AMX CE-COM2 Control Extender – 2 RS232 Ports

The AMX CE-COM2 is a compact networked control extender purpose-built for integrating legacy RS232 devices into modern AMX and HARMAN Professional control systems. Its diminutive footprint—roughly the size of a deck of cards—makes it ideal for installation in confined spaces, server racks, or distributed system architectures 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 sound engineers and system operators flexibility in system architecture without vendor lock-in.

Key Features

  • Gigabit Ethernet port with PoE power support
  • RS232 5-pin 3.5mm screw terminal port
  • RS232/422/485 10-pin 3.5mm screw terminal port
  • Baud rate range from 300 to 115.2K baud
  • XON/XOFF and CTS/RTS flow control protocols
  • PoE powered with typical power draw of 1.9 watts
  • Compact form factor: 1 x 4.06 x 4.09 inches
  • HControl native support for auto-discovery
  • Integrated web interface for configuration
  • Open API for control by any compatible system

The CE-COM2 solves the challenge of retrofitting legacy serial devices into modern networked control infrastructures without sacrificing reliability, simplicity, or system flexibility.

At a Glance

The AMX CE-COM2 is a networked control extender that bridges legacy RS232 devices into modern AMX and HARMAN Professional control systems via Gigabit Ethernet and PoE power. It's built for live-sound installers and venue technical directors who need to integrate older serial equipment—lighting controllers, projectors, legacy audio interfaces—into contemporary networked rigs without replacing working gear. Choose it for its compact footprint, dual independent RS232 channels with flexible baud-rate support, and plug-and-play HControl discovery that gets systems running reliably in confined rack spaces and distributed venue installations.

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.
