Description
AMX CE-COM2 Control Extender – 2 RS232 Ports
The AMX CE-COM2 is a compact networked control extender designed to integrate legacy RS232 devices into modern AMX and HARMAN Professional control ecosystems. Its diminutive footprint—roughly the size of a deck of cards—makes it ideal for placement in rack spaces, behind equipment, or distributed throughout a studio setup where traditional control infrastructure proves impractical.
Network & Connectivity Architecture
This unit bridges serial and networked control domains via Gigabit Ethernet with integrated PoE power delivery, eliminating the need for separate power supplies in many installations. Two independent RS232 channels—a 5-pin 3.5mm screw terminal and a 10-pin 3.5mm screw terminal supporting RS232/422/485—accommodate different legacy device requirements while flexible baud rate support from 300 to 115.2K baud with XON/XOFF and CTS/RTS flow control ensures compatibility across generations of control equipment.
Integration & Management
Native HControl support enables automatic discovery and registration with AMX processors and HARMAN Professional networked devices, streamlining deployment in multi-device environments. An integrated web interface provides straightforward configuration and monitoring, while the open API allows control from any compatible system or custom application, giving studio engineers flexibility in system architecture without vendor lock-in.

Frequently Asked Questions
What RS232 devices can the CE-COM2 connect to?
The CE-COM2 accommodates legacy RS232, RS422, and RS485 devices via its two independent ports—a 5-pin 3.5mm screw terminal and a 10-pin 3.5mm screw terminal. Baud rates range from 300 to 115.2K with XON/XOFF and CTS/RTS flow control, making it compatible with most older serial control equipment including lighting controllers, projectors, and vintage audio interfaces.
Does the CE-COM2 need a separate power supply?
No. The unit features integrated PoE (Power over Ethernet) support and draws only 1.9 watts typical power consumption, so it can be powered directly through the Gigabit Ethernet connection in most installations, eliminating the need for a separate power supply.
How does the CE-COM2 integrate with my existing AMX or HARMAN system?
The CE-COM2 supports native HControl protocol for automatic discovery and registration with AMX processors and HARMAN Professional networked devices. It also includes an integrated web interface for manual configuration and an open API that allows control from any compatible system, providing flexibility without vendor lock-in.
Is the CE-COM2 suitable for small or tight installation spaces?
Yes. The CE-COM2 measures just 1 x 4.06 x 4.09 inches, making it one of the smallest networked control extenders available and ideal for installation in confined spaces, server racks, or distributed system architectures where traditional control infrastructure would be impractical.
