Page 3: Overview
The ICC2-IRC delivers intelligent, interactive distributed media management. Communicating bi-directionally over the same RF coax that carries the CATV channels, the ICC2-IRC dramatically simplifies system installation. The ICC2-IRC features an internal TV tuner for absolute channel access management and a character generator that outputs on-screen text for channel names, control functions, and interactive menus. -

Page 10: Rs-232 Control Protocol
RS-232 Control Protocol Overview RS-232 control for up to 4000 ICC2-IRC and ICW-IRC TV Controllers is provided through an iC-series Head-End Network Controller. The ICC-HE Head-End manages iC-Net communication over RF Coax to ICC2-IRC TV Controllers as well as ICW-IRC TV Controllers over twisted-pair Cat3/5 wiring. The ICW-HE Head-End operates on the twisted-pair network only. -
