The FC-28 is a PoE-powered bidirectional converter for RS-232, IR control, GPI/O, and relay control signals to Ethernet. Through an Ethernet or LAN connection, it can control two RS-232 devices, four IR devices, two GPI/O devices, and two relay-controlled devices.

• 2x bidirectional RS-232 control ports: Control a device using bidirectional serial control protocols.
• 4x IR emitter control ports: Control a device using IR control protocols.
• 2x GPI/O control ports: Control a device through programmable interfaces that function as digital inputs, digital outputs, or analog inputs to manage sensors, door locks, volume, or lighting.
• 2x relay control: Control a device via switching contacts, such as raising and lowering video walls, curtains, and blinds.
• Simultaneous IP control communication with up to 40 clients: Supports up to 40 IP control clients.
• IR sensor port: For learning commands from IR remote controls.
• Mini-USB port: For firmware updates and local technical service.
• Easy installation: An Ethernet connection for communication and PoE power supply, along with plug-and-play IP auto-configuration for simple and cost-effective installation.
• 1x Ethernet control port: For protocol-based remote control.
• Built-in web pages: For remote browser-based control and support.
• PoE support: According to the IEEE 802.3af standard.
