Ethernet Serial Controllers

Single- 2- and 4-port Ethernet controllers of serially-controllable devices

Kramer's Ethernet Serial Controllers are bidirectional RS-232 or RS-485 to Ethernet control signal converters. They allow one, two or four RS-232 (or one RS-485) controllable devices to be controlled via an Ethernet or LAN connection.

Kramer's Ethernet Serial Controllers give installers the ability to implement simultaneous control over up to four AV devices spread throughout an installation by offering bidirectional Ethernet to serial conversion. Kramer's Ethernet Serial Controllers operate as a network server, which means they accept network connections, but do not initiate them.

All setup and maintenance of Kramer's Ethernet Serial Controllers are managed by built-in web pages, which are accessible through any common web browser.

Kramer's Ethernet Serial Controllers support network connectivity, which allows users to connect a Kramer (or other) device via its RS-232 or RS-485 port to an Ethernet LAN. Kramer's Ethernet Serial Controllers are able to control ups to three RS-232 device and one RS-232/RS-485 device via Ethernet from a PC and can control a device from multiple Ethernet points (up to 40 PCs or remote controllers), via a LAN or the Internet. In addition, Kramer's Ethernet Serial Controllers include Windows® based Virtual Port software for setting up virtual ports on a PC.

Kramer's Ethernet Serial Controllers also feature easy setup and configuration of the device through their built-in web pages (compatible with most common web browsers), remote firmware upgrades, and 1U rack space with the optional rack adapters.
