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-equiped devices through Power over Ethernet (PoE).

Troubleshooting
Problem Solution
The AT-OME-TX21-WP-E
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? • Press the INPUT button to manually switch between
sources.
• The input can be switched using the webGUI, TCP/IP, or
RS-232. View the user manual or API for instructions and
commands.
The AT-OME-TX21-WP-E
is not powering.
• The AT-OME-TX21-WP-E 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 PoE compatible and is connected to the
HDBaseT OUT port using an Ethernet cable. Both the
PWR and LINK LEDs 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 used as an input and does not supply
the required amount of voltage for charging USB-C
devices.
