Introduction
PF-MS82T is a presentation matrix switcher with 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 scaling
outputs. It has eight inputs and two outputs including three HDMI inputs, one
DisplayPort input, two VGA inputs with embedded stereo audio, two
HDBaseT inputs, one HDMI output and one HDBaseT output. The HDBaseT
inputs and output features IR pass-through, RS232 pass-through and PoE
(PSE). Any of the eight inputs can be routed to any of the two outputs
separately. HDMI output and HDBaseT output both have a built-in scaler
which can support up to 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 8bit, therefore PF-MS82T can
output image to any display equipment with the optimal resolution.
For audio, PF-MS82T has two MIC/LINE optional inputs which can be
configured individually by two DIP switches. PF-MS82T also features two
balanced stereo audio outputs which work as de-embedded outputs as
factory default, one for HDMI output and another for HDBaseT output. HDMI
OUT and HDBaseT OUT, AUDIO OUT1 and AUDIO OUT2 can be set
independently to output any mixed result of MIC/LINE IN 1&2 and
de-embedded Audio of HDMI OUT and HDBaseT through API commands
and Web UI.
For KVM, PF-MS82T has two USB-HOST ports on rear panel for HDMI input
1 and 2 as factory default. The two USB-HOST ports on rear panel can be
reconfigured to bind with other inputs (Except for HDBT in) through API
commands and Web GUI. There are two USB-DEVICE ports for HDMI output,
PF-MS82T can be controlled by Front panel buttons, Web GUI and API.

Wiring
WARNING: Before wiring, ensure all units are DISCONNECTED from power.
Otherwise, circuitry damage or physical injury may be caused.
Steps for device wiring:
1. Connect video source
Connect the VGA, DP and HDMI sources (such as PC, Blu-ray player,
Apple TV, 4K media player, etc) to the VGA IN, DP IN and HDMI IN ports.
2. Connect HDBT Transmitter
Connect HDBT transmitters to the HDBT (1&2) ports of the device with
Cat 5e/6/7 cables.
3. Connect MIC/48V/LINE IN
Slide the DIP switch to MIC/48V/LINE IN position, connect the
corresponding audio input device to the LINE IN ports.
*Warning*: Before the selector switch is set to position “48V”, ensure any
Line in device connected to “MIC/LINE IN” port has been removed;
otherwise, device damage may occur.
4. Connect HDMI OUT
Connect an HDMI display device (such as TV, projector, LED/LCD
display) to the HDMI OUT.

12
5. Connect HDBT Receiver
Connect HDBT OUT of the device to HDBT IN of an HDBT receiver
(such as PF-UHK100H-RX) with a Cat 5e/6/7 cable.
6. Connect AUDIO OUT
Connect an audio receiver (e.g. an amplifier) to the AUDIO OUT (1&2).
7. Connect for additional control options:
•LAN control (Telnet/Web UI): Connect a Local Area Network to the
LAN port.
•ETHERNET pass through: Connect an active Area Network/PC to the
ETHERNET port, connect a PC/Local Area Network to the Ethernet
port of HDBT transmitter or receiver connected with the switcher, the
PC can be connected to the Area Network.
•USB control: Connect USB host devices to the USB HOST 1 or 2 port,
Connect USB devices to USB DEVICE ports, by default, when HDMI
OUT port select HDMI IN 1 or 2 as the source input, the USB devices
can be connected to corresponding USB host devices.
Note: The two USB HOST ports can be configured to bind with other
inputs (Except for HDBT IN) through API commands and Web UI.
•RS232 Control: Connect a control PC to RS232 control port of the
device.
•RS232 pass-through: Connect a RS232 enabled device to RS232
port of the device for HDBT IN (1&2) or HDBT OUT, and connect a
RS232 enabled device to the connected transmitter or receiver for
bi-directional RS232 pass-through.
•IR pass-through: Connect an IR Emitter to IR OUT port of the device/
connected HDBT transmitter/connected HDBT receiver. Connect an
IR Receiver to IR IN port of the connected HDBT
transmitter/connected HDBT receiver/the device for bi-directional IR
pass-through.
8. Connect the AC power cord provided to the switcher.

13
One-way PoE enables the switcher to power the remote HDBT
transmitter/receiver along a single Cat X cable, and no additional power
adapter is required at the transmitter/receiver.
9. Power on all attached devices.
When all is set, check if all LED indicators on switcher are normal to ensure
installation is successful. For LED indication, please refer to Panel
Description section.

Front Panel Control
Basic switch of input sources to output displays can be achieved by using
front panel controls.
To select input source for output:
Power on PF-MS82T, now you can select input for each output.
Ta ke HDMI IN2 to HDMI OUT as an example
1. Press HDMI IN2 input selection button, the LED on the top of this
selection button will blink.
Press the input selection button,
the LED will blink
2. Press HDMI OUT selection button within 3s after pressing the input
button, the LED on the top of this button will be lit on, and the LED on
the input selection button will stop blink. Select HDMI IN2 source to
HDMI OUT successfully.
LED stops blinking Press the output selection button,
the LED will be lit on
Note:
•If you don’t press the output button within 3s after pressing the input button,
the input LED will stop blinking, and the selection is invalid.
•The operation selecting other inputs to any output is the same as above
steps.

15
RS232 Control
Advanced users may also choose to control the device through RS232 serial
communication. API command for RS232 control is available in the separate
document “API Command Set_ PF-MS82T”.
A professional RS232 serial interface software (e.g. Serial Assist) may be
needed as well.
Before executing the API command through RS232 serial connection, please
ensure RS232 interface of the device and the control PC are configured
correctly.
Parameters Value
Baud Rate 57600 bps
Data Bits 8 bits
Parity None
Stop Bits 1 bit
Flow Control None

16
Telnet Control
Advanced users may need to control the switcher through Telnet. The Telnet
connection can be started from the Windows taskbar (see below) or a
professional Telnet client software (e.g. NetAssist). By default, the Telnet port
(port 23) does not require login credentials.
To establish a connection via Telnet at the CMD prompt:
1. Connect the ETHERNET(LAN) port of the PF-MS82T to your PC using a
straight UTP cable. Set your PC to the same network segment as the
switcher.
2. From your computer’s Windows Taskbar, select Start > Run to open the
Run dialog box.
3. Type “cmd” in the Open field.
4. Click OK to open an instance of the Windows command interpreter
(cmd.exe).
5. At the prompt (>), type “telnet” followed by a space and the switcher’s IP
address.
Example:
>telnet 192.168.20.235
A Telnet session opens for the switcher.

17
At the prompt, type the Telnet command and press Enter.
Te l n et command is available in another separate document.
If you are using Windows 7 and receive an error message, you may need to
enable Telnet by completing the following: (1) go to Start/Control
Panel/Programs and Features, (2) on the left, select “Turn Windows features
on or off”, (3) select the check-boxes Telnet Client and Telnet Server, and (4)
click OK.

18
