The IP-232 extends Ethernet control to CR’s 232-series TV tuners, video projectors, displays, and other RS-

232 controlled equipment. The IP-232 is PoE compliant, accepting power through the LAN in either A or B

modes. The unit is fully programmable, and includes switch settings to aid in installation.
