Port Tunneling
The port tunneling feature lets you send and receive simple RS-232 signals
between a controller and a serial device via the
VP-773A
which is connected to the
Ethernet and outputs via TP cable.
The example, illustrated in
Figure 92
, shows a Kramer room controller that is
connected to the
VP-773A
via the Ethernet. The HDBT OUT connector on the
VP-773A
is connected via TP to an HDBT receiver. This HDBT receiver connects to a
display via HDMI and RS-232.
Figure 92: Port Tunneling
The room controller sends RS-232 signals over the Ethernet via a dedicated
Tunneling port to the
VP-773A
. The
VP-773A
sends these signals via TP to a display
that is connected to the receiver. This way, control data can flow between the room
controller and the display device, tunneling through the
VP-773A
.
