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.
- 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.
