Introduction

Overview
ATEN VE2812AUST / VE2812AEUT is a video transmitter that can send VGA (with audio) and HDMI signals up to 100 m over a single Cat 5e/6/6a or ATEN 2L-2910 Cat 6 cable. Featuring built-in PoH (Power over HDBaseT) function, the VE2812AUST / VE2812AEUT receives power supply from the HDBaseT output port on the connected device. This eliminates the need for a power adapter and reduces the hassle of power line deployment behind the wall. The VE2812AUST / VE2812AEUT guarantees reliable transmission of HDMI/ VGA signals. For HDMI signal transmission, it supports 3D, Deep Color, and embedded HD lossless audio formats. In addition, the VE2812AUST / VE2812AEUT supports Long Reach Mode, which allows the device to transmit signals up to 150 m, 1080p, over a Cat 5e/6 cable. For utility flexibility, the VE2812AUST / VE2812AEUT can serve as a video switch by connecting to two sources and distribute them to an identical output. The compact wall plate design does away with bulky cables, allowing a neat and convenient installation in the wall or the table. The VE2812AUST / VE2812AEUT is designed for use in meeting rooms or digital education environments where high video quality is required.

3. (Optional) Connect your computer or control system to the RS-232 serial port on the VE2812AUST / VE2812AEUT.
Note: The RS-232 serial port is a terminal block connector. Please refer to Terminal Block Connection on page 14 for more details.
4. (Optional) Connect an IR transmitter/receiver to the IR port. 5. (Optional) Plug the power adapter cable into the power terminal block on
the VE2812AUST / VE2812AEUT to power on the device. Please refer to Power Supply Information on page 14 for more details.
Note: The VE2812AUST / VE2812AEUT prioritizes the power supply from the power adapter when the power adapter is plugged in.
Terminal Block Connection
Follow the instructions below for terminal block connection: 1. Detach the terminal block from the port (e.g. RS-232 serial port). 2. Loosen the screws on top of the terminal block (turning a screwdriver
counter-clockwise) to open the gates. 3. Insert the wires into the gates according to the label on the unit. 4. Tighten the screws for each gate to secure the wires to the terminal block. 5. Attach the terminal block back to its port.

Chapter 2. Hardware Setup
3. Insert the exposed +5V wire and GND wire tightly into the provided 2-pin terminal block connector. Refer to Terminal Block Connection on page 14 for more details. Note: You can determine the exposed wire’s polarity (i.e., +5V or GND) by using a voltmeter.
RS-232 Channel Transmission
You can manage the VE2812AUST / VE2812AEUT via RS-232 serial devices, such as computers or bar code scanners. The RS-232 signal transmission flow can be illustrated as follows (VE2812UST is used as the example):
The general concept here is that a RS-232 signal can be transmitted (Tx) to the receiving (Rx) end of a unit. The received signal can then be transmitted (Tx) to the receiving (Rx) end of another unit. The RS-232 signals can be transmitted back the other way. You can set the VE2812AUST / VE2812AEUT to either bypass serial data or to receive RS-232 commands. By default, the VE2812AUST / VE2812AEUT is set to receive serial data. To set the unit to bypass RS-232 commands, press the input switch pushbutton for 3 seconds. For details on RS-232 commands, see RS-232 Serial Transmission, page 19.
