Installation RS-232 The AT-UHD-SW-5000ED provides an RS-232 port which can be used to control a display connected to an HDMI output. Atlona recommends controlling the AT-UHD-SW-5000ED using IP and reserving the RS-232 port for local display control. 1. Use wire strippers to remove a portion of the cable jacket. 2.
Installation Connection Instructions 1. Connect up to two HDBaseT transmitters to INPUT 1 and INPUT 2. Atlona recommends CAT-5e or better cabling. 2. Connect up to five UHD/HD HDMI sources to ports INPUT 3 through INPUT 5. 3. Connect an HDMI cable from the HDMI OUT port to a UHD/HD display. 4.

Installation IP Configuration The AT-UHD-SW-5000ED 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-UHD-SW-5000ED 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. Use an IP scanner, along with the MAC address on the bottom of the unit, to identify the unit on the network.
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- UHD-SW-5000ED. Description HDBaseT 1, Solid green The input is the currently selected (active) input. HDBaseT 2, HDMI 3 - The input is not the active input.
Device Operation System Configuration The AT-UHD-SW-5000ED provides easy access to system configuration through the built-in web server, and is the recommended method to adjust network settings. NOTE: When a setting within the Network Settings page is being modified, the background color will switch from white to gray.
Device Operation Changing the Network IP Mode By default, the AT-UHD-SW-5000ED is set to DHCP mode. Once connected to a network, and if a DHCP server is found (or available), the AT-UHD-SW-5000ED will be assigned an IP address on the network, and no further network configuration is required.
Device Operation Setting Static IP Mode using the Front Panel By default, the AT-UHD-SW-5000ED is set to DHCP mode. Once connected to a network, and if a DHCP server is found (or available), the AT-UHD-SW-5000ED will be assigned an IP address on the network, and no further network configuration is required.
Device Operation Changing the Telnet Port Typically, the Telnet service is assigned to TCP port 23. This is the default setting for the AT-UHD-SW-5000ED. However, depending upon the network environment, the default Telnet port can be changed. 1. Login to the web server. Refer to Introduction to the Web Server (page 38).
Device Operation Telnet Login Mode When a Telnet session is requested, the AT-UHD-SW-5000ED provides the option to prompt for user credentials or bypass authentication before the Telnet session begins. Prompting for credentials can be enabled or disabled. When prompting for user credentials, use the same login information required by the built-in web server. 1.
Device Operation Setting the Host Name By default, the AT-UHD-SW-5000ED is assgned a hostname, which is constructed as follows: SW52ED-[last six digits of MAC address] For example, a default hostname might look like this: SW52ED-006154. This value can be changed to easily identify the AT-UHD-SW-5000ED within the Atlona Management System (AMS) or a network.
Device Operation Video Switching Enabling / Disabling Auto-Switching The AT-UHD-SW-5000ED provides auto-switching capability, which is enabled by default. This feature will automatically switch the input to the most recently-connected source. If a source is disconnected, then the input will automatically be switched to the previously-connected source. By default, auto-switching is enabled on the AT-UHD-SW-5000ED, allowing the unit to automatically switch between inputs when sources are connected or disconnected.
Device Operation Selecting the Input The active input can be selected from the front panel, the built-in web server, or an API call. Refer to the AT-UHD- SW-5000ED Application Programming Interface for more information. 1. Login to the web server. Refer to Introduction to the Web Server (page 38).
Device Operation Resetting to Factory-Defaults The following procedure will reset the AT-UHD-SW-5000ED to factory-default settings. The network IP mode will be set to DHCP mode. Using the Web Server 1. Login to the web server. Refer to Introduction to the Web Server (page 38).
Device Operation Using the Front Panel 1. Verify that the AT-UHD-SW-5000ED is powered. 2. Simultaneously press and hold the INPUT and POWER buttons for 15 seconds. 3. The input indicator will switch to HDBaseT 1. HDBaseT 1 INPUT POWER HDBaseT 2 HDMI 3 HDMI 4 HDMI 5...
Device Operation Audio Management The AT-UHD-SW-5000ED provides volume control and independent audio muting. Audio muting can be controlled on HDMI OUT, HDBaseT OUT, and ANALOG OUT ports. To de-embed the source audio on the ANALOG OUT port, connect the included 5-pin captive screw connector to the ANALOG OUT port. De-embedding audio is restricted to multichannel Linear PCM formats.
Device Operation Audio Output Muting 1. Login to the web server. Refer to Introduction to the Web Server (page 38). The default username and password are listed below: Username: root Password: Atlona 2. Click Settings in the menu bar. 3. Locate the Audio Settings section. 4.
Device Operation User Management The AT-UHD-SW-5000ED allows the administrator password to be changed. The password applies to both the web server and Telnet sessions. Note that the Username field cannot be changed. All users have the same level of access to control the AT-UHD-SW-5000ED. However, only the root user is allowed to manage other users. Up to three additional users can be created.
Device Operation Adding Users 1. Login to the web server. Refer to Introduction to the Web Server (page 38). The default username and password are listed below: Username: root Password: Atlona 2. Click Config in the menu bar. 3. Enter the desired username and password for the desired user field: User 1, User 2, and User 3. 4.
Device Operation Editing / Deleting Users The username and password of a user can be changed using this method. 1. Login to the web server. Refer to Introduction to the Web Server (page 38). The default username and password are listed below: Username: root Password: Atlona 2.
Device Operation EDID Management Before a source can send picture and sound to a display device, the source reads the EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) structure, which is stored in the display. The EDID contains information about what type of video and audio formats are supported by the display.
Page 34
Device Operation 4. Click the drop-down list, next to the port that is connected to the display device, and select the desired EDID preset. For example, if the HDMI IN 3 port is connected to a display, click the Input 3 drop-down list and select the EDID.
Device Operation Storing EDID Data The AT-UHD-SW-5000ED provides eight memory locations which can be used to store EDID data. Any downstream EDID can be captured and stored in these locations. Each memory location is non-volatile and captured EDID data is stored after power is disconnected from the unit. 1.
Page 36
Device Operation 5. Click the drop-down list, next to the output which will be used to fetch the EDID. In this example, since the display is connected to the HDMI OUT port, a memory location next to the Output 1 option is selected. Here, the EDID will be stored in MEM_1.
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-UHD-SW-5000ED.
Configuration and Management Interfaces Introduction to the Web Server The AT-UHD-SW-5000ED includes a built-in web server.
