The CYP CR-IPS4 is a compact IP to serial control unit designed to control up to four RS-232/422/485 devices simultaneously over a network. Three of the four Phoenix output ports support RS-232, while one port additionally supports RS-422 or RS-485, providing flexibility across a range of serial devices. Commands are sent to connected devices via 3-pin or 5-pin adapter cables. Control is available via Web GUI, Telnet, or console (RS-232 input), and the unit supports IEEE 802.1x RTS/CTS protocol. Power is supplied either via a 12V/1.25A external adapter or Power over Ethernet (PoE), removing the need for a local power supply where a PoE network switch is available. Status LEDs indicate power and Ethernet connection state, and firmware can be updated in the field via USB or using the onboard hotkey.
Ideal For
Suited to AV installations requiring network-based serial control of multiple devices — such as displays, projectors, or other RS-232/422/485-controlled equipment — where a single compact unit needs to manage up to four serial connections simultaneously.
