NO SELECT (i.e. all-off) state. The AT1702 Multiplexer has 16 RF input ports and 2 independently controlled output ports. Essentially it is two 16-to-1 multiplexers sharing the 16 inputs. Each of the output ports can select one of the inputs or can be set in a NO SELECT (i.e.

Each container should include the following: AT1701 AT1702 AT1701 or AT1702 Multiplexer Power Adapter DB9F-to-DB9M cable 6’...
tions port and connected with appropriate cabling. Controller requirements will be dictated by the software application used to control the multiplexer. Note: Any controller equipment (customer supplied) shall be grounded to the same protective ground as the Multiplexer. 3.6 Ethernet Before the Ethernet can be used, the IP address needs to be setup for your network.
4.4 RF Inputs and Outputs Sixteen 1 GHz bandwidth RF inputs are provided. The AT1702 has 2 RF outputs, one for each of the internal 16- to-1 multiplexers. As a result each output can be independently connected to any one of the shared RF inputs, passing that signal through to the output at unity gain.
Independent communication ports are provided for the A and B Ports of the AT1702. A single communications port is provided on the AT1701. The communication inputs for Channel A and Channel B (AT1702 only) connect to a controller using a standard DB9F-to-DB9M connector “straight through” serial cable.

Once the Web page is displayed, simply edit the switch configuration for port A and port B. See section 5 for configuration settings. Additionally the Ethernet IP setup may be modified directly on the Webpage. Select DHCP or STATIC mode. If STATIC is selected, enter the desired IP address, Subnet Mask and Gateway and then click on UPDATE IP CONFIG.
After power-up, the unit will display the current state of each multiplexer. The AT1701 will display only Port A information (no port B). AT1702 will display both Port A and B. The mode, Remote or Manual, is displayed along with the current input port number selected.
5.3 Remote Mode When the Multiplexer is in REMOTE mode all unit functionality is controlled through the communications port. All front panel controls are limited to displaying the current settings, except for the LOCAL/REMOTE function which may be used to manually change to the Manual mode of operation. The RF Input Indicators continue to show the selected RF input, as in LOCAL mode (1 to 16).
6 CONFIGURATION MODE Configuration may be performed manually from the front panel or via the Web Browser interface. See section 4.7 for Web Browser operation. During boot-up (during power-up or after selecting Factory Defaults) the unit goes through a short process when the buttons are not accessible.

6.1 UI Timeout Operation The UI (user interface) Timeout Delay controls whether or not the unit returns to REMOTE mode automatically, after having been put into LOCAL mode by the user. With the delay set to 999 seconds, the unit will remain in LOCAL mode indefinitely. With any other delay value (1-998), the unit will automatically return to REMOTE mode, once no keyboard activity has been detected for the set time delay.

Trigger mode may only be initiated by a remote controller. In order for a controller to initiate the Trigger Mode, the following steps must be followed: 1. The multiplexer output port (A or B) must be in REMOTE mode. 2. The host controller must download a valid Input Sequence Table containing a list of 2 to 255 Inputs 3.
