The VK236 6-Port IR/Serial Expansion Box provides six additional IR/Serial ports for a flexible expansion of the ATEN™ Control System. This allows users to control additional IR/serial devices in an environment where more 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. ID Switch pairs the VK236 with a controller to instantly configure the network settings. Up to eight VK236 expansion boxes can be added to a single Control Box. Supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) or DC power supply.
