Introduction
OVERVIEW
The Hive-KP8 is a programmable 8-button IP keypad capable of sending user programmed TCP/Telnet
commands to other IP enabled equipment on the same network.
Commands are triggered by pressing keypad buttons, by accessing the embedded webpage or by the
user programming of day/time schedules.
You can program and recall up to 16 individual macros to send TCP/Telnet messages or commands to
many IP enabled and IoT systems such as AV distribution, factory automation, security, keypad access.
Each button has two (2) color LEDs where the on/off state, color and brightness are programmable.
The Hive-KP8 includes a power supply or power can come from the compatible LAN network using PoE
(Power over Ethernet).
The Hive-KP8 includes integrated battery-backed clock/calendar allowing the user to send commands
based on specific day/time schedules. For example, each evening the Hive-KP8 powers off and each
morning powers on the devices it controls on the network.
