The Atlona AT-ANC-108D is an 8-button network control panel for Atlona IP-based single output channel switchers.
It is designed for easy conguration using the free Atlona Management System (AMS) software resource. The ANC-
108D only requires a single category cable, from a PoE-equipped network switch, to deliver both control signal and
power, and provide fast, hassle-free installation. Conguration is also fast. Simply download a conguration le from
within AMS for Atlona single output switchers such as the HDVS-200 Series, HDVS-300 Kit, SW Series, AT-UHD-
CLSO-601, or AT-UHD-CLSO-612ED.
Even with automatic input switching and display control on many of our AV switchers, presenters still want a visual
means of changing inputs, operating displays and adjusting volume. The ANC-108D backlit panel provides a user-
friendly means of controlling the AV in a meeting room or classroom. System designers need an inexpensive point of
control to meet those needs without worrying about complex control system coding. The ANC-108D, working with
AMS, meets both of these demands. Regardless of the Atlona IP-based switcher designed into the meeting space or
classroom, with the ANC-108D the AV operator will always have a consistent control interface from room to room.
Combined with Atlona IP-controllable switching products for huddle spaces, classrooms and conference rooms, the
network control panel acts as a remote control to send IP commands to the switcher. The switcher in turns acts on
those commands or translates the IP commands into RS-232 commands to control external devices such as displays
to create a seamless AV system. The ANC-108D ts into a US one-gang junction box and is compatible with Decora-
style wallplates.

NOTE: The DC 5V connector is only required if the AT-ANC-108D is not connected to a PoE-
capable network switch. If a PoE-capable switch is unavailable, refer to the instructions below to
connect the power supply. The power supply and captive screw connector are not included.
To purchase the power supply, contact Atlona.
Locate the included orange 2-pin captive screw terminal block and wire the included captive screw terminal block, as
shown below. Do not use high-torque devices, when securing the wires to the terminal block, as this may damage
the screws and/or the block.
1. Insert the wires into the correct terminal on the included captive screw terminal block, as shown below.
2. Tighten the screws to secure the wires. Do not use high-torque devices as this may damage the screws and/or
terminal block.

IP Conguration
Resetting to Factory Defaults
The AT-ANC-108D is shipped with DHCP enabled. Once connected to a network, the DHCP server (if available), will
automatically assign an IP address to the unit. AMS is recommended to congure IP settings of the AT-ANC-180D.
If a static IP address is desired, the unit can be switched to static IP mode. The default static IP address of the AT-
ANC-108D is 192.168.1.50. Refer to Accessing AMS (page 18) for more information.
Resetting the AT-ANC-108D requires that the wallplate be removed. Refer to Wallplate Installation (page 13) for
more information. If no DHCP server is found after a factory-reset, then AT-ANC-108D will be assigned the default
static IP address of 192.168.1.50.
1. Remove the wallplate from the AT-ANC-108D.
2. Press and hold the upper-right button.
3. Press the Reset button, using the end of a paper clip
or other pointed object. The upper-right button will
ash twice.
4. Release the upper-right button and the Reset button.
5. Reattach the wallplate to the AT-ANC-108D.

Button Mapping
Each button on the AT-ANC-108D will be assigned to a particular function, depending upon which device is selected
from the Device Type drop-down list, under the Conguration page (page 23) of AMS.
Before selecting the device to be mapped, make sure the AT-ANC-108D is in the proper orientation: Button 1 is in
the upper-left corner of the unit; Button 8 will be in the lower-right corner of the unit, as shown below. The mini-USB
port should be on the right side of the unit, as it faces forward.
The AMS button numbering, as displayed in the Conguration page of AMS (on the right), matches the numbering
scheme of each button on the AT-ANC-108D. The rst column of buttons is numbered 1 through 4, and the second
column of buttons is numbered 5 through 8.

The AMS Interface
Discovery using AMS
It is recommended that the Atlona Management System (AMS) be used to congure and control the AT-ANC-108D.
AMS is free and can be downloaded from https://www.atlona.com/ams.
By default, the AT-ANC-108D is set to DHCP mode, allowing a DHCP server (if present) to assign the encoder an IP
address. Once an IP address has been assigned, the Atlona Management System (AMS) can be used to manage the
product on the network. Note that AMS will only be able to the AT-ANC-108D if they are on the same VLAN.
Accessing AMS
1. Launch a web browser and enter the IP address of AMS, in the address bar.
2. Enter the required login credentials.
3. Click the Login button.
4. The AMS Dashboard will be displayed.
5. Click the icon, in the upper-left corner of the AMS Dashboard.
