Two-Input Wallplate Switcher for HDMI and USB-C with
Ethernet-Enabled HDBaseT Output
AT-HDVS-210U-TX-WP
The Atlona AT-HDVS-210U-TX-WP is a 2x1 switcher and HDBaseT transmitter with HDMI
and USB-C inputs. It features a US one-gang, Decora-style wallplate form factor, and includes
interchangeable black and white wallplates and faceplates. The USB-C input is ideal for AV
interfacing with newer Mac®, Chromebook™, and Windows® PCs, as well as smartphones and
tablets. Video signals up to 4K/UHD @ 60 Hz with 4:2:0 chroma subsampling, plus embedded
audio, control, and Ethernet can be transmitted up to 330 feet (100 meters). The HDVS-210U-TX-
WP is HDCP 2.2 compliant. It is designed for use with the AT-UHD-EX-100CE-RX-PSE receiver,
but can also be used with the AT-HDVS-200-RX receiver and HD scaler, as well as Atlona
switchers and matrix switchers with HDBaseT inputs. This transmitter can serve as an integral
component of a fully automated AV system, with the convenience of automatic input selection
and display control. It is remotely powered by the UHD-EX-100CE-RX-PSE or other Atlona
HDBaseT-equipped devices through Power over Ethernet (PoE).

Installation Guide
AT-HDVS-210U-TX-WP
The AT-HDVS-210U-TX-WP provides an RS-232 port which allows communication between an
automation system and an RS-232 device. This step is optional.
1. Remove the small plate covering the RS-232 port on the faceplate.
2. Use wire strippers to remove a portion of the RS-232 cable jacket.
3. Remove at least 3/16” (5 mm) from the insulation of the RX, TX, and GND wires.
4. Insert the TX, RX, and GND wires into correct terminal using the included 3-pin captive
screw connector.
NOTE: Typical DB9 connectors use pin 2 for TX, pin 3 for RX, and pin 5 for
ground. On some devices functions of pins 2 and 3 are reversed.

Installation Guide
AT-HDVS-210U-TX-WP
By default, the AT-HDVS-210U-TX-WP is set to DHCP mode, allowing a DHCP server (if present)
to assign the unit an IP address. If a DHCP server is not found within 15 seconds, the unit will be
placed in Auto IP mode and use a self-assigned IP address within the range of 169.254.xxx.xxx.
If a static IP address is desired, the IP address of 192.168.1.254 is used by default.
IP Conguration
Switching the IP mode
Switching the IP mode requires that the faceplate be removed. Refer to Faceplate Removal and
Assembly, for more information.
1. Make sure the AT-HDVS-210U-TX-WP is powered, by connecting it to a PoE-compatible
receiver, such as the AT-HDVS-200-RX. Power is supplied by the receiver over HDBaseT.
2. Remove the faceplate.
3. Press and hold the Reset button for approximately 15 seconds. Release the Reset button
once the PWR LED indicator begins to ash. The number of ashes will indicate the
currently selected IP mode.

4. Once the desired IP mode has been selected, use an IP scanner to locate the AT-HDVS-
210U-TX-WP on the network. Use the MAC address, located on the back of the unit, to
identify the unit within the IP scanner.

Installation Guide
AT-HDVS-210U-TX-WP
Resetting to Factory-Default Settings
Resetting the AT-HDVS-210U-TX-WP requires that the front faceplate be removed. Before
removing the faceplate, the AT-HDVS-210U-TX-WP must be disassembled from the electrical box
or mud ring. A small Phillips-head screwdriver is required to remove the faceplate.
1. Remove the faceplate from the AT-HDVS-210U-TX-WP. Refer to the section Faceplate
Removal and Assembly for more information.
2. Press and release the Reset button.
3. Reassemble the faceplate to the front of the AT-HDVS-210U-TX-WP and reinstall into the
electrical box or mud ring.
Auto IP mode
If the AT-HDVS-210U-TX-WP is unable to detect a DHCP server within 15 seconds, then the unit
will use a self-assigned IP address within the range of 169.254.xxx.xxx. If this occurs, connect
the AT-HDVS-210U-TX-WP to a computer running Microsoft Windows® and follow the procedure
below.
1. Click Start > Settings > Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center.
2. Click Change adapter settings.
3. Right-click on the adapter that is used to establish a wired connection to the network, and
select Properties from the context menu.
4. Under the Ethernet Properties dialog box, select Internet Protocol Version 4 and then
click the Properties button.
5. Click the Use the following IP address radio button.
6. Enter the desired static IP address or the IP address provided by the network administrator.
If the PC does not require Internet access or if a statically-assigned IP address is being
used, then an IP address of 169.254.xxx.xxx can be entered.
7. Set the subnet mask to 255.255.0.0.
8. Click the OK button then close all Control Panel windows.
IMPORTANT: Before continuing, write down the current IP settings in order to
restore them, later. If Obtain an IP address automatically and Obtain DNS
server automatically are selected, then this step is not required.

Troubleshooting
Problem Solution
The AT-HDVS-210U-TX-
WP is not detecting the
source device.
• If an adapter is being used, then try a dierent one.
• Check the cable for possible damage or loose
connections.
How do I switch inputs? • The AT-HDVS-210U-TX-WP uses automatic input
selection, which is based upon the most-recent device
that is connected. Manual switching can be performed
by disconnecting the device you have most recently
connected, or by disconnecting and re-connecting the
previous input.
The AT-HDVS-210U-TX-
WP is not powering.
• The AT-HDVS-210U-TX-WP receives power from the
receiver through HDBaseT. Make sure that the receiver
(such as the AT-HDVS-200-RX or the AT-UHD-EX-100CE-
RX-PSE) is connected to the HDBaseT OUT port, using
an Ethernet cable. Both the PWR and LINK will be
illuminated on the front of the AT-HDVS-210U-TX-WP
when operating correctly.
• Check the Ethernet cable for possible damage or loose
connections.
The USB-C port is not
charging the connected
USB-C device.
• The USB-C port is an input and does not supply the
required amount of voltage for charging USB-C devices.
