CYP CR-IPS4 IP to Serial Controller with 4 I/O Ports

CYP CR-IPS4 4-Port IP to Serial Control Unit – RS-232/422/485 with PoE

The CYP CR-IPS4 is a compact and versatile IP to Serial control unit designed to control up to four RS-232/422/485 devices simultaneously over an Ethernet network.

With four independent serial output ports, the CR-IPS4 provides flexible control for a wide range of professional AV equipment. Three ports support RS-232, while the fourth port supports RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485, allowing the unit to integrate with different types of serial-controlled devices such as displays, projectors and other AV equipment.

Commands are sent to connected devices through the Phoenix output ports using suitable 3-pin or 5-pin adapter cables. The CR-IPS4 can be controlled through its Web GUI, Telnet or RS-232/422/485 console, providing flexible options for system integrators.

The unit supports the IEEE 802.1x RTS/CTS protocol and can be powered either by a 12V/1.25A external power supply or via PoE 802.3af. When connected to a compatible PoE network switch, no separate local power supply is required, helping simplify installation.

Built-in status LEDs provide clear power and Ethernet connection indication, while firmware can be updated in the field via USB or using the onboard hotkey.
