Installation IP Configuration The AT-OME-ST31A 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-OME-ST31A 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.
Installation Auto IP Mode If the AT-OME-ST31A 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. If this occurs, connect the AT-OME-ST31A to a computer running Microsoft Windows®...
Device Operation LED Indicators The LED indicators on both the front and rear of the unit provide basic information on the current status of the AT- OME-ST31A. Description Solid green • Unit is receiving power using the optional 24 V DC power supply (not included) or the Ethernet cable connected between the HDBaseT OUTPUT port and a PoE over HDBaseT-compatible receiver.
Device Operation Input Switching Switching between any of the three input ports can be performed either manually or automatically. The following section covers both methods. Manual Switching 1. Press and release the INPUT button on the front panel to cycle between INPUT 1 (USB-C), INPUT 2 (HDMI), and INPUT 3 (HDMI) inputs.
Device Operation HDCP Content Normally, if a source is transmitting HDCP content to a display that is not HDCP-compatible, then the resulting image on the display can be “snow”, image flickering, or no picture. For example, in the illustration below, a laptop source is connected to the AT-OME-ST31A.
Device Operation Controlling Audio The AT-OME-ST31A provides complete control over both audio muting and audio input sources. Audio muting can be controlled on both HDMI and HDBaseT outputs. Analog audio can also be embedded on the HDBaseT or HDMI outputs using a 3.5 mm mini-stereo cable. Audio Output Muting 1.
