Crestron INET-IOEX-IRCOM – Wireless IR/RS-232 Control Module

Product Overview

The Crestron INET-IOEX-IRCOM is a wireless IR and RS-232 control module operating within the infiNET EX 2.4 GHz mesh wireless ecosystem. It receives control commands from a Crestron processor via an infiNET EX gateway and executes IR or serial commands at the local AV equipment location — without requiring a dedicated wired control run. This module is well suited to retrofit installations and locations where pulling new control cabling is not practical.

Product Description

The INET-IOEX-IRCOM provides IR output ports for controlling IR-capable devices such as displays, AV receivers, and projectors, alongside an RS-232 serial port for devices that accept bidirectional serial control. Commands originate at the Crestron control system, travel wirelessly over the infiNET EX mesh network to the module, and are executed at the equipment rack or mounting location. A compatible infiNET EX gateway — such as the CEN-GWEXER — is required to bridge the infiNET EX wireless network to the wired Crestron control system. The module holds UL Listing and FCC/IC certification for use in North American commercial and residential installations.
