2. RS232
Atlona’s AT-COMP-64M can be controlled via the RS-232 serial control port to allow for interfacing to a
PC, or similar third party control system.
The serial communication parameters are 9600 baud, 8 bit, No Parity and 1 stop bit
When the unit recognizes a complete command it will perform the requested action - there is no delimiter
character required.
The unit does not send out a message when a value is changed from the front panel or by IR control. If the
unit needs to be controlled via the front panel in addition to the RS232 control, you should regularly poll
the unit status to ensure the control system accurately relate the current settings.
3. PROTOCOL COMMANDS
To Switch Inputs to Outputs
SBI0XO0Y - Where X is Output Number (1-4) and Y is Number (1-6)
Unit will respond with
SBUD0XOY - Where X is Output Number (1-4) and Y is Input Number (1-6)
Example : Send Input 6 to Output 4
SBUD06O4 – Send
SBI06O04 – Rcvd

RS-232 SERIAL COMMANDS
Note: Turning the unit System Power Off over RS232 will distinguish the LED display leaving only the Power
Switch LED on. The Video and Audio outputs will also mute. While the unit is turned off by RS232 it will
continue to accept and act upon switching commands. For example, if the unit is in the off mode
(via RS232) and you send a command to switch an input to an output, that route will complete and the
video and audio will now appear on that channel only. The front panel LED for that particular output will
also show the input selected (for that single output channel only). The remaining LED’s will remain off
and video and audio outputs muted. The unit will still return to its status and change messages in response
to the commands sent while in Power Off state. A hard reset command (SBALLRST) will return the unit to
normal operation and also unlock the front panel.
1. POWER OFF MODE
SBSYSMOF - Place system into Standby (Soft Power Off)
SBSYSMON - Bring unit out of Standby (Soft Power On)
Unit will respond with
SBALOFAK - Unit is in Standby
SBALONAK - Unit is no longer in Standby
Example : Put Unit in Standby (Soft Power)
SBSYSMOF - Send
SBALOFAK - Rcvd
2. FRONT PANEL LOCK
Note: Hard resetting the unit will unlock the Front Panel controls.
SBSYSMLK - When front panel is locked, changes can only be made by RS232
SBSYSMUK- Front Panel Unlock
Unit will respond with
SBSYSLOK - Front Panel has been Locked
SBSYSULK - Front Panel has been Unlocked
Example : Lock Front Panel Buttons
SBSYSMLK - Send
SBSYSLOK - Rcvd
3. UNIT RESET
SBALLRST - Reset every output to Input 1
Unit will respond with
SBRSTACK - Unit has reset each Output to Input 1
Example : Reset all outputs to Input 1
SBALLRST - Send
SBRSTACK - Rcvd
