Installation
1. Place the AT-OMNI-311 next to the USB host device and connect a USB cable from the HOST port to the host
computer.
The AT-OMNI-311 can be connect to a AT-OMNI-324 (not included) in one of two ways:
a. Connect an Ethernet cable, up to 330 feet (100 meters), from the LAN port of the
AT-OMNI-311 directly to the AT-OMNI-324 (not included).
2. The AT-OMNI-311 is powered by the host computer. No external power supply is required.
3. Refer to Pairing (page 13) for instructions on pairing.
a. Connect an Ethernet cable, up to 330 feet (100 meters), from the LAN port on the
AT-OMNI-311 to the network switch.
b. Connect an Ethernet cable, up to 330 feet (100 meters), from the receiver (AT-OMNI-324; not included) to a
switch on the same network.
Connection Instructions
NOTE: When connecting a transmitter and receiver, over a network, the cable distance between
hops must not exceed 330 feet (100 meters) for copper connections (ber extenders can be used
to create longer runs). For example, connecting up to ve network switches, using copper cabling,
can be used to extend USB up to 1980 feet (600 meters).

Basic Operation
9. Click the one of the drop-down lists and select the desired OmniStream 324. In this example, only a single
OmniStream 324 is connected to the network. Therefore, this is the only available option.
10. Click the SAVE button at the bottom of the page.
11. The pairing process is complete. Repeat steps 7 through 10 for each OmniStream 311 on the network.
To unpair an OmniStream 311 from a OmniStream 324, select None from the drop-down list and then click the
SAVE button.

AT-OMNI-311

that all USB connections have been made.
OmniStream 311
OmniStream 324
2. Press and hold the PAIRING button on the OmniStream 311 using the end of a paperclip or other pointed object.
3. Release the PAIRING button after approximately 10 seconds. The LINK LED indicator will begin ashing.
Pairing mode is now active on the OmniStream 311.
4. Press and hold the PAIRING button on the OmniStream 324 using the end of a paperclip or other pointed object.
The PAIRING button on the OmniStream 324 must be pressed within 10 minutes of activating pairing mode on
the OmniStream 311. If not, then the pairing process will automatically be cancelled.
5. Release the PAIRING button on the OmniStream 324 after approximately 10 seconds. The LINK LED indicator
will begin ashing. Pairing mode is now active on the OmniStream 324.
The OmniStream 311 and OmniStream 324 will begin the linking process. During the linking process, the LINK
LED indicator on both unit may ash more slowly. This is normal behavior.
Once both LINK LED indicators are solid green, the pairing process will be complete.
When the OmniStream 311 and OmniStream 324 are connected directly to one another, follow the instructions below.
This procedure covers both the OmniStream 311 and OmniStream 324.
