Atlona 8-Button Network Control Panel - AT-ANC-108D

Product Overview

The Atlona AT-ANC-108D is an 8-button network control panel designed for use with Atlona IP-based single-output AV switchers in commercial meeting spaces and classrooms. It delivers input switching, display power control, and volume adjustment over a single category cable, drawing power via IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet so no local power outlet is required. Configurable through either the embedded web server or Atlona Velocity Device Manager software, the AT-ANC-108D is a cost-effective solution for AV system control panel integration that eliminates complex control system programming. Note: the AT-ANC-108D has been discontinued; the recommended replacement products are the AT-VKP-8E (North America) and AT-VKP-8E-EU (Europe).

Product Description

The Atlona AT-ANC-108D is an 8-button PoE-powered network control panel intended for use with Atlona IP-controllable single-output AV switchers in huddle rooms, conference rooms, university classrooms, and corporate training facilities. Even when AV switchers offer automatic input detection and display control, end users in meeting environments typically require a physical, tactile control point for selecting sources, adjusting audio levels, and managing display power. The AT-ANC-108D provides that interface through eight soft-touch backlit buttons with installer-customizable pre-cut label sheets, giving each deployment a professional, purpose-labeled appearance. A single category cable carrying both data and PoE power connects the panel to the network switch, dramatically reducing installation labor and eliminating the need for a separate power run. Configuration is performed by uploading a downloadable template file from within Atlona Velocity Device Manager — a free network software platform — or by directly accessing the panel's embedded web server from any browser. Compatible switcher families include the OMEGA Series, HDVS-200 Series, HDVS-300 Kit, SW Series, AT-UHD-CLSO-601, and AT-UHD-CLSO-612ED. Once configured, the AT-ANC-108D transmits IP commands to the switcher over the local network; the switcher in turn executes those commands directly or translates them into RS-232 commands for display control. The panel fits a standard US one-gang junction box and ships with a white wallplate. An optional external 5V/4A power supply (AT-PS-54-C) is available for installations where PoE is not available. For deployments requiring consistent, uniform control interfaces across multiple rooms within a facility, the AT-ANC-108D provides the same button layout and configuration workflow regardless of which compatible Atlona switcher is installed in each space.

Key Features

• 8-Button Network Control Panel for Atlona IP-Based Switchers — Provides local control of input selection, display power, and volume for compatible Atlona single-output AV switchers including the OMEGA, HDVS-200, SW, and CLSO Series.
• PoE-Powered Single-Cable Installation — IEEE 802.3af PoE Class 3 allows both control and power over a single category cable from a PoE network switch, reducing installation time and cost.
• Configurable via Velocity Device Manager or Embedded Web Server — Free downloadable configuration templates and Velocity Device Manager eliminate the need for custom control system programming.
• Eight Soft-Touch Backlit Buttons — Well-illuminated panel provides an immediately familiar control interface; backlit buttons remain visible in low-light environments.
• Installer-Customizable Label Sheets — Pre-cut label sheets allow printed, tamper-resistant function labels to be placed under a protective cover, providing clear and durable identification for each button.
• US One-Gang Junction Box Form Factor — Compact, shallow-depth housing fits standard wall boxes and specialty access enclosures in tables and cabinetry.
• Consistent Multi-Room Control Interface — The same panel layout and configuration workflow applies across all compatible Atlona switchers, enabling a uniform end-user experience throughout a facility.
• Optional Local Power Supply — AT-PS-54-C (5V/4A) available for installations where PoE is not present on the network switch.

Typical Applications

• Corporate conference rooms and boardrooms with Atlona IP-based single-output AV switchers
• University and K–12 classrooms requiring simple, user-operated AV source selection and display control
• Huddle rooms where economical, code-free control is required alongside automatic switching
• Corporate training facilities demanding consistent control interfaces across multiple standardized rooms
• Government and public-sector meeting spaces needing straightforward AV control without dedicated control systems
• Installations requiring wall-mounted or table-access enclosure control panels

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What AV functions can the AT-ANC-108D control?

The AT-ANC-108D can control input source switching, display power on/off, and audio volume adjustment on compatible Atlona IP-based single-output AV switchers. Each of the eight buttons is programmed via configuration templates to execute specific IP commands to the switcher.

Q: Does the AT-ANC-108D require a separate power supply?

No. The panel is powered via IEEE 802.3af PoE (Class 3) from any PoE-capable network switch, so power and control data both travel over a single category cable. An optional external 5V/4A supply (AT-PS-54-C) is available when PoE is not present.

Q: What software is needed to configure the AT-ANC-108D?

Configuration can be done using Atlona Velocity Device Manager, a free network software platform, by downloading and uploading pre-built configuration template files. Alternatively, the panel's built-in web server can be accessed directly from any browser for manual configuration without additional software.

Q: Which Atlona switchers are compatible with the AT-ANC-108D?

Compatible products include the AT-OMEGA Series, AT-HDVS-200 Series, AT-HDVS-300 Kit, AT-SW Series, AT-UHD-CLSO-601, AT-UHD-CLSO-612ED, AT-UHD-SW-510W, AT-UHD-SW-52 Series, AT-UHD-SW-5000ED, AT-OME-MS42, AT-OME-ST31A, AT-OME-SW32, and AT-HD-SC-500.

Q: Is the AT-ANC-108D still in production?

No. The AT-ANC-108D has been discontinued by Atlona. The recommended replacement products are the AT-VKP-8E for North American installations and the AT-VKP-8E-EU for European installations. Contact Creation Networks for availability and upgrade guidance.

Q: Can the AT-ANC-108D control displays directly?

The panel sends IP commands to the compatible Atlona switcher, which can then translate those commands into RS-232 control signals sent to displays or other devices, effectively enabling display power control through the switcher as an intermediary.

Q: Where is the AT-ANC-108D available?

The AT-ANC-108D is available from Creation Networks at creationnetworks.net, an authorized Atlona reseller for commercial AV installations.
