4 – Initial Device Setup 

*Note:

 Once the wall plate is installed in the wall, the USB port used for configuration will not be accessible. It is therefore 

recommended setup be completed before installing the wall plate into the wall. 

 
The unBT2A features software configuration and status monitoring of the following device parameters using Attero Tech's 

unIFY Control Panel software (V2.1 or later): 

o

 

Bluetooth® friendly name (Default: unBT2A) 

o

 

Mono/Stereo output selection 

o

 

Analog output sensitivity 

o

 

Pairing button control 

o

 

unBT2A status 

o

 

Remote pairing activation/deactivation 

o

 

Clear pairing list 

 
To access these parameters, first install and unIFY Control Panel onto a Windows PC then connect the unBT2A via the 

mini-USB connection on the unit to allow proper detection. The unIFY Control Panel software comes with the necessary 
drivers required by the operating system for compatibility with the unBT2A. Once the unIFY Control Panel application is 

open, select the “unBT2A Configuration” menu item from the “Tools” menu. Then use the drop down to select the COM 
port the BT2A is using and click the “Connect” button. 

 

*Note: 

Power supplied via the USB connection is enough to power the unBT2A for initial configuration. While the device 

will operate normally including allowing pairing, the audio outputs of the unBT2A will not operate while it is powered only 

via USB. If it is necessary to test the audio output while connected to the USB, connect the unBT2A-EXP and the use the 
supplied wall wart in order to fully power the device. 

 
For a complete description of the software features, refer to the BT2A section of the 

unIFY Control Panel user manual

. 

 
 

4.1 – Factory Reset 

The unBT2A has a factory reset option. Using it will reset all the devices parameters back to 

their factory defaults. The devices IP address mode is also reset back to getting a dynamic IP. 
 

Access to the factory reset button is through a small circular hole on the side of the unit. 
 

To use the factory reset, be sure the unit is powered up and  insert a small screwdriver or 
paperclip into the hole to activate the factory reset switch. There should be a noticeable “click” 

when it’s activated. Hold the switch in for 5 to 10 seconds and release the switch. If the factory 
reset was successful, the left hand LED will briefly glow red and then change to green.  If not, 

the reset switch was not held in long enough. 
 

 
 

 
 

 
 
 

 
 

 
 

 

 

4.2 – Firmware Updates 

The unBT2A does support field firmware updates. Any new firmware will be made available on the Attero Tech Support 

Desk web portal. Unlike our other updatable products, the firmware file for a BT2A is provided as a .bin file. This file can 
then applied by connecting the BT2A to a PC and using the “Update Firmware” feature on the BT2A plug-in within unify 

Control Panel. 
 

*Note:

 Only the wall plate contains firmware and it must be connected to a PC via its USB interface to apply any update. 

This will necessitate removing it from the wall to access it.
