Basic Operation

Volume control can also be managed over RS-232 or IP and can be configured using any of the following methods:

• On-Screen Display (OSD). Refer to the Control Settings (page 24) menu for more information.

• Web GUI. Refer to RS-232 Menu (page 42) for more information.

Both products have auto-switching capability. The unit will automatically switch to the most recently-connected or powered source when a source is disconnected. For example, if the connection sequence is HDMI 2 > HDMI 1 > VGA, then disconnecting the source from HDMI 1 will result in the product automatically switching to the VGA port.

Auto-switching can be enabled or disabled using any one of the following methods:

• On-Screen Display (OSD). Refer to the Others (page 26) menu for more information.

• Web GUI. Refer to Introduction to the Web GUI (page 29) for more information.

• RS-232 / IP commands. Refer to Commands (page 47) for more information.

Auto Switching

The AT-HD-SC-500 can pass two-channel analog audio, by itself, or with a VGA signal. The signal is embedded on the HDMI output.

1. Connect a 3.5 mm mini-stereo cable from the AUDIO IN port to the analog audio source.

2. OPTIONAL: Connect a VGA source to the VGA IN port.

3. Press the INPUT button until the VGA indicator turns bright green. This input must be selected in order to use the AUDIO IN port.

The AT-HD-SC-500 includes a built-in web GUI. Atlona recommends that the web GUI be used to control the AT-HD-SC-500, as it provides intuitive management of all features.

The AT-HD-SC-500 is shipped with DHCP enabled. Once connected to a network, the DHCP server will automatically assign an IP address to the unit. If a DHCP server is not available or if a static IP address is desired, it can be assigned using the IPStatic (page 63) command or through the Network Menu (page 45) in the web GUI. The default IP address of the AT-HD-SC-500 is 192.168.1.254.

1. Launch a web browser.

2. In the address bar, type the IP address of the AT-HD-SC-500.

3. The Login page will be displayed.

4. Type root, using all lower-case characters, in the Username field. The username cannot be altered.

5. Type Atlona in the Password field. The password field is case-sensitive. When the password is entered, it will be masked. The password can be changed through the Config Menu (page 44) of the web GUI.

6. Click the Submit button or press the ENTER key on the keyboard.

Several settings within the Web GUI use toggles, which enable, disable, or assign one of two settings. In most cases, when the toggle is blue, this means the feature is enabled. In addition, the toggle will be set to the ON or ENABLED position. If a feature is disabled, then the toggle will appear gray and be labeled as OFF or DISABLED.

Toggles are also used to enable or access another set of controls within the Web GUI. For example, the Enable toggle, for the Overscan setting, must be set to the ON position in order for the slider controls to be adjusted.

In some cases, the toggle will allow switching between two settings, such as the IP Mode setting, under the Network menu. This toggle sets the AT-HD-SC-500 to either static or DHCP mode. Refer to Network Menu (page

45) for more information on this feature.
