  • Page 19: Rs-232 Control

    Device Operation RS-232 Control The AT-UHD-CAT-4ED provides two methods of RS-232 control: Pass-through mode and control mode. The master RS-232 / IR port, allows the unit to be directly controlled using a control system. In addition four pass-through RS- 232 / IR ports allow sink devices, at the viewing location, to be controlled using a control system. 1 2 3 4 5 RS-232 is serial data protocol that allows Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) devices, such a computer or control system, to communicate with Data Communication Equipment (DCE) devices, such as the AT-UHD-CAT-4ED or a...
  • Page 20: Cable Assembly

    Device Operation Cable Assembly When connecting a DTE device to a DCE device, a straight-through cable should be used. A straight-through cable is wired in such a way that the pins on one side of the cable are connected to the corresponding pins on the opposite side of the cable, as shown in the table below.
  • Page 21: Pass-Through Mode

    Device Operation Pass-through mode In pass-through mode, RS-232 commands are passed-through the AT-UHD-CAT-4ED, transmitted over HDBaseT to a receiver unit, and then to the display (sink) device. Note that each RS-232 / IR port is assigned to an HDBaseT OUT port. This assignment is fixed and cannot be changed, as shown in the table below. RS-232 / IR Port HDBaseT Port RS-232 / IR Port...
  • Page 22: Control Mode

    Device Operation Control mode In control mode, the MASTER RS-232 / IR port is used to directly control the AT-UHD-CAT-4ED using a control system. 1. Launch a web browser and login to the web server. Refer to Introduction to the Web Server (page 29) for more information.
  • Page 23: Ir Control

    Device Operation IR Control IR can be used to control either source devices at the headend or devices connected to the receiver endpoint, such as a display. Note that the MASTER RS-232 / IR port does not support IR control. Note that each RS-232 / IR port is assigned to an HDBaseT OUT port.
  • Page 24: Controlling Source Devices

    Device Operation Controlling Source Devices 1. Remove at least 3/16” (5 mm) of insulation from the RX and GND wires of the emitter. HDMI HDBaseT LOCK INT LEARN 2.
