10-Button Programmable Wall Keypad with RS232, IR, Relay & PoE
KanexPro CR-KEY10R 10-button programmable wall keypad with RS232, RS485, IR, relay, PoE & knob. Standalone Linux AV controller — no processor required.
The KanexPro CR-KEY10R is a standalone programmable wall keypad designed to replace expensive proprietary control processors in conference rooms, classrooms, training centers, and exhibition spaces. Built on a Linux-based ARM Cortex-A7 platform with 256MB RAM, it delivers multi-protocol room automation — RS232, RS485, IR, relay, and TCP/IP — from a single flush-mount US 2-Gang wall panel, eliminating the need for a separate control processor or proprietary software. Featuring 10 programmable buttons and a precision knob with LED feedback for real-time volume or level control, the CR-KEY10R integrates 4× RS232, 1× RS485, 2× IR output, 2× relay, and 2× configurable I/O ports. Powered via PoE or DC 5V, it supports TCP/IP, UDP, HTTP, and WebSocket protocols over its 100Mbps Ethernet port. The magnetic aluminum front panel is field-swappable in black or white, and button labels are customizable for any room configuration. Programming is handled through EASYAccomplish software with web GUI access for network configuration.

Questions
- What processor does it have?
- ARM Cortex-A53, Quad-core, 1.8GHz, 2GB DDR4 RAM, 8GB eMMC. Runs Android 9.0.
- How many serial ports?
- 2× RS-232 (COM 1 and COM 2). For rooms needing more serial, use CR-KEY8U (4× RS-232 + RS-485).
- Can it run schedules without a controller?
- Yes. The on-board Android processor executes timed schedules, conditional logic, and scene macros independently.
- Does it work with CR-HOST6S/CR-HOST8R?
- Yes. Can operate standalone or pair with a processor for complex installations.
- What wall box?
- UK, US, EU, CN standard — universal compatibility.
- PoE?
- Yes. Single cable for power + data. DC 24V alternative.
- Buttons not responding?
- Check power (PoE or DC 24V), verify Ethernet, confirm button programming.
- How is it powered?
- Dual power: PoE via the LAN/PoE RJ45 port (standard 802.3af switch) or DC 5V via the 2-pin phoenix connector.
- Can it control devices over the network (TCP/IP)?
- Yes. The 100Mbps Ethernet port supports TCP/IP, UDP, HTTP, and WebSocket. Each button can send network commands to IP-controllable devices alongside serial/IR/relay commands simultaneously.
- What are the dual-color LEDs?
- Each button has white and green LEDs. Green = on/active, white = standby. Visual room status at a glance.
