The WebGUI

Introduction to the webGUI

The AT-HDR-M2C includes a built-in webGUI. Atlona recommends that the web GUI be used to set up the AT-HDR-M2C, as it provides intuitive management of all features.

The AT-HDR-M2C is shipped with DHCP enabled. Once connected to a network, the DHCP server will automatically assign an IP address to the unit. Use an IP scanner to determine the IP address of the AT-HDR-M2C. If a DHCP server is not available or if a static IP address is desired, it can be assigned using the IPStatic command or through the System page (page 19). The default static IP address of the AT-HDR-M2C is 192.168.1.254.

1. Launch a web browser.
2. In the address bar, type the IP address of the AT-HDR-M2C.
3. The Login page will be displayed.

Updating the Firmware

Updating the firmware can be completed using either the USB interface or the web GUI. Atlona recommends using the web GUI for updating the firmware. However, If a network connection is not available, the AT-HDR-M2C firmware can be updated using a USB-A to USB mini-B cable.

Using the Web GUI

Requirements

• AT-HDR-M2C
• Firmware file (.bin file)

• Computer

• Connect an Ethernet cable from the computer, containing the firmware, to the same network where the AT-HDR-M2C is connected.

• Go to the System page (page 19) in the web GUI.

Using USB

Requirements

• AT-HDR-M2C
• Firmware file (.bin file)

• Computer
  • USB-A to USB mini-B cable

• Make sure the AT-HDR-M2C is powered.

1. Delete all files from the USB UPDATE drive, if any are present.
2. Drag-and-drop the firmware file to the drive.
3. After the file has been copied, disconnect the USB cable from both the computer and the AT-HDR-M2C.
4. The AT-HDR-M2C will automatically reboot, completing the firmware update process.

Mounting Instructions

The AT-HDR-M2C includes two mounting brackets, which can be used to attach the unit to any flat surface. Use the two enclosure screws, on the sides of the unit to attach the mounting brackets.

1. Using a small Phillips screwdriver, remove the two screws from the left side of the enclosure.

1. Position one of the mounting brackets, as shown below, aligning the holes on the side of the enclosure with one set of holes on the mounting bracket.

2. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to attach the second mounting bracket to the opposite side of the unit.

3. Mount the unit to a flat surface using the oval-shaped holes, on each mounting bracket. If using a drywall surface, a #6 drywall screw is recommended.
