The West Penn Wire IP Device Controller is a Linux-based PC that allows users to control hub-installed West Penn Wire products via an Ethernet Web interface. When installed on a local area network (LAN), the IP Device Controller will scan the LAN for connected West Penn Wire products allowing the user to auto-discover, configure and control these products through an Ethernet Web interface. The Controller may also be used to manage firmware upgrades of connected West Penn Wire devices. An Application Program Interface (API) is available to allow the West Penn Wire 8 Button IP Controller (AV-IP-C8-WH) to send commands to the IP Device Controller.
