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.

Troubleshooting

If you are unable to get an acceptable image after following the installation

instructions, try the troubleshooting tips below.

1Is 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.

2Was the power to the DVI source turned off prior to installation? If not,

restart your computer.

3Have 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.

Troubleshooting

4What resolution are you trying to reach? Tripp Lite’s DVI over Cat5

extenders are tested to support up to 1920 x 1080 @ 60Hz video

resolution (See the Product Features section or the installation diagrams

in this manual for details on max distance and resolution when using the

repeater and the different receivers). The shorter the extension distance,

the higher the resolution you will be able to obtain. If you are not able

to get an acceptable image after adjusting the Equalization setting, try

lowering your computer’s video resolution and/or adjusting the refresh rate.

5What 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. To achieve maximum distance

and resolution, 24AWG solid wire UTP cable must be used. Tripp Lite’s

N202-Series Cat6 cables are made with 24AWG solid wire, as are the

N022-01K-GY (Cat5) and N222-01K-GY bulk cables. Also, the DVI

cables you are using must support the resolution you are trying to obtain.

Inexpensive, low quality DVI cables may not support the maximum

resolution. It is recommended that you use Tripp Lite’s P561-Series DVI-D

Single-Link cables, as they have been tested to work with the B140-Series

extender products.

6Test your cables to ensure they are working properly. For example, connect

your DVI 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.

7Do you have any patch panels or other devices in between the transmitter,

repeater, and receiver units? Tripp Lite’s DVI 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.

Troubleshooting

8Check 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.

9Are 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.

Are you using a VGA to DVI adapter with this product? The B140-Series

extenders support DVI-D (Digital) only, and will not function if connected to

a VGA computer or monitor.

If using a DVI to HDMI adapter with this product, you will only be able to

transmit a video signal. DVI does not support audio, and will not be able

to send an audio signal to an HDMI display.

The signal from input port A is transmitted to RJ45 output ports 1A and

2A. The signal from input port B is transmitted to RJ45 output ports 1B

and 2B. For your Dual Display installation to appear correctly in extended

screen mode, locate the monitor connected to RJ45 port 1A next to

the monitor connected to RJ45 port 1B. Likewise, locate the monitor

connected to RJ45 port 2A next to the monitor connected to RJ45 port

2B. Reference the installation diagrams in this manual for examples of a

correct setup.

If you have followed the proper installation procedures, and all monitors

continue to display the same image, you may have to go into your

computer’s Display Settings menu and activate Extended monitor mode.

If your computer is set to Mirror (or Duplicate) monitor mode, the same

image will be displayed on both screens.
