ATEN 8-Port Serial Console Server

SN9108CO

  • Secure in-band and out-of-band remote serial console access
  • Versatile serial operating modes – Console Management, Console Management Direct, Real COM Port, TCP Server/Client, UDP Server/Client, and Virtual Modem
  • Auto-sensing DTE/DCE feature supports a direct connection to Cisco network switches (and other compatible devices) without rollover cables for more convenient IT infrastructure deployment
  • Online/Offline detection of connected serial devices (including terminal blocks) – automatically send event notifications when the devices are offline (e.g. power failure) for device status monitoring

The ATEN SN9108CO 8-Port Serial Console Server provides secure and reliable out-of-band access to serial devices across data centers, server rooms, and remote facilities. Designed for IT administrators and network engineers, it enables centralized management of routers, switches, firewalls, industrial equipment, and other RS-232 serial devices over an IP network.

Supporting advanced security features such as TLS 1.2 encryption, RSA 2048-bit certificates, configurable user permissions, and FIPS 140-2 certified cryptography, the SN9108CO helps protect critical infrastructure while simplifying remote device management. Its Cisco pin-out compatibility and auto-sensing DTE/DCE functionality allow direct connections to Cisco switches without requiring rollover cables.

The SN9108CO supports multiple operation modes including Console Management, Real COM Port, TCP Server/Client, UDP Server/Client, and Virtual Modem, making it suitable for industrial automation, environmental monitoring, equipment management, and remote operations. With online device detection, event logging, and email notifications, administrators can quickly monitor device status and respond to issues before they impact operations.

Ideal for organizations seeking secure remote access, reduced maintenance costs, and improved uptime, the SN9108CO delivers a scalable and efficient serial device management solution.
