• Make sure when connecting the CAT5e/6/7 cables a 568B termination method is used.
• Avoid using patch panels and wall plates during initial set up and testing of the matrix switcher.
• Make sure the matrix is connected to a component surge suppressor and line conditioner.
Note: Atlona’s warranty does not cover damage due to electrical disturbances. A component surge
suppressor and line conditioner are highly suggested especially in areas with electrical storms.
• Be sure you’re using a mono to mono (2 conductor) 3.5mm IR cable (i.e. AT-MINIMONO6 - available
to purchase at Atlona.com) when using IR output control from 3rd party controllers, stereo (3
conductor) 3.5mm cables are not compatible.

The final set up for the Matrix Switcher is for the EDID. When the matrix is completely connected
and turned on it will load the default EDID, which is the highest common native resolution of the
devices. (i.e. With devices connected that range from 720p, 1080p, 2 channel audio, multi-channel
audio and 3D, the default resolution will be 720p. Multi-channel audio and 3D are not available
on default unless all devices have these features.)
There are two options when setting up EDID: Default and Copy. In order to have any options other
than default different EDIDs must first be learned. The AT-PRO2HD1616M can copy up to 8 EDIDs to
memory.
To save EDIDs follow the LCD on screen prompts of the switcher choosing option 1.

RS-232 Set Up
Baud Rate
To set up the RS-232 hyperterminal (if not using 3rd party software) the first thing needed is to find
the RS-232 communications port under the computer’s device manager. Once there right click the
port and select properties. Under the properties menu select the port settings tab and update the
menu to the matrix default: Bits Per Second: 115200, Data Bits: 8, Parity: None, Stop Bits: 1 and Flow
Control: None.
To change the baud rate of the matrix or the receivers (i.e. AT-PRO2HDREC or AT-PRO21616M-RX)
an RS-232 hyperterminal will be needed. Once the RS-232 hyperterminal is set up changing the baud
rate will be done with a command line. The baud rate for the matrix is for matrix control and
the receiver baud rate is for control of the RS-232 device in the zone being altered.
Note: Baud Rate must be only 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, or 115200

Command for Receiver (output zone) baud rate
Command for Receiver baud rate status
RS232paraX[baudrate,data-length,parity,stop-bit]
X represents the zone# (output#), the data length must be 7 or 8, partity bit will be 0 for none, 1 for
odd, 2 for even, and the stop-bit must be 1 or 2.
For example if you wish to change the baud rate to 19200, data length 8, ODD parity, and 1 stop-bit
on other receiver in zone 6 to 19200 the command would look like this:
RS232para6[19200,8,1,1]
RS232para
The RS-232 status command will provide feedback for the current parameters for each output.
Example: (See example of feedback below)
RS232para
Current RS232 parameter:
- Port 1 :BaudRate 2400bps, DataBits 0, Parity None, StopBits 1.
- Port 2 :BaudRate 9600bps, DataBits 0, Parity ODD, StopBits 1.
- Port 3 :BaudRate 9600bps, DataBits 0, Parity None, StopBits 1.
- Port 4 :BaudRate 9600bps, DataBits 0, Parity None, StopBits 1.
- Port 5 :BaudRate 19200bps, DataBits 0, Parity None, StopBits 1.
- Port 6 :BaudRate 9600bps, DataBits 0, Parity None, StopBits 1.
- Port 7 :BaudRate 9600bps, DataBits 0, Parity None, StopBits 1.
- Port 8 :BaudRate 9600bps, DataBits 0, Parity None, StopBits 1.
- Port 9 :BaudRate 38400bps, DataBits 0, Parity None, StopBits 1.
- Port 10 :BaudRate 9600bps, DataBits 0, Parity None, StopBits 1.
- Port 11 :BaudRate 9600bps, DataBits 0, Parity None, StopBits 1.
- Port 12 :BaudRate 9600bps, DataBits 0, Parity None, StopBits 1.
- Port 13 :BaudRate 9600bps, DataBits 0, Parity None, StopBits 1.
- Port 14 :BaudRate 9600bps, DataBits 0, Parity None, StopBits 1.
- Port 15 :BaudRate 57600bps, DataBits 0, Parity None, StopBits 2.
- Port 16 :BaudRate 9600bps, DataBits 0, Parity None, StopBits 1.
Note: Default for the outputs is: Baud-9600bps, Data length-8bit, Parity-None, Stop Bit-1
The ability to check baud rate status on the outputs will help to identify control compatibility for in
zone RS-232 devices.
Command for Matrix baud rate
CSpara[baudrate,data-length,parity,stop-bit] (data, parity, and stop for matrix must be 8,0,1)
For example if you wish to change the baud rate to 38400 the command would look like this:
CSpara[38400,8,0,1]

Updating and Resetting
Updating firmware
Resetting to factory settings
At times there will be new firmware to update, fix, or change functionality of products. Atlona has
made this as easy as possible for updating on the job by simply downloading the firmware onto a PC.
Atlona understands that settings can be troublesome and at times its just easier to set things back to
factory settings. To make things easier a simple one step reset was created.
To reset the matrix, hold down the buttons 1 and 4 while powering on. If done correctly the matrix
will be back to factory settings when it turns on.
Needs:
• Verify the current firmware version
• PC (not compatible with MACs)
• OS that supports USB mass storage devices
• USB A to USB B cable (i.e. AT11008)
Preparing the Matrix:
• Unplug the power cable.
• Hold the Cancel button while replugging in the power.
• Connect the USB B to USB A cable into the Matrix and the Computer.
Updating the Matrix:
The computer should auto detect the connection, if it does not, open the USB device from my computer.
• Click open in a new folder. (if auto run detects connection)
• Delete the file in the folder. (there should be only one file, if more delete all files)
• Copy and Paste the new firmware file into the USB folder.
• Unhook the Matrix from the computer.
• Unplug the power cable from the AT-PRO2HD1616M
• Replug the power and start the matrix normally. Your update should be complete
If you wish to verify the new firmware, press function then button 16 and it will display on the OSD.
