Cheat sheet

driver.cheatSheet()

What it is

The Global Cache GC-100-06 network adapter has one RS-232 port and three IR ports, each usable as an IR emitter output or a sensor input. It accepts one TCP client at a time on the Unified TCP API port 4998.

Specs

Type: Network adapter, 1 serial port and 3 IR or sensor ports

Inputs: 1x DB9 RS-232, 3x 3.5 mm IR or sensor ports

Mounting: Desktop or rack shelf

Setup

First Use: With no DHCP server the unit takes 192.168.1.70. Serial data crosses TCP 4999. The GC-100 accepts one TCP client on port 4998, and one per serial port. What happens to a second client is not documented. The IR module address 2 is derived; confirm it with GET DEVICE MODE on first connect.

Support

Tech Support Phone: 541-899-4800

Power Cycle: Remove power for ten seconds. Relay states return to open after a reset or power cycle.
