   Connect an HDMI cable from this port to the display (sink) device.

RS-232 and IR

• The AT-OME-EX-RX provides pass-through transport of RS-232 protocol and/or IR over HDBaseT, which allows communication between a control system and an RS-232 or IR device. This step is optional.

1. Use wire strippers to remove a portion of the cable jacket.
2. Remove at least 3/16” (5 mm) from the insulation of the RX, TX, and GND wires for the RS-232 connection.
3. Insert the TX, RX, and GND wires into correct terminal using one of the included 4-pin captive screw connectors.
4. Repeat step 2 for the S and GND wires for the IR connection.
5. Insert the S (signal) wire in to the TX terminal and the ground wire to the GND terminal.
6. Tighten the captive screws to secure the wires in place. Do not over-tighten or use high-torque devices to prevent damage to the connector block.

NOTE: Typical DB9 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. Note that the signal (S) pin for the IR is labeled as “TX” on the port.

Power

1. Locate the included orange captive-screw block, and loosen the screws to allow room to insert the copper wiring.
2. Wire the included power supply to the block, as shown below. Do not use high-torque devices, when securing the wires to the captive-screw terminal block, as this may damage the screws and/or block.

Installation

1. Connect a UHD/HD display to the HDMI OUT port.

2. Connect up to two USB devices (mouse, keyboard, etc.) to the DEVICE ports. These ports provide 2.5 W per USB device.

3. Connect a category cable, from the HDBaseT IN port on the AT-OME-EX-RX to the HDBaseT OUT port on the transmitter.

4. OPTIONAL: Connect an Ethernet cable from the LAN port on the AT-OME-EX-RX to the display (sink) device. This cable provides IP pass-through transport control from a control system to the display (sink) device connected to the AT-OME-EX-RX.

5. OPTIONAL: Connect the RS-232 device to the RS-232 port on the AT-OME-EX-RX.
   Refer to RS-232 and IR (page 3) for more information.

6. OPTIONAL: OPTIONAL: Connect the included IR emitter to the IR port on the AT-OME-EXRX.
   Refer to RS-232 and IR (page 3) for more information.

7. Connect the included 48 V DC power supply to the DC 48 V power receptacle on the transmitter.

8. Connect the power supply to an available AC outlet.

Cable Recommendation Guidelines

• Refer to the tables below for recommended cabling when using Altona products with HDBaseT.
• The green bars indicate the signal quality when using each type of cable. Higher-quality signals are represented by more bars.
• IMPORTANT: Stranded or patch cables are not recommended due to performance issues.

Atlona recommends TIA/EIA 568-B termination for optimal performance.

LED Indicators

The PWR and LINK LED indicator provides basic information on the current status of the ATOME- EX-RX.

•     Verify that the locking connector is securely fastened to the power receptacle.

•     Make sure that the power supply is connected to an active AC outlet.

Mounting Instructions

• The AT-OME-EX-RX provides two mounting brackets, which can be used to attach the AT-OMEEX-
• RX to any flat surface. Use the two enclosure screws, on the sides of the AT-OME-EX-RX to attach the mounting brackets.

1. Using a small Phillips screwdriver, remove the two screws from the left side of the enclosure.
2. Position one of the mounting brackets, as shown below, aligning the holes on the side of the enclosure with one set of holes on the mounting bracket.
3. Use the screws from Step 1 to attach the mounting bracket.
4. Repeat these steps to attach the second mounting bracket to the opposite side of the ATOME- EX-RX.
5. Mount the AT-OME-EX-RX to a flat surface using the oval-shaped holes, on each mounting bracket. If using a drywall surface, a #6 drywall screw is recommended.
