Mounting  
The B119-2X2 and B119-4X4 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.

B119-4X4, except for the number of ports.  
2. The back panel of the B119-4X4 contains an IR port which has been capped off. This port is  
intended for future use, and does not currently function.

Connect the external power supply to the switch and plug it into  
a Tripp Lite Surge Suppressor, Power Distribution Unit (PDU), or  
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). When receiving power, the  
following LEDs will illuminate: The Green Power LED and Orange  
Source LEDs (for the Source ports that have devices connected to  
them). A Green LED will also illuminate to indicate the source that is  
being transmitted to each Output port.

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 2 would display source 2 on output 1.

Troubleshooting  
If you are unable to get an acceptable image after following the  
installation instructions, try the troubleshooting tips below.  
1
Is the external power supply 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.  
2
3
Was the power to the connected devices turned off prior to  
installation? If not, restart them.  
What type of cabling are you using? Inferior cabling can result in poor  
performance, so it is important that you use cables that can support  
the video resolution you are trying to obtain. It is recommended  
that you use Tripp Lite’s P568-Series High-Speed HDMI cables, as  
they have been tested to work with the B119-Series Matrix Switch  
products.  
4
5
6
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.  
Is the switch located in an area that exposes it to higher  
temperatures? If the product is overheated, it will not function  
properly.  
What length HDMI cable are you using? The cable connecting a HDMI  
source to the switch must be no longer than 16 ft. in length. The  
cable connecting the switch to a display must be no longer than  
25 ft. in length.

8
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 you 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 RS-232 Serial Control  
section of this manual.
