5. Sąranka
5.1 Fizinis įrengimas
The FC-28 is designed for flexible placement. Ensure the chosen location allows for adequate ventilation and easy access to ports.
- Padėkite įrenginį ant lygaus, stabilaus paviršiaus.
- If rack-mounting or surface-mounting, use the appropriate Kramer mounting accessories (sold separately or included with specific kits) and follow their installation instructions.
5.2 Maitinimo jungtis (PoE)
The FC-28 is powered via Power over Ethernet (PoE).
- Connect an Ethernet cable from a PoE-enabled network switch or injector to the Ethernet port on the FC-28.
- The unit will power on automatically once a valid PoE connection is established. Verify the power indicator LED on the unit illuminates.
5.3 Tinklo jungtis
The Ethernet port also provides network connectivity for control and configuration.
- Ensure the Ethernet cable from the PoE source is connected to your network.
- The FC-28 will obtain an IP address via DHCP by default. Refer to the Kramer control software or network tools for device discovery and static IP configuration if required.
5.4 Connecting Control Devices
Connect your target devices to the appropriate ports on the FC-28.
- Serial (RS-232) Ports: Connect RS-232 controlled devices (e.g., projectors, displays) using standard serial cables.
- IR prievadai: Connect Kramer IR emitters or blasters to control IR-enabled devices (e.g., Blu-ray players, media players).
- GPI/O Ports: Connect sensors, buttons, or other General Purpose Input/Output devices.
- Relay Ports: Connect devices that require simple contact closure control (e.g., projector screens, blinds).
6. Naudojimo instrukcijos
The Kramer FC-28 is primarily controlled and configured via a network connection using Kramer's control software or API commands.
6.1 Pradinė konfigūracija
Upon initial power-up and network connection, the FC-28 is ready for configuration.
- Use Kramer's network discovery tools or a web browser (if a web interface is available) to locate the FC-28 on your network.
- Access the device's configuration interface to assign static IP addresses, configure port settings (baud rates for serial, IR codes, GPI/O functions, relay states), and integrate with your control system.
6.2 Control Integration
Once configured, the FC-28 acts as a bridge between your control system and the connected devices.
- Integrate the FC-28 into your preferred control platform (e.g., Kramer Control, third-party control systems) using its API or drivers.
- Send commands through the network to the FC-28, which then translates and transmits them via the appropriate Serial, IR, GPI/O, or Relay port to control the end devices.
7. Priežiūra
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your FC-28.
- Valymas: Įrenginio išorę valykite minkšta, sausa šluoste. Nenaudokite skystų ar aerozolinių valiklių.
- Firmware atnaujinimai: Reguliariai tikrinkite „Kramer“ website for firmware updates. Follow the provided instructions carefully for any updates to ensure compatibility and access to new features.
- Vėdinimas: Įsitikinkite, kad ventiliacijos angos nėra užblokuotos, kad išvengtumėte perkaitimo.
