Revision 1.0 Dated 20 June 2005

1.1 General Description

The ProCon IP Control Unit allows you to connect your RS232 controlled products to an IP infrastructure and
control them from a single point using the ProCon Site Manager® software.
There are five variants of the ProCon IP Control Unit available, all of which have the following features. See
table 1.1 for a comparison chart of the differences between the variants.
DHCP or manually configured IP address, subnet mask & default gateway.
•
Built in e-mail server so alerts are sent even when Site Manager® software is not running.
•
2 available e-mail addresses for multiple alerting.
•
Closed loop that can trigger an e-mail alert when the loop is broken, allows hardware to act as a
•
security measure for expensive audio visual equipment.
2 built in timers that can trigger alerts for measuring usage, i.e. e-mail gets sent when the filter on a
•
projector needs changing.
Projector lamp expiration alert (uses one of the timers), sends an e-mail to notify that a projector
•
lamp has passed a preset duration and needs changing (requires Site Manager® software to be
running)
Infra red port for controlling non-RS232 devices such as VCR's and DVD players.
•
Built in scheduling that operates from the onboard clock allowing events to occur without Site
•
Manager® software.
