Product Description
The Kramer FC-22ETH is an outstanding Ethernet control gateway. It enables plug-and-play deployment on your Ethernet LAN, allowing you to remotely control your devices through bidirectional RS-232 or RS-485 serial connections. Multiple control clients can connect via IP to concurrently control two RS-232 or RS-485 controllable devices like AV scalers, video displays, and audio amplifiers.
Key Features:
- Selectable 1 RS-485 or RS-232 bidirectional control port for flexible device control.
- 1 RS-232 bidirectional control port for reliable serial communication.
- 1 Ethernet control port for remote protocol-based control.
- Built-in web pages for easy browser-based control and support.
- Simultaneous IP control communication with up to 40 IP control clients.
- Mini USB port for firmware upgrades and local technical services.
- Easy installation with plug & play IP auto-setup, reducing costs.

Using the Kramer FC-22ETH is quite straightforward. First, connect the device to your Ethernet LAN using the RJ - 45 connector. You can then use the serial ports (RS - 232 or RS - 485) to connect the devices you want to control, like AV scalers or audio amplifiers. Multiple control clients can be IP - connected to it for concurrent control.
When it comes to power, just plug in the included power adapter, and make sure it's getting 5V DC, 200mA.
For installation, it's plug - and - play, so you don't have to worry about complex setups. The IP auto - setup feature will handle the basic configuration for you.
Here are some things to keep in mind. The operating temperature should be between 0 to +40C (32 to 104F), and the storage temperature is - 40 to +70C (- 40 to 158F). Also, the humidity should be in the range of 10% to 90% non - condensing.
For maintenance, if you need to upgrade the firmware, use the mini USB port. And regularly check the status LEDs to ensure everything is working properly. If you're having trouble with the network settings, you can use the DHCP and Factory Default buttons to reset and reconfigure as needed.
