ATEN 32-Port Serial Console Server with Dual Power/LAN

The ATEN SN0132CO 32-port Serial Console Server delivers enterprise‑grade management for complex IT environments by unifying disparate serial devices into a single, secure control plane. Designed for data centers, campus networks, telecom rooms, and remote offices, this model in the SN01xxCO family combines robust hardware with an intuitive software stack to provide secure, real‑time access to 32 serial endpoints. With dual power and dual LAN capabilities, it stands up to demanding workloads, offering high availability, centralized device management, and effortless deployment for teams that rely on legacy equipment alongside modern network gear. If you need reliable out-of-band control, reduced travel to equipment locations, and streamlined maintenance across distributed sites, the SN0132CO is engineered to meet your needs while future‑proofing your serial infrastructure.

  • 32-port centralized serial management
    Manage a large fleet of serial devices from a single, scalable console. The 32 ports enable simultaneous access and efficient control of servers, switches, routers, printers, BACnet controllers, and other legacy or embedded equipment. With clear port mapping, device tagging, and groupings, technicians can provision, monitor, and troubleshoot dozens of devices without physically visiting racks. This consolidation minimizes downtime, speeds incident resolution, and reduces the overhead of maintaining separate consoles for each device.
  • Dual Power and Dual LAN for high availability
    Built with redundancy in mind, the SN0132CO provides dual power inputs and dual Ethernet LAN interfaces to ensure continuous operation even in the event of a power or network path failure. In practice, this means administrators retain access to critical serial devices during outages or maintenance windows, enabling reliable remote management, consistent configuration propagation, and faster recovery. Ideal for production floors, data centers, and edge locations where uninterrupted access to serial devices is essential for monitoring, provisioning, and troubleshooting.
  • Secure, flexible remote access
    Security is baked into every session. The console server supports encrypted TLS/SSL and SSH connections, ensuring that remote access to serial ports remains confidential and tamper‑resistant. Fine‑grained authentication, role‑based access control, IP filtering, and comprehensive audit logs help satisfy compliance requirements and deter unauthorized usage. Administrators can enforce strict session control, track who accessed which device, and generate audit trails for incident investigations, all from a single, centralized management interface.
  • Intuitive management and monitoring
    The web‑based GUI provides a cohesive, at‑a‑glance view of port status, active sessions, connected devices, and system health. You can deploy device templates to standardize configurations across ports, create user accounts with tailored permissions, and receive real‑time alerts when sessions are initiated or when devices report faults. Compatibility with SNMP and integration with existing ITSM workflows make it easy to incorporate the SN0132CO into your broader monitoring, alerting, and automation strategies.
  • Flexible deployment and compatibility
    Designed to fit in standard 19‑inch racks, the SN0132CO supports a variety of deployment topologies—from centralized data center racks to remote shelf installations. Its broad compatibility with diverse serial devices and multi‑vendor environments makes it a versatile backbone for legacy equipment alongside modern network gear. The model supports scalable port organization, straightforward firmware updates, and seamless integration with your current IT infrastructure, helping you extend the life of older devices while simplifying ongoing management.

how to install ATEN 32-Port Serial Console Server with Dual Power/LAN

  • Plan placement and prepare the rack environment. Choose a well‑ventilated area with adequate clearance for cables, and identify a clean rack‑mount location with stable mounting rails to support the SN0132CO and its cabling bundle.
  • Mount the unit in a standard 19‑inch rack. Secure the chassis using the provided screws and ensure proper cable management to prevent strain on ports and connectors.
  • Connect dual power sources. Attach each power input to a separate power circuit to ensure redundancy. Verify that both supply lines are active before powering on the device.
  • Attach dual LAN connections. Plug two Ethernet cables into the corresponding LAN ports and connect them to redundant switches or a dedicated management network. Consider placing management traffic on a separate VLAN to improve security and performance.
  • Connect serial devices. Map each of the 32 serial devices to the corresponding ports on the SN0132CO. Label cables and ports to simplify ongoing maintenance and future scaling.
  • Power on and access the web GUI. After boot, locate the device on your network, open a browser, and navigate to the management IP. Create an administrator account, configure network settings (IP, gateway, DNS), and apply initial security policies such as TLS/SSH enforcement and access control rules.
  • Configure port profiles and templates. Define templates for common device types, assign them to ports, and preset best practices for baud rate, parity, flow control, and session behavior. This accelerates deployment across large environments and ensures consistent configurations.
  • Enable monitoring and backups. Set up SNMP traps, syslog messages, or integration with your ITSM toolchain. Schedule regular configuration backups and firmware updates to keep the system secure and up to date.
  • Test failover and user access. Validate that a failover event between networks or power paths maintains sessions and that users with appropriate roles can access the devices as intended. Document access procedures for on‑call staff and responders.
