Connect Serial And IR Devices To A Network
The Global Caché Global Connect GC3 with Serial and an IR Port allows you to connect RS232 serial and IR devices to a network. This module provides an RS232 serial port and 3 emitter IR ports/sensor inputs. It connects to the Internet via Ethernet and includes a 3 slot, 4.5-inch freestanding chassis and power supply.
Modular network adapter enables universal control over multiple connection types
Configure Module Setting using the Global Connect Online Web Portal
Allows RS232 serial and IR devices to connect to a network
Bi-directional with hardware RTS/CTS flow control
Uses TCP port 4999 for communication
3 independent selectable 3.5 stereo jack IR outputs or sensor inputs
Built-in IR learning (range 20KHz to 200KHz)
Integrated web server for easy configuration
RS232 DB9 Connector
This bidirectional module connects RS232 devices to a network and serial devices and includes an easy to use, highly configurable web interface. To access the serial configuration settings, navigate to the Serial Settings page on the unit’s configuration pages. Each RS232 interface includes a male DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) DB9 connector.
3 Emitter IR Ports/Sensor Inputs (3 Emitters/1 Blaster included)
Infrared modules can control any device that utilizes an IR remote. In addition to IR control the IR ports can be configured for Sensor Input. This allows for the use of iTach sensor cables for sensing the presence of voltage, contact closure, or composite video.
IR Emitters:
IR emitters are short-range IR transmitters designed to physically transmit IR signals to a single device while avoiding cross-talk with neighboring devices. Visible IR emitters, such as the emitters included with this module have a range of around 1 inch (2.5 cm). Due to the short range of IR emitters it is important to place the IR emitters directly on top of the IR receiver of the controlled device.
IR Blasters:
IR Blasters are long-range IR transmitters designed to control devices across the room or to control multiple devices that are near each other. The IR blaster included with this module is designed to transmit up to 35 feet (10 meters).
Single Ethernet Network Module
Each Global Connect includes a network module. The network module provides the network connection and power input for the entire unit. Network modules can be powered with any power supply between 5v and 24V DC. All Global Connect units ship with an appropriately rated power supply.
