The ATEN SN9116CO 16-Port Serial Console Server is a secure and reliable out-of-band management solution designed for IT administrators who need remote access and control of serial devices across data centers, server rooms, and remote sites. Featuring 16 RS-232 serial ports, the SN9116CO enables centralized management of network equipment, industrial devices, and critical infrastructure through a secure Ethernet connection.
Designed to simplify deployment, the SN9116CO supports Cisco pin-outs and auto-sensing DTE/DCE functionality, allowing direct connections to Cisco switches and compatible serial devices without requiring rollover cables. It also provides online detection of connected serial devices and automatic email notifications when devices go offline, helping administrators maintain system availability and quickly respond to issues.
Security is a core strength of the SN9116CO. Advanced protection features include TLS 1.2 encryption, RSA 2048-bit certificates, configurable user permissions, local and remote authentication, IP/MAC filtering, and FIPS 140-2 certified cryptography. These technologies ensure secure remote access while protecting critical infrastructure from unauthorized access.
The SN9116CO supports multiple operational modes, including Console Management, Real COM Port, TCP Server/Client, UDP Server/Client, Virtual Modem, and Console Management Direct, providing maximum flexibility for a wide range of serial communication applications. Its comprehensive management capabilities help reduce operational costs, improve response times, and increase overall IT productivity.
