IP Configuration

The AT-HDR-CAT-4 is shipped with DHCP enabled. Once connected to a network, the DHCP server (if available), will automatically assign an IP address to the unit. If the AT-HDR-CAT-4 is unable to detect a DHCP server within 15 seconds, then the unit will use a self-assigned IP address within the range of 169.254.xxx.xxx/16. If this occurs, refer to Auto IP (APIPA) Mode (page 14).

Use an IP scanner, along with the MAC address on the bottom of the unit, to identify the unit on the network. If a static IP address is desired, the unit can be switched to static IP mode.

Atlona AT-HDR-CAT-8 - IP Configuration - 1

NOTE: When switching between DHCP and static IP mode, the AT-HDR-CAT-4 will retain the last assigned IP address until it is changed manually (static IP mode) or assigned a new IP address by the DHCP server.

EDID Management

The AT-HDR-CAT-4 provides two EDID modes: INT and LEARN. The default EDID mode is INT mode. In this mode, the AT-HDR-CAT-4 will automatically create an EDID based on the capabilities of all connected displays. INT mode is recommended for the best results when the capabilities of all connected displays are unknown. INT mode can also be used to select any of 9 EDID presets. Refer to Selecting EDID Presets (page 21) for more information on this topic. LEARN mode can be used to capture an EDID from any sink device. Once the EDID is learned, it will be used by the connected source device to determine what video and audio formats can be sent to the sink device.

RS-232 Control

The AT-HDR-CAT-4 provides two methods of RS-232 control: Pass-through mode and control mode. The MASTER RS-232 / IR port, allows the unit to be directly controlled using a control system. In addition four pass-through RS-232 / IR ports allow sink devices, at the viewing location, to be controlled using a control system.

RS-232 is serial data protocol that allows Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) devices, such a computer or control system, to communicate with Data Communication Equipment (DCE) devices, such as the AT-HDR-CAT-4 or a display. Although IP control is available, RS-232 still plays an integral part of many control systems. The 25-pin D-type connector (DB-25) was defined as the RS-232 standard, but is now commonly implemented in a nine-pin (DE-9) connector package. Each pin is numbered, as shown below.

RS-232 Port Wiring

When connecting a DTE device to a DCE device, a straight-through cable should be used. A straight-through cable is wired in such a way that the pins on one side of the cable are connected to the corresponding pins on the opposite side of the cable, as shown in the table below. However, the AT-HDR-CAT-4 will use only TxD, RxD, and GND signals when communicating with a control system or computer. Refer to connection instructions on the next page.

Device Operation

  1. Identify the DE-9 connector that will be attached to the control system or computer (DCE) equipment.
  2. Remove the DE-9 connector at the opposite end of the cable with wire cutters.
  3. Remove at least 1" of the cable insulation to expose each of the nine wires.
  4. Locate a multimeter and set it to the "continuity" function.
  5. Attach one of the leads from the multimeter to pin 2 on the DE-9 connector.
  6. Take the other lead and probe each of the wires on the opposite end of the cable. When the wire connected to that pin is detected, the multimeter will emit an audible tone. Once this occurs, identify the current wire, and move it to the side.
  7. Repeat step 6 for pin 3 and pin 5 on the DE-9 connector.
  8. Group the remaining wires and pull them aside. Electrical tape can be use to secure the wires to the outside of the RS-232 cable.
  9. Remove at least 3/16" (5 mm) of insulation from the TxD, RxD, and GND wires.

  2. Insert the TxD, RxD, and GND wires into correct terminal, as shown, and tighten the screws to secure each wire. Do not overtighten.

Device Operation

Pass-through mode

In pass-through mode, RS-232 commands are passed-through the AT-HDR-CAT-4, transmitted over HDBaseT to a receiver unit, and then to the display (sink) device. Note that each RS-232 / IR port is assigned to an HDBaseT OUT port. This assignment is fixed and cannot be changed, as shown in the table below.

RS-232 / IR Port HDBaseT Port
RS-232 / IR 1 HDBaseT OUT 1
RS-232 / IR 2 HDBaseT OUT 2
RS-232 / IR 3 HDBaseT OUT 3
RS-232 / IR 4 HDBaseT OUT 4
  1. Connect the RS-232 cable from the control system to the desired RS-232 / IR port on the AT-HDR-CAT-4. Refer to RS-232 Port Wiring (page 25) for instructions on preparing the cable.
  2. Connect a category cable from the desired HDBaseT OUT port to a receiver. In this example, the HDBaseT cable is connected from HDBaseT OUT 2 to a compatible receiver (the RS-232 cable is connected from the control system to the RS-232 / IR 2 port).
  3. Connect an RS-232 cable between the display (sink) and the receiver.
  4. Adjust the RS-232 settings on the control system to match the requirements of the sink device. For example, if the RS-232 settings for the display device are 9600, N, 8, 1, then set the control system to the same settings. If the control system and sink device settings do not match, then RS-232 control will not function.

CEC

ON / OFF

Click these buttons to test CEC control between the AT-HDR-CAT-4 and the connected sink device. Click the ON button to power-on the device and OFF to power-off the device. Refer to Power Button Modes (page 31) for more information.

Button Description
ON Sends the CEC command to power-on the device.
OFF Sends the CEC command to power-off the device.

*Consumer Electronics Control (CEC): Atlona has confirmed proper CEC functionality with several current models of Samsung, Panasonic, and Sony displays. However, it is not guaranteed that CEC will work with all displays. Many manufacturers do not support the CEC "off" command, and older displays use proprietary commands. Atlona only supports displays that use the CEC command structure defined in HDMI 1.2a. It is recommended that dealers request an evaluation product from Atlona, before designing a system using the CEC protocol. If this is not possible, then other control methods will need to be considered, in order to control displays using Atlona products.
