Part of the IR Anywhere family, the KIRARS232 enables IR commands to be sent via local IP network or internet and additionally has support for RS232 control.

The KIRA RS232 is similar to the KIRA128 except that the jack socket for an external IR receiver has been replaced with an RS232 port. It still has an on-board IR receiver should you need it. In addition to the ability to send stored IR codes when triggered by IP commands it will also send stored IR codes when triggered by Keene defined ASCII commands via RS232.

The KIRARS232 can function as:
IR to TCP/IP bridge
RS232 to TCP/IP bridge
TCP/IP to RS232 (for the CTX35 X10 bridge)
RS232 to IR (stored codes)
RS232 disabled (function as KIRA128)
Supports baud 2400, 9600, 19200, 57600, 115200

The KIRARS232 can act as an IR receiver, and will convert the received signal to packet data and send that data to a predetermined IP address (usually another IR Anywhere module). The receiving module will then decode the data and re-transmit the IR as originally received. The IR Anywhere modules can be software configured as either a receiver, a target or stand-alone. They will operate via LAN, and also via WAN assuming firewall and routers are correctly configured.

The KIRARS232 is also capable of storing up to 128 IR codes in local memory. These codes can then be accessed and triggered by any device with web browser capability from local network or internet.  

Note, this is a web page and not an "app" and so can be accessed by any smart phone, PDA or other device with web browser capability.

The KIRARS232 can be can be software configured as either a receiver, a target or stand-alone. Once correctly configured, one target can be used as a local IR emitter for multiple remote receivers. The target can be another IR Anywhere (KIRA or KIRA128) or the IR Commander Matrix (IRCM).
