    Overview

    The GC-100 family connects almost any piece of electronic equipment to a network so it can be accessed, controlled, and maintained from anywhere over a local network or the Internet. The adapters use a transparent architecture engineered to integrate with control, automation, and monitoring environments — compact, economical, and suited to homes, schools, businesses, and houses of worship.

    Key Features

    • Network virtually any device in minutes
    • Connects infrared (IR) devices to a TCP/IP network, including IR input
    • Connects RS232, Sony Control-S devices, and sensors to a TCP/IP network
    • Connects contact closure (relay) devices to a TCP/IP network
    • Works well with wireless networks
    • Low-profile, stylish enclosure; silent, fan-free, environmentally friendly, RoHS compliant
    • Peripheral equipment includes IR learning and IR input over a TCP/IP network
    • Available in 3 sizes, including a 19" rack-mount version
