## Description

Global Caché IP2SL-P iTach TCP/IP to RS232 Serial Converter with PoEThe Global Caché IP2SL-P iTach converts your RS232 serial devices into remote-controlled using the internet. The IP2SL-P acts as a wire conduit and connects serial peripheral units (e.g., computers, speakers, TVs) to a network via wired Power Over Ethernet (PoE). The converter features a male DB9 connector that's compatible with most serial peripheral devices.The IP2SL-P iTach is based on an open system. Its publicized API permits you to seamlessly integrate serial devices into almost any 3rd-party, network-based system. You can use PC based control software, iPhone/iPod/iPad control apps, and high-end control systems such as Comfortclick, iRidium, and Touch Squid with the IP2SL-P.TECHNICAL SPECS:Setup: Integrated web server for easy configuration | Configure through TCP/IP set up commandsNetwork Connection: RJ45 | 100/10 Mbits Ethernet protocol | Adheres to TCP, DHCP, HTTP standardsSerial/RS232 Interface: Male DB9 connector | 1200 baud to 115.2 Kbaud data rates | Bi-directional with hardware RTS/CTS flow controlCompatible Software/Apps (but not limited to): a/v DashBoard, AVGui, Cinemar, Demopad, DTVGameControl, HC-Skipper, Indigo Domotics, iSimplex, MBH Remote, Melloware, MobiLinc Remote, MyURemote, Simple Control, tin:b Software, TouchControl, Worried Cat MotePower Requirements: 5~16V DC at 300mACasing: Aluminum extrusion case, rubber end caps, plastic faceplatesCertifications: FCC (Part 15, Class B), C-tick, CE, RoHS compliantDimensions (LxDxH): 3.3 x 2.3 x 1.3"Weight: 3.25 oz

Review: Best product on the market for bridging TCP with RS232 - I do not believe the average home consumer purchases this type of device, so I'm writing this for the semi educated consumer that understands what they are buying or trying to achieve. This device acts as a "bridge" between two commonly used protocols: TCP and RS232 (Serial). Global Cache is one of the leaders in these types of devices, used by many home automation companies to integrate home automation controllers with receivers, TVs, and just about every type of device that supports RS232. Here are the two things you need to know about these devices: 1. Centralized home automation is not just for the uber-rich or the professional installer anymore. A Do it Yourself (DIY) community of people are out there that have built many great tools for building your own home automation solution. With the communization of devices like an iPad, you can use software to design your own remote control. These types of devices are critical to controlling devices in your house. 2. RS232 is substantially better at delivering commands to a device than infrared. Infrared (what your remote control uses) can fail at a number of points, such as the device not receiving the command due to interference. If you have no other choice, certainly use infrared (I do as well), but RS232 or a direct TCP command is preferred. Additionally, infrared does not give device feedback (such as acknowledgement that the device received the command, or the ability to ask a device a question - What is the currently volume level?) where RS232 and TCP do. So, if you want to communicate with a device via a home network, RS232 or TCP are preferred. These devices work great with a home automation package called Indigo by Perceptive Automation, and can be integrated using a plugin called Global Cache. Certainly these devices can be used with just about any home automation system, but these are two of the best for the DIY market. Feel free to reach to me if you have questions.
