Automate Common Devices Over A Network
This unit is the same as the GC-100-18 with a built-in rack mount.
Most home electronic devices – such as TVs, stereos, and security alarms – can't communicate over networks. Global Caché's cost effective and easy-to-use GC-100 network adapters are designed to solve this problem by creating a network to control the most commonly used devices, each easily managed and accessed via built-in software.
The GC-100 Network Adapter connects common electronic devices using a series of sensors that can work, interrupt, or be polled by another network device. This mix-and-match design includes infrared (IR), serial and relay communications (including sensor inputs) that provide control of diverse systems such as entertainment, security, lighting, and irrigation.
Control Options
- Serial Controlled Devices: TV, AV, HVAC, Security
- Relay Controlled Devices: Switch Controlled On/Off, Contact Closure, Lights, Curtain, Pool, Irrigation
- IR Controlled Devices: 30KHz – 500KHz, Audio, Video, DVD
- Sensor Input: Video Signal, Sensor, Power Presence, AC/DC, Contact Closure
- Connects IR, Sony Control-S, RS232 serial, sensors, and relay contact closures to a network
- 10 Base-T network port
- Very small footprint
- Only one power supply required for each enclosure
- Embedded web server for easy configuration using a browser
Benefits
- Cost effective pricing saves you money
