ATEN Expansion Box

ATEN Expansion Boxes (sold separately) provide additional ports for a

flexible expansion of the ATEN Control System. This allows you to add and

control additional devices in an environment when more devices are required.

With the advantage of an Ethernet-based connection, the expansion boxes are

easily connected to the ATEN controller via a LAN connection from a variety

of locations across a network. The diagram below provides a setup example

using the VK224, a 4-Port Serial Expansion Box.

Note:
