2. DEVICE
   Connect a USB device, such as a speakerphone, to this port. This port provides 5 W of power.

3. PWR
   This LED indicator glows solid green when the unit is powered. Refer to LED Indicators (page 6) for more information.

4. SB-C
   Connect a USB-C cable from this port to a UHD/HD source.

5. LINK
   This LED indicator glows solid amber to indicate that the HDBaseT signal integrity is good. Refer to LED Indicators (page 6) for more information.

6. HDBaseT OUT
   Connect a category cable from this port to the HDBaseT IN port of the AT-OME- EXRX or other PoE-compatible receiver.

RS-232

The AT-OME-EX-TX-WPC provides an RS-232 port which allows communication between a control system and an RS-232 device. This step is optional.

1. Gently remove the RS-232 cover from the faceplate using the tip of a small regular screwdriver.
   

2. Use wire strippers to remove a portion of the RS-232 cable jacket.

3. Remove at least 3/16” (5 mm) from the insulation of the RX, TX, and GND wires.

4. Insert the TX, RX, and GND wires into correct terminal using the included 3 pin captive screw connector.

5. Connect the opposite end of the cable to the control system.
   

NOTE: Typical DE-9 connectors use pin 2 for TX, pin 3 for RX, and pin 5 for ground. On some devices functions of pins 2 and 3 are reversed.

Faceplate Removal and Assembly

Removal of the faceplate requires that the AT-OME-EX-TX-WPC be disassembled from the electrical box or mud ring. A small Phillips-head screwdriver is required to remove the faceplate

1. Unscrew the four Phillips-head screws from the sides of the faceplate, as shown:
   

2. 2. Gently remove the faceplate by pulling it toward you.

3. Attach the new faceplate, then secure it using the four Phillips-head screws. Do not overtighten or apply high-torque devices to the screws. Doing so may damage the faceplate and/or the screws.

4. Install the AT-OME-EX-TX-WPC into the electrical box or mud ring.

5. Reattach the wallplate.

Installation

1. Connect a USB-C cable from the source to the USB-C port.
2. OPTIONAL: Connect a USB device, such as a speakerphone to the DEVICE port. This port provide 5 W of power.
3. Connect a category cable, from the HDBaseT OUT port on the rear of the transmitter, to the HDBaseT IN port on the receiver.
4. OPTIONAL: Connect an RS-232 cable between a control system and the RS 232 port on the transmitter. Refer to RS-232 (page 3) for more information.

Cable Recommendation Guidelines

Refer to the tables below for recommended cabling when using Altona products withHDBaseT. The green bars indicate the signal quality when using each type of cable. Higher-quality signals are represented by more bars.
