K-FC-1ETH RS-232/Ethernet Interface

 
 

The K-FC-1ETH is a bi-directional, hardware and software interface system to control all Kramer RS-232 controllable machines via Ethernet LAN, and if your LAN has a direct connection to the internet, then you may control the machine from anywhere in the world. The system is comprised of an intelligent “dongle” type, bi-directional RS-232/Ethernet CAT5 converter and Kramer control software. The system easily integrates into an existing LAN system, allowing fast and safe IP address definitions, using, among others, a standard TCP/IP protocol. The system also allows using “dummy” CAT5 cables without a real LAN system, and does not require a PC adjacent to the controlled device.
Using a typical LAN structure, the FC-1ETH allows multi-node operation, having several PCs controlling several machines independently. Dial up and Internet system control is easily achievable by the system for remote monitoring and control, requiring only a dedicated IP address and a modem in the remote location, whether it is a stand alone PC or a LAN system. The Kramer FC-1ETH interface also allows the use of wireless, 802.11b standard based LAN systems for control and monitoring.
