The Aten VK224 4-Port Serial Expansion Box provides four additional bi-directional RS-232 / 422 / 485 serial ports for a flexible expansion of the ATEN Control System. This allows users to control additional serial devices in an environment where more serial devices are required. With the advantage of an Ethernet-based connection, the expansion box can be easily connected to the VK2100 Control Box via a LAN connection from a variety of locations across a network.

PoE single cable installation

The VK224 is built with PoE which supplies power through the same Ethernet cable that connects it to the LAN – eliminating the need of an extra power source and extra wiring. In addition, the VK224 can be powered via a 5 VDC power adapter.

Expansion via Ethernet

With an Ethernet-based connection, the expansion boxes easily install close to the devices you need to control – anywhere across a network to the VK2100 Control Box. This provides a simple, full-proof solution for you to add device ports anywhere you need them.
