2. The unit will power on automatically once a valid PoE connection is established. Verify the power indicator LED on the unit illuminates.

5.3 Rezo Koneksyon

The Ethernet port also provides network connectivity for control and configuration.

• Ensure the Ethernet cable from the PoE source is connected to your network.
• The FC-28 will obtain an IP address via DHCP by default. Refer to the Kramer control software or network tools for device discovery and static IP configuration if required.

5.4 Connecting Control Devices

Connect your target devices to the appropriate ports on the FC-28.

• Serial (RS-232) Ports: Connect RS-232 controlled devices (e.g., projectors, displays) using standard serial cables.
• Pò IR: Connect Kramer IR emitters or blasters to control IR-enabled devices (e.g., Blu-ray players, media players).
• GPI/O Ports: Connect sensors, buttons, or other General Purpose Input/Output devices.
• Relay Ports: Connect devices that require simple contact closure control (e.g., projector screens, blinds).

6. Operasyon Enstriksyon

The Kramer FC-28 is primarily controlled and configured via a network connection using Kramer's control software or API commands.
