The APC100MK2 is a configuration and control unit for use in combination with a wide
variation of controllable AUDAC and 3rd party devices, ranging from matrix systems and
mixers to paging consoles, wall panels and many more.
Featuring various kinds of communication ports including TCP/IP, RS232 & RS485, it
can create a connection between various connected devices in your installation. The
selectable baud-rate allows compatibility with a large number of compatible devices.
It makes the installers life easier and time saving. Complex system configurations and
updates can be made in a moment, as well as back-ups and duplicates. Specific files
such as voice-file messages and screensavers can be uploaded without requiring no
more than the APC100MK2 and a computer. An internal real-time clock allows syn-
chronizations for time controlled events in external devices. (When synchronized with
internet time server)
The AUDAC system manager software application allows the user to manage and
control APC100MK2’s functions together with full configuration functionalities for any
‘smart’ connected devices. (through TCP/IP, RS232 or RS485)
In addition it can also be used as a standard gateway receiving serial communication
and converting into TCP/IP format and reversed. This allows system integration for de-
vices such as audio sources & power amplifiers without integrated network capabili-
ties to be implemented into your automation system. Using the freely available AUDAC
Touch™ application and the APC100MK2, total system control for 3rd party devices is
made possible.
