SCTeci Digital Headend Ethernet Control Interface
The R.L. Drake SCTeci is a professional quality digital head end Ethernet control interface which communicates with the Drake family of transcoders via their respective RS232 serial interfaces. The SCTeci then acts as a Ethernet server allowing a remote computer to access the data through the Internet or local area network using a standard web browser.
Each SCTeci has its own individual MAC address. One SCTeci is utilized for all SCT family transcoders in a headend.
The front panel features status lights as well as a front panel LCD display for programming and status monitoring. Access to the SCTeci can be password protected to prevent unauthorized access or programming changes.
The SCTeci is compatible with the following transcoders when used with the PS100 or PS151 power supplies: SCT860, SCT1860, SCT2860, SCT3860, and SCT4860.
