Page 4: Mounting
The B126-2X2 and B126-4X4 come with mounting hardware that allows them to be mounted in a variety of ways. The following images show the different ways the included mounting brackets can be attached for different mounting methods. Note: The images below show a B126-1A1 HDMI over Cat5 Receiver Unit, but the mounting hardware installation is the same for the B126-2X2 and B126-4X4.

2. 24AWG, Solid Wire Cat5e/6 cable, such as Tripp Lite’s N202-Series, is required to achieve maximum distance and resolution. 3. The diagram below shows a B126-2X2 installation, but installation will be the same for the B126-4X4, except for the number of ports. - Page 8 Remote Repeater Installation Connect the external power supply to the switch and plug it into a Tripp Lite Surge Suppressor, PDU, or UPS. When receiving power, the following LEDs will illuminate: The Green Power LED, the Orange Source LEDs (for the Source ports that have devices connected to them), and the Green RJ45 Output LEDs. A Green LED will also illuminate to indicate the source that is being transmitted to each Output port. Using Cat5e/6 cable, connect the RJ45 port marked Output 1 to the RJ45 input port of a B126-110 remote repeater unit. Connect a monitor to the HDMI output port on the repeater using a Tripp Lite P568-Series High-Speed HDMI cable. Connect the external power supply to the repeater and plug it into a Tripp Lite Surge Suppressor, PDU or UPS. The Green Power LED and the Green RJ45 LEDs illuminate to indicate the unit is receiving power. Add up to three repeaters per channel, for a total of 4 displays (an active remote receiver should be the last unit in a channel). To connect additional repeaters, proceed to step 9. To finish your installation with a B126-1A0 or B126-1A0-WP-1 receiver, proceed to step 12.

Page 10: Rs232 Serial Control
RS232 Serial Control Before using RS232 Serial Control, you must first go into you Terminal Emulation Software and update the COM port settings. Go to the Setup drop-down menu and select the Serial Port option. Select the COM port that is being used, and update the remaining settings as follows: Baud Rate (57600), Data (8 bit), Parity (none), Stop (1 bit), Flow Control (none). 13-11-140 93-32BB.indd 10 11/19/2013 4:57:42 PM... - Page 11 RS232 Serial Control Next, you will need to configure your software to allow input control. Go to the Setup drop-down menu and select the Terminal option. Update the following settings; Receive (LF), Local Echo (enable). The remaining settings can stay as they are. 13-11-140 93-32BB.indd 11 11/19/2013 4:57:42 PM...
- Page 12 RS232 Serial Control Once these settings are updated, the Terminal Emulation Software will recognize the switch, allowing you to enter commands to control it with. The following table lists the available commands. Command Action sw[x] [n] Switches the source being displayed on the selected output. [x] is the output (1, 2, 3, or 4) and [n] is the desired source (A, B, C, or D). For example, a command of sw1 A would display source A on output 1. Turns power to the switch on/off. Displays the current output state, showing which source is being displayed on each output. 13-11-140 93-32BB.indd 12 11/19/2013 4:57:42 PM...

Page 13: Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting If you are unable to get an acceptable image after following the installation instructions, try the troubleshooting tips below. Are the external power supplies that came with the product connected and plugged into a working power source? For the product to function properly, it must be connected to and receiving power from the external power supply. Was the power to the connected devices turned off prior to installation? If not, restart them. Have you adjusted the Equalization setting on the repeater and/or receiver units? There are built-in Equalization adjustment knobs on every repeater and active receiver, which can be adjusted to obtain the best picture quality. Use the mini screwdriver included with the product to adjust this setting until an acceptable image is displayed. Note: An improper Equalization setting can cause the monitor not to display an image at all. Try each setting until an acceptable image is displayed. What resolution are you trying to reach? Tripp Lite’s HDMI over Cat5 extenders are tested to support up to 1080p @ 60Hz video resolution. - Page 14 Troubleshooting Test your cables to ensure they are working properly. For example, connect your HDMI cables between a source and monitor that you know works to see if the cable is functioning. For Cat5e/6 cable, connect it between a computer and a network to verify that it establishes a network connection. Do you have any patch panels or other devices in between the transmitter, repeater, and receiver units? Tripp Lite’s HDMI over Cat5 extender products were designed to be connected directly from the transmitter to the repeater and/or receiver via UTP cable. The more connection points that are in between the source and the remote monitor, the more likely it will be that signal degradation will occur, causing poor performance. If you have a patch panel or other device in between, it should be removed from the installation. Check your cabling for any damages that may have occurred during installation. If a cable connector is loosened from pulling through ceilings/walls, or the cable jacket is damaged causing the wiring to be exposed, you will not be able to achieve maximum performance. Are the transmitter, repeater, and/or receiver located in an area that exposes them to higher temperatures? If the product is overheated, it will not function properly. If you are having trouble getting your Terminal Emulation Software to recognize the switch, you may need to shut down your installation and start from the beginning. The 3.5 mm to DB9 adapter cable must be connected first; otherwise the switch will not be recognized. If your are still having trouble getting your Terminal Emulation Software to recognize the switch, check to make sure that your serial settings are set according to the instructions in the RS232 Serial Control section of this manual.
