Integration of Legacy Autoscript Controllers with WP-IP
Legacy Autoscript controllers can be integrated within a WP-IP system. This enables users to keep
using existing controllers while upgrading to WP-IP from WinPlus. By using a serial to Ethernet
convertor, older devices can become part of an IP workflow.
Supported legacy Autoscript controllers are:
•
HC-1
: 5 button Desk top Hand Control
•
MFC
: Magno Foot Control
Used in isolation or incorporated into package MFC-PKG, which also includes MFC-D
•
WSC-REC
: Wireless Scroll Control Receiver Only (ROW)
Incorporated into package WSC which also includes WSC-RAT, and package WFC-PKG-ROW
which also includes WFC
•
WSC-REC-A
: Wireless Scroll Control Receiver Only (U.S.)
Incorporated into package WSC-A which also includes WSC-RAT-A, and package WFC-PKG-US
which also includes WFC-A
These controllers can be connected to the WP-IP application using a serial to ethernet convertor and
bespoke serial cable. This is supplied by Autoscript as a package part (SRL-IP).
Power: All legacy controllers require external power. The serial cable supplied in the package SRL-IP
passes power through the serial to Ethernet convertor to the controller. The package SRL-IP includes
an external PSU.
The SRL-IP convertor
always
requires its own PSU (included). It cannot be powered by PoE.
