1. Make sure all devices being connected are turned o.
2. Optional: Connect the 3.5 mm to DB9 adapter to the RS-232 serial
port on the switch, then to the DB9 serial port on the computer you
will be using to control it.
Optional (B119-4X4 only): Connect a Phoenix connector to the
switch’s RS-232 serial port, which you will use to control the switch.
3. Optional (B119-4X4 only): Connect the included IR extension cable
to the unit’s 3.5 mm IR jack. Position the cable’s infrared sensor in
an area that allows a direct line of sight between the sensor and the
remote.

Standard Installation
6. Connect the external power supply to the switch and plug it into a
Surge Protector, 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.
7.
Connect the rst HDMI display to the port on the switch marked
Output 1.
Note: The 24 AWG HDMI cable connecting the switch to a display must be no
longer than 25 ft.
8. Repeat step 7 to connect additional displays to the remaining ports.
9. Turn on the power to the connected devices. The video image
should now be displayed on the connected monitors.
10. Press the switch next to each set of Output LEDs to switch the source
being displayed on the corresponding Output monitor. You can
also use the included remote control to switch between sources.
As with the switch next to the Output LEDs, press the button on the
remote control of the desired Output port to switch the source being
displayed.
Note: The same four-button remote control is included with both the B119-2X2
and B119-4X4. Buttons 3 and 4 will not be used for the B119-2X2.
See the RS-232 Serial Control section in this manual for details on
controlling the switch using Terminal Emulation Software.

2. Select the COM port that is being used, and update the remaining
settings as follows: Baud Rate (57600 or 9600), Data (8 bit), Parity
(none), Stop (1 bit), Flow Control (none).
Note: The baud rate in the below image lists 57600; if 57600 does not work, this
value should be changed to 9600.

5. 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 B would display source B on output 1.
PWD Turns power to the switch on/o.
STE Displays the current output state, showing which source
is being displayed on each output.

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. Wasthepowertotheconnecteddevicesturnedopriorto
installation? If not, restart them.
3. 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 P568-Series High-Speed HDMI cables,
as they have been tested to work with the B119-Series Matrix Switch
products.
5. 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 B would display source B on output 1.
PWD Turns power to the switch on/o.
STE Displays the current output state, showing which source
is being displayed on each output.

Troubleshooting
4. 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.
5. Is the switch located in an area that exposes it to higher
temperatures? If the product is overheated, it will not function
properly.
6. 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 24 AWG HDMI cable connecting the switch to a display must be
no longer than 25 ft. in length.
7. 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 rst; otherwise the switch will
not be recognized.
8. 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.
