Installation Guide
AT-OME-EX-RX
The AT-OME-EX-RX provides pass-through transport of RS-232 protocol and/or IR over
HDBaseT, which allows communication between a control system and an RS-232 or IR device.
This step is optional.
1. Use wire strippers to remove a portion of the cable jacket.
2. Remove at least 3/16” (5 mm) from the insulation of the RX, TX, and GND wires for the
RS-232 connection.
3. Insert the TX, RX, and GND wires into correct terminal using one of the included 4-pin
captive screw connectors.
4. Repeat step 2 for the S and GND wires for the IR connection.
5. Insert the S (signal) wire in to the TX terminal and the ground wire to the GND terminal.
6. Tighten the captive screws to secure the wires in place. Do not over-tighten or use
high-torque devices to prevent damage to the connector block.
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. Note that the
signal (S) pin for the IR is labeled as “TX” on the port.
