3 Overview
The Kramer FC-8 is a serial-to-wireless and wireless-to-serial LAN device
server that acts as a bridge for connecting serial devices to an 802.11b/g
wireless LAN.
The FC-8 supports TCP/UDP sockets, a Web server with Web site, and
WEP, WPA, WPA2 Wi-Fi encryption. The FC-8 is housed in a Kramer
TOOLS enclosure, and is powered by a 12V DC power supply.
Any legacy Kramer device that has an RS-232 connection can be wirelessly
controlled over the customer’s LAN or the Internet with an FC-8 using
serial commands or Kramer control software.
The
FC-8 is available in two models: a European model that supports 13
channels over the 2.412–2.472GHz spectrum and an American model that
supports 11 channels over the 2.412–2.462GHz spectrum.
To achieve the best performance:
Use only good quality connection cables 1 to avoid interference,
deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated
noise levels (often associated with low quality cables).
Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that
may adversely influence signal quality and position your Kramer
FC-8 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
