Device Server ATEN 2-Port RS-232 SN3002-AX-G

The ATEN 2-Port RS-232 Secure Device Server SN3002-AX-G provides simple, secure, and reliable serial-to-Ethernet connectivity for remote access to RS-232 devices over an IP-based Ethernet LAN. Compact and low-power, this device supports 10/100Base-T(X) cabling and includes LED indicators for power and status, making it suitable for commercial and industrial process-control environments that require secure remote management.

Advantages

The SN3002-AX-G integrates magnetic isolation and surge protection for Ethernet, serial, and power lines to enhance system stability and protect equipment from voltage spikes. It offers multiple security features such as 802.1x RADIUS authentication, 2048-bit RSA, and TLS to protect data integrity and confidentiality. The unit supports several operation modes (Real COM, TCP, Serial Tunneling, Console Management and UDP) and provides a 3-step web console setup plus Telnet/SSH for low-bandwidth configuration. Built-in 64 KB port buffering, event notifications (SMTP/SNMP Trap) and system event logs simplify troubleshooting and logging.

Suitable for

• Point-of-sale (POS) device networking
• Access control systems
• SCADA and industrial process control
• Environment and sensor monitoring
• Remote device and site management

How to use

Install the SN3002-AX-G in the chosen location using wall, desktop, DIN-rail, or optional rack mounting. Connect RS-232 serial devices to the serial ports and plug the device into the Ethernet network using 10/100Base-T(X) cabling. Power the unit with the appropriate DC source. Configure the device using the 3-step web console via a browser or, for low-bandwidth environments, use the Telnet/SSH console. Select the required operation mode (Real COM, TCP, Serial Tunneling, Console Management or UDP) and set up authentication and encryption options (802.1x, RSA, TLS) according to your security policy.

Usage recommendations

For improved reliability, ensure the SN3002-AX-G is installed with proper grounding and follow IEC 61000-4 surge waveform guidelines. Keep firmware up to date, enable secure modes and encrypted authentication, and configure event notifications and system logging to assist with monitoring and troubleshooting.
