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.

Core| Shielding| CAT5e| CAT6| | | CAT6a| | | | CAT7| | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---
Solid| UTP (unshielded)| | | | | | | | | | | | N/A
STP (shielded)| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Performance Rating (MHz)| 350| 500| 600| 800

IMPORTANT: It is recommended to use UTP6A (https://atlona.com/product/utp6a/) and STP6X (https://atlona.com/product/stp6x/) if a stranded/patch cable is needed. These cables have been tested and approved to work with these extenders for full functionality.

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

TEST
The transmitter has the ability to test the HDBaseT cable quality through the front panel. Press the test button on the front panel of the transmitter to start the test, the LED will display the testing results.

Button

• Blue Blinking: The test is running properly and the button will blink 10 times during the testing process.
• Red Light: There is no signal for the test to check.

LED

• No Light: There is no HDBaseT cable plugged in.
• Blinking: There is no HDBaseT signal coming through.
• Solid Green: The HDBaseT cable is good.
• Solid Yellow: One or two HDBaseT pairs are not working, reterminate the cable.
• Solid Red: Multiple pairs are not working. Reterminate the cable and if the LED turns yellow or red again, replace the cable.

Updating Firmware

1. Download the firmware .zip file from the firmware tab located at https://atlona.com/product/AT-AVA-EX100CE-BP-KIT.

2. Unzip the .bin file to an easy to locate area of the local PC.

3. Connect the transmitter’s FW micro USB port to a PC using a micro USB to USB A cable
   (purchased separately).

4. The PC should automatically detect the unit and display the autorun options. Select the view files in folder option. A new window will open.

5. If there are any files inside the folder, delete them, otherwise drag and drop the .bin file into the folder. While the firmware loads to the unit, the green power LED on the front panel will flash. This process can take up to 5 minutes to complete.

6. Once the green LED goes solid, disconnect the unit from the PC. The firmware update is finished.

NOTE: Only the transmitter will be used for updating firmware. The receiver will be updated once it has been connected to the transmitter if it is not connected at the time of the firmware update.
