8-Button Network Control Panel

The Atlona AT-ANC-108D is an 8-button network control panel for Atlona IP-based single output channel switchers. It is designed for easy configuration using the free Atlona Management System (AMS) software resource. The ANC-108D only requires a single category cable, from a PoE-equipped network switch, to deliver both control signal and power, and provide fast, hassle-free installation. Configuration is also fast. Simply download a configuration file from within AMS for Atlona single output switchers such as the HDVS-200 Series, HDVS-300 Kit, SW Series, AT-UHD-CLSO-601, or AT-UHD-CLSO-612ED.

Even with automatic input switching and display control on many of our AV switchers, presenters still want a visual means of changing inputs, operating displays and adjusting volume. The ANC-108D backlit panel provides a user-friendly means of controlling the AV in a meeting room or classroom. System designers need an inexpensive point of control to meet those needs without worrying about complex control system coding. The ANC-108D, working with AMS, meets both of these demands. Regardless of the Atlona IP-based switcher designed into the meeting space or classroom, with the ANC-108D the AV operator will always have a consistent control interface from room to room.

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 ANC-108D fits into a US one-gang junction box and is compatible with Decora-style wallplates.

Applications

• Meeting spaces and classrooms with Atlona IP-based, single output channel switchers.
  (See these featured applications as examples: small conference room, larger conference room, university classroom, and corporate training facility.)
• Locations where one type user interface among many rooms is required
• System designs where speed of installation, ease of use, and economical control is required.
  (See this featured application as an example.)

Configured and Managed by AMS

The Atlona Management System (AMS) is a powerful network software platform ideal for configuring, managing, and monitoring the ANC-108D and other Atlona IP-controllable devices over a LAN, WAN, or VPN. AMS is available free from Atlona, and greatly streamlines installation and maintenance of several Atlona products throughout a facility or enterprise, from a standard web browser.
