Optional
1. Connect an HDMI cable from a source to the HDMI IN port.
2. Connect an HDMI cable from the HDMI OUT port to a local display.
3. Connect up to two Ethernet cables from the HDBaseT OUT ports to compatible PoE-
capable receivers. Refer to the table below for information on maximum cable length and
supported resolutions.
IMPORTANT: Stranded or patch cable is not recommended due to per-
formance issues. Sheilded cables are strongly recommended to minimize
signal noise and interference.

6. Connect an RS-232 or IR cable from the control system to the RS-232/IR ports. Refer to
the AT-HDR-CAT-2 User Manual for more information.
• MASTER RS-232/IR
Connecting to this port will provide direct control of the AT-HDR-CAT-2. Control can be
performed using either RS-232 or electrical IR.
• RS-232/IR 1 and RS-232/IR 2
Each of these ports is associated to the respective HDBaseT OUT port. This allows
RS-232 pass-through zone control of a display (sink) device that is connected to a
PoE-compatible receiver. Control can be performed using RS-232 or electrical IR.
7. Connect an audio output device to the AUDIO OUT port. Refer to the AT-HDR-CAT-2 User
Manual for more information.

Installation Guide
AT-HDR-CAT-2
The AT-HDR-CAT-2 is shipped with DHCP enabled. Once connected to a network, the DHCP
server (if available), will automatically assign an IP address to the unit. If the AT-HDR-CAT-2
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/16. If this occurs, refer to the AT-HDR-CAT-2
User Manual for more information.
Use an IP scanner, along with the MAC address on the bottom of the unit, to identify the unit on
the network. If a static IP address is desired, the unit can be switched to static IP mode.
IP Conguration
Switching the IP mode using the Front Panel
1. Make sure the AT-HDR-CAT-2 is powered.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable between the LAN port of the AT-HDR-CAT-2 and the Local Area
Network (LAN).
3. Press and hold the POWER button for approximately 15 seconds. Release the POWER
button once all the front-panel LED indicators begin to ash. The number of ashes will
indicate the currently selected IP mode. Refer to the table, below.
