Frequently asked questions
What is the CE-COM2 actually used for?
The CE-COM2 converts legacy RS232 serial device control into networked commands that AMX and HARMAN Professional systems can understand. It sits between old equipment (like projectors or lighting controllers with RS232 ports) and your modern networked control infrastructure, allowing them to work together.
What is the HPX-AC-TMPLT-1200 used for?
This is a physical cutting template—a reusable guide that marks where you need to cut holes in tables, lecterns, or other furniture to mount the HydraPort HPX-1200 connection panel. It's a tool for the installation phase, not a networking device.
Can I use both products together in a system?
Yes. The CE-COM2 handles legacy device control over your network, while the HPX-AC-TMPLT-1200 helps you physically install connection ports in your installation furniture. They serve entirely different functions and complement each other in a complete AMX integration project.
Which one should I buy first if I'm new to AMX?
Start with the HPX-AC-TMPLT-1200 if you're setting up a new conference room or installation space and need to mount HydraPort ports. Buy the CE-COM2 only if you have specific legacy RS232 devices that need network integration into your AMX system.
