P/N: 2900 – 1040202 A1
ADDENDUM: FC-1ETHN
This addendum describes an upgrade to the FC-1ETHN: the Virtual Serial Port.
Amendment to Section 3
The following text on page 2 is deleted:
Is compatible with the latest Kramer K-Router Windows®-based control
software (version 4.0 or higher) whose user-friendly interface now allows
Kramer switchers to be controlled via Ethernet
The following text is inserted immediately prior to section 3.1:
The FC-1ETHN now includes the Virtual Serial Port Driver for compatibility
with applications based on COM-port communication. The Virtual Serial Port:
Makes the FC-1ETHN compatible with all Windows®-based
applications which work through an actual 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 Ethernet LAN using their existing PC
software
Operates like an actual hardware port, that is, a logical COM that behaves
like a standard hardware COM but in reality transparently reroutes the data using
the TCP/IP network to the FC-1ETHN interface via a Virtual Null-modem
connection, which you can emulate over the Ethernet or Internet
Can be created in any quantity on your PC and does not occupy an actual
serial port
Amendment to Section 5
In Table 3: “FC-1ETHN Configuration Manager Window Functionality” (on page 6),
item 6 is replaced as follows:
