethernet, capable of plug and play deployment over a customer Ethernet LAN for remote bidirectional RS-232 or RS-485 and IR emitter control of customer devices. Multiple control clients can be IP-connected to the FC-6P 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.
