Installation
Refer to the following steps and diagram to set up your 4-port presentation
switch installation.
Installation Instructions for B320-4X1-HH-K1 &
B320-4X1-HH-K2
Notes:
1. Test to ensure the entire installation works properly before pulling
cables through ceilings/walls.
2. To achieve maximum distance and performance, use 24 AWG solid-
wire Cat6 cables. Using stranded-wire Cat6 cable or cable with a gauge
(AWG) size higher than 24 AWG will result in shorter extension distance.
Higher-gauge cabling, such as 26 AWG, has more limited transmission
capability than lower-gauge cabling. All Tripp Lite N202-Series Cat6
cables are made with 24 AWG solid-wire cabling.
3. External power is not required for remote receiver units, due to PoC
technology incorporated in the transmitter units.

Installation
1. Make sure all equipment in the installation is powered off.
2. Connect the HDMI source to INPUT 1 on the presentation switch with a
user-supplied HDMI cable.
3. Repeat Step 2 for INPUT ports 2, 3 and 4.
4. Connect the RJ45 port on the presentation switch to the RJ45 port on
the remote receiver with a user-supplied Cat6 cable. Note: Maximum
transmission distance via Cat6 cabling for the B320-4X1-HH-K1 and
B320-4X1-HH-K2 is 50 ft. and 125 ft., respectively.
5. Connect the remote receiver’s HDMI port to a display with a user-
supplied HDMI cable.
6. (Optional) If the B320-4X1-Series switch is not in line of sight, connect the
included IR receiver cable to the IR-IN port for more reliable IR reception.
7. (Optional) If you wish to control the B320-4X1-Series switch from your
computer, connect a user-supplied DB9 cable to the RS-232 port. See
RS-232 Commands for more information.
8. Turn on the power to all connected devices in the installation. Then,
connect the included external power supply to the switch transmitter unit.
9. The Power LED will illuminate green, indicating the unit is receiving
sufficient power, and Input LEDs will illuminate orange, indicating a
signal is being received from the sources.
