7.2 Controlling a Kramer Machine via a Controller
To control a Kramer machine via two VS-3000 controllers, as the Master
Mode example in Figure 5 illustrates, do the following:
1. Configure each FC-1ETHN to the Master Routing Mode (see section 6).
2. Set all the DIPs to OFF on each FC-1ETHN.
3. Connect the RS-232 port of your Kramer machine to the RS-232 port of a
FC-1ETHN via a Null modem (alternatively, connect the RS-485 port of
your Kramer machine to the ABG port
1
of the FC-1ETHN) and connect
the ETHERNET port of that FC-1ETHN to a LAN.
4. Connect the ETHERNET port of another FC-1ETHN to the same LAN
and connect the RS-232 port of the controller to the RS-232 port of that
FC-1ETHN (alternatively, connect the RS-485 port of the controller to the
ABG port
1
of the FC-1ETHN).
5. Connect the ETHERNET port of another FC-1ETHN to the same LAN
and connect the RS-232 port of the controller to the RS-232 port of that
FC-1ETHN via a Null modem (alternatively, connect the RS-485 port of
the controller to the ABG port
1
of the FC-1ETHN).
6. On each FC-1ETHN, connect the 12V DC power adapter to the power
socket and connect the adapter to the mains electricity.
8 Flash Memory Upgrade
The FC-1ETHN firmware is located in FLASH memory, which lets you
upgrade to the latest Kramer firmware version in minutes! The process
involves:
• Downloading from the Internet (see section 8.1)
• Connecting the PC to the RS-232 port (see section 8.2)
• Upgrading Firmware (see section 8.3)
8.1 Downloading from the Internet
You can download the up-to-date file from the Internet. To do so:
1. Go to our Web site at http://www.kramerelectronics.com and download
