Introduction
The Atlona AT-ANC-108D is an 8-button network control panel for Atlona IP-based switchers. It is designed
for easy configuration using the free Atlona Management System (AMS) software resource. Only one
category cable needs to be connected to the AT-ANC-108D ensuring fast, hassle-free installation of control
signal and power. Configuration is also fast. Simply download a configuration file from within AMS for
Atlona single output switchers such as the HDVS Series, SW-5 Series, AT-UHD-CLSO-601, or AT-UHDCLSO-612ED. Combined with Atlona IP-controllable switching products for huddle spaces, classrooms and
conference rooms, the network control panel acts as a remote control to send IP commands to the switcher.
The switcher in turns acts on those commands or translates the IP commands into RS-232 commands to
control external devices such as displays to create a seamless AV system. The AT-ANC-108D fits into a US
1-gang junction box and is compatible with Decora-style wall plates.

Captive Screw
The captive screw connectors allow you to cut cables to a suitable length, reducing cable clutter
while providing a more reliable connection.
Connecting
When connecting the cables to the female captive screw connector it is important that the wires be
terminated correctly. The female captive screw connector has a contact plate at the top and must
have the wires touching it for signal to pass. When wired correctly (see picture A) the signal will pass,
incorrectly (see picture B) no signal will pass.

Mounting
The ANC-108D is a 1U wall plate. To install the unit, simply connect the Ethernet cable to the unit,
place the unit in the back box, and use the two wall plate screws to secure the unit to the box.
Ethernet
For convenience, the ANC-108D comes with DHCP on. This enables the switcher to be connected
to a network without knowing available IP addresses.
AMS
For simple and complete control, the ANC-108D is supported by the AMS. Follow the AMS
installation and discovery instructions found within the AMS manual.
