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.
•  PoE Support — Per IEEE 802.3af standard.
•  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.
