Definitions
Auto-sensing –the automatic detection of a device plugged into an audio/video port
of the MediaHub. For example, MediaHub will auto-sense a Composite AV source
when a device is connected to the 3RCA ports and begin playing the Composite AV
Out content. When a laptop is plugged into the PC socket, MediaHub will detect a PC
Video source and begin to play the laptop video.
Auto-switching –the automatic switching of the TV input away from regular
tuner mode (TV Mode) to MediaHub content (MediaHub Mode or Auxiliary).
Control Cable –MediaHub SL+uses an Auto-Sensing Module (ASM) to pass through
a serial or game control protocol through a control cable connection, implementing
the TV auto-switching feature. Most hospitality TVs support serial or game control
protocolsthrough the following ports:
RS232 Serial Port (DB9)
Serial Control Jack (3.5mm)
Ex-Link Serial Control Jack (3.5mm)
RJP (RJ45 LG Remote Jack Pack)
GAME/DATA (RJ12 on TV or STB)
DIP Switches –The installation kit for Me diaHu b SL+contains AV cabling as well a s
an Auto-Switching Module (ASM) and control cables. The ASM has four DIP Switches
loc ate d in the center of the unit. These switches must be configured accordingly to
allow appropriate communication between MediaHub and TV/STB. See the Installation
Instructions section.

Electrical Requirements
A 110/240-volt, 50/60Hz electrical supply is required for the TA-8830. The ASM
requires a 5-volt power source, which can be achieved through the USB port on most
hospitality TVs.
Care and Maintenance
Though TeleAdapt MediaHubs are designed for durability, they still remain complex
electronic devices. As such, care needs to be taken with how they are handled. The
following are tips to care for your system:
If the MediaHub has visible smudges, fingerprints, or other foreign material, you
can clean it by using a soft clean cloth such as a lens or eyeglass cleaning
cloth.
Slightly dampen a corner of the cloth with water and wipe off the unit housing to
loosen any dirt or foreign material. Using a dry portion of the same cloth, wipe the
housing to dry.
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the
MediaHu b.
Your TeleAdapt MediaHub should never be positioned or installed anywhere
where it could get hit, dropped, or banged around.
Do not drop, knock, or shake the device. Rough handling can harm internal
operations.
Your MediaHub should be dry. Liquids or moisture can cause damage to internal
electronic circuits. If your unit gets wet, immediately remove power allowing the
unit to dry before re-applying power.
Do not store the MediaHub in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of
electronic components and warp or melt certain plastics.
Do not attempt to open the MediaHub gaining access to the internal
infrastructure. Please notify TeleAdapt service and support personnel regarding
return materials authorization policy.
