by function: GROUP 1: Distribution Amplifiers; GROUP 2: Switchers and Routers;

GROUP 3: Control Systems; GROUP 4: Format/Standards Converters; GROUP 5:

Range Extenders and Repeaters; GROUP 6: Specialty AV Products; GROUP 7:

Scan Converters and Scalers; GROUP 8: Cables and Connectors; GROUP 9:

Room Connectivity; GROUP 10: Accessories and Rack Adapters; GROUP 11:

Sierra Video Products; GROUP 12: Digital Signage; GROUP 13: Audio; and

GROUP 14: Collaboration.

Congratulations on purchasing your Kramer FC-21ETH, FC-22ETH or

FC-24ETH Ethernet Controller, which is ideal for the following typical applications:

 Use with Ethernet/RS-232 interfaces and/or Ethernet/RS-485 interfaces

Getting Started

2 Getting Started

We recommend that you:

 Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging

materials for possible future shipment

 Review the contents of this user manual

 Use Kramer high performance high resolution cables

Go to http://www.kramerelectronics.com/support/product_downloads.asp

to check for up-to-date user manuals, application programs, and to check if

firmware upgrades are available (where appropriate).

2.1 Achieving the Best Performance

To achieve the best performance:

 Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-

performance, high-resolution cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in

signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often

associated with low quality cables)Do not secure the cables in tight bundles

or roll the slack into tight coils

 Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely

influence signal quality

 Position your Kramer FC-21ETH, FC-22ETH and FC-24ETH away from

moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be

connected to other equipment that is installed inside a building.

2.2 Safety Instructions

Caution:

There are no operator serviceable parts inside the unit

Warning:

Use only the Kramer Electronics input power wall

adapter that is provided with the unit.

Warning:

Disconnect the power and unplug the unit from the wall

before installing

2.3 Recycling Kramer Products

The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive 2002/96/EC

aims to reduce the amount of WEEE sent for disposal to landfill or incineration by

requiring it to be collected and recycled. To comply with the WEEE Directive,

Kramer Electronics has made arrangements with the European Advanced

Recycling Network (EARN) and will cover any costs of treatment, recycling and

recovery of waste Kramer Electronics branded equipment on arrival at the EARN

facility. For details of Kramer’s recycling arrangements in your particular country

go to our recycling pages at http://www.kramerelectronics.com/support/recycling/.

Overview

3 Overview

The FC-21ETH, FC-22ETH and FC-24ETH are a family of high-performance,

easy-to-use, bidirectional hardware and software interface systems for controlling

RS-232 and/or RS-485 controllable machines via an Ethernet LAN, as well as via

the Internet.

These Ethernet to serial controllers bridge the gap between Ethernet

infrastructures and serial communication devices by offering bidirectional Ethernet

to serial conversion. All setup and maintenance of the devices is done from built-in

Web pages which are accessible using any common Web browser. All devices

offer one RS-232/RS-485 dual-use serial port.

In particular, the FC-21ETH, FC-22ETH and FC-24ETH:

 Offer network connectivity that lets you connect a Kramer (or other) device

via its RS-232 or RS-485 port to an Ethernet LAN

 Let you control up to three RS-232 devices and one RS-485 device (model

dependent) via Ethernet from a PC

 Let you control a device from multiple Ethernet points (PCs or remote

controllers), via a LAN or the Internet

 Include Windows® based Virtual Port software for setting up virtual ports on

a PC

 Support Internet-based, remote firmware upgrades

 Can be rack mounted in a 1U rack space with the optional rack adapters

More specifically, the FC-21ETH, FC-22ETH and FC-24ETH feature:

 One RS-232/RS-485 port (FC-21ETH), one RS-232 and one RS-232/RS-

485 port (FC-22ETH), three RS-232 and one RS-232/RS-485 ports

(FC-24ETH)

 An Ethernet LAN connection

 Static or dynamic (DHCP) IP addressing

 A USB port for upgrading the firmware

Overview

 A 5V DC power supply

 A compact Kramer TOOLS™ enclosure (FC-21ETH, FC-22ETH) or

MegaTOOLS™ enclosure (FC-24ETH) which can be mounted side by side

in a 19-inch rack using suitable rack adapters

The FC-21ETH, FC-22ETH and FC-24ETH include the Virtual Serial Port Manager

(Kramer VSPM) for compatibility with applications based on COM-port

communication. The virtual serial port:

 Makes the FC-21ETH, FC-22ETH and FC-24ETH compatible with all

Windows®-based applications which require a physical COM port. This

includes all versions of K-Router and other Kramer control applications. It

lets you operate all RS-232 and RS-485 controllable devices via an Ethernet

LAN using their existing PC software

 Operates like a physical COM port, that is, a logical COM port that behaves

like a standard hardware COM port. In reality, it transparently reroutes the

data using the TCP/IP network to the FC-21ETH, FC-22ETH or FC-24ETH

interface via a virtual connection which you can emulate over the Ethernet or

Internet

 Can be created in any quantity on your PC and does not occupy a physical

serial port
