Description
Many professional AV and automation devices still rely on RS232 serial communication for control. The Global Caché iTach IP2SL-P bridges the gap between traditional serial equipment and modern IP networks.
Using a standard Ethernet connection, the IP2SL-P converts TCP/IP commands into RS232 communication, allowing compatible devices to be monitored and controlled remotely through a network, automation platform, or control system.
Common applications include controlling projectors, displays, audio processors, matrix switchers, amplifiers, lighting systems, and other serial-enabled equipment from platforms such as Control4, RTI, Crestron, AMX, Home Assistant, and custom control solutions.
With Power over Ethernet (PoE) support, both power and network connectivity can be delivered through a single Ethernet cable, simplifying installation and reducing cabling requirements.
Whether you’re upgrading an existing AV installation or integrating legacy RS232 equipment into a modern networked environment, the Global Caché iTach IP2SL-P provides a reliable and cost-effective control solution.
