AMX CE-COM2 Control Extender - 2 RS232 Ports

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.
