Point-to-Point Installation
Notes:
Test to ensure the entire installation works properly before pulling cables through
ceilings/walls.
To achieve maximum distance and performance, use 24 AWG solid wire Cat5e/6
cable. Using stranded wire cable or cable with a gauge (AWG) size higher than
recommended will result in a shorter extension distance. Higher gauge cabling
(such as 26 AWG) has a limited transmission capability compared to lower-gauge
cabling. All Tripp Lite N202-Series Cat6 cables use 24 AWG solid wire cabling.
Extended lengths of 23 AWG solid wire Cat6a cable are available from Tripp Lite
as a custom order.
Transmitter and receiver kits are available in DisplayPort, HDMI and VGA, but
separate transmitters and receivers can be purchased in any combination (e.g.
Component Video to HDMI, VGA to HDMI, HDMI to VGA, HDMI to DisplayPort).

always be the first number in the VLAN, followed by the port numbers
(separated by commas) of all receiver units that will be transmitting
audio/video to and from the selected transmitter. The screenshot below
shows VLAN’s for four transmitters (VLAN0002 through VLAN0005).
VLAN0002 represents the transmitter connected to port 1, the audio/
video of which is transmitted to the receivers connected to ports 7 and
8. Similarly, VLAN0003 represents the transmitter connected to port 2,
whose audio/video is transmitted to receivers connected to ports 9 and
10.
4. To switch the source of the audio/video on a receiver, go to and edit the
VLAN of the associated transmitters to add/remove the desired ports.
5. As more transmitters and receivers get added to the installation,
simply add additional VLANs for the new transmitters and add the new
receivers to the VLANs of the desired transmitters.

16. Connect the external power supplies to all transmitter and receiver
units in the installation, then plug the external power supplies into
Tripp Lite Surge Protectors, Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) or
Power Distribution Units (PDU).
17. Once in operation, change the monitor source signal by simply
changing the channel of the corresponding receiver to match that of the
transmitter with the desired source signal.

Troubleshooting
If unable to receive an acceptable image after following the installation
instructions, try the following troubleshooting tips:
1. Are the included external power supplies 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. Was the power to the connected devices turned off prior to
installation? If not, restart all connected devices.
3. Were the connected audio/video devices powered on before the
transmitter and receiver units? If not, disconnect power from all
transmitter and receiver units, then power them back on.
4. What resolution are you trying to obtain? Make sure the installation
is within the maximum distance and resolution specs supported by the
model as referenced in the Product Features section of this manual. If
unable to obtain an acceptable image, try lowering the computer’s video
resolution or adjusting the refresh rate.
5. What type of cabling is used in the installation? Inferior cabling
can result in poor performance. It is important to use cables that
support the desired video resolution. To achieve maximum distance
and resolution, 24 AWG solid-wire Cat5e/6 cable or 23 AWG solid-wire
Cat6a cable must be used. Tripp Lite’s N202-Series Cat6 cables use
24 AWG solid wire, as do the N022-01K-GY (Cat5) and N222-01K-GY
bulk cables. The audio/video cables used must also support the desired
video resolution. Inexpensive, low quality cables may not support the
maximum resolution. It is recommended that you use the Tripp Lite
cables listed in the Optional Accessories section of this manual.
6. Test the cables to ensure they are working properly. For example,
connect the audio/video cable between a source and functioning
monitor to ensure the cable is not defective. For Cat5e/6 cable, connect
it between a computer and a network to verify it establishes a network
connection.

Troubleshooting
7. Check cabling for any damages that may have occurred during
installation. If a cable connector is loosened from pulling through
ceilings/wall or the cable jacket is damaged with the wiring exposed,
maximum performance will not be achieved.
8. Are the transmitter(s) and/or receiver(s) located in an area with
exposure to higher temperatures? If the product is overheated, it will
not function properly.
9. Do not set identical channel numbers for transmitters in an
Unmanaged Switch installation. Doing so will result in no signal being
displayed on monitors connected to receivers assigned to the same
channel number. If this happens, change the transmitters’ channel
numbers to unique numbers and assign the desired channel number to
the affected receivers. If audio/video does not reappear after doing this,
disconnect power from the affected transmitter and receiver units, wait
10 seconds, and reconnect the power.
10. Do not connect more than two transmitters in an unmanaged
switch installation. Unmanaged switch installations are limited to two
transmitters, with the number of receivers being limited to the number
of ports remaining on the unmanaged switch.
11. Do not connect other networking equipment to the network
switch. The B160-Series Audio/Video over IP Extenders are designed
for use with a dedicated network switch. Connecting them to a switch
used with other networking equipment will result in degraded or non-
functional product performance.
