Page 12: Ip Configuration
The default static IP address of the AT-UHD-CAT-8 is 192.168.1.254. If the AT-UHD-CAT-8 is unable to detect a DHCP server within 15 seconds, then the unit will set all IP settings to zero. IMPORTANT: If the AT-UHD-CAT-8 is receiving a DHCP IP address, and the IP mode is changed to static, then Telnet and web GUI communication will be lost. -
Page 13: Setting The Ip Address Using The Web Gui
System page (page 37), in the web GUI, allows the AT-UHD-CAT-8 to use either DHCP or static IP mode. In order to access the web GUI, the IP address of the AT-UHD-CAT-8 must be known. Refer to Introduction to the Web GUI (page 31). -

Page 16: Edid Management
Basic Operation EDID Management The AT-UHD-CAT-8 provides two EDID modes: INT and LEARN. The default EDID mode is INT mode. In this mode, the AT-UHD-CAT-8 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. -
