Basic Wiring Diagram
SW-120-TX3 (Front/Rear)
DIP Switch Control
The four-pin DIP switch can be used to adjust the RS-232 function.
Pin 2 is set to the “Up” position, RS-232 Control mode. RS-232 port is used to
control the receiver and remote transmitter. In this mode, users can upgrade
the receiver’s MCU firmware.
Pin 2 is set to the “Down” position, RS-232 HDBaseT Firmware Upgrade. Users
can upgrade firmware in this mode.
Pin 1, Pin 3 and Pin 4 are reserved. The positions of these two pins will not affect IR and RS-232 functions.
Wiring and Connections
WyreStorm recommends that all wiring for the installation is run and
terminated before making connections to the switcher. Read through this
section in its entirety before running or terminating the wires to ensure
proper operation and to avoid damaging equipment.
IMPORTANT: Wiring Guidelines
- The use of patch panels, wall plates, cable extenders, kinks in cables, and electrical or environmental interference will hurt signal transmission which may limit performance. Steps should be taken to minimize or remove these factors completely during installation for best results.
- WyreStorm recommends using pre-terminated HDMI and USB cables due to the complexity of these connector types. Using pre-terminated cables will ensure that these connections are accurate and will not interfere with the performance of the product.
- This product contains a USB-C connection that can be used as an audio/video input. When using this connection verify that the USB-C cable used supports audio/video functionality as not all USB-C cables support this requirement.
RS-232 Wiring
The SW-120-TX3-Ux uses a 3-pin RS-232 with no hardware flow control. Most
control systems and computers are DTE where pin 2 is RX, this can vary from
device to device. Refer to the documentation for the connected device for pin
functionally to ensure that the correct connections can be made.
- Baud Rate: 115200
- Byte : 8bits
- Pairty: No
- Stop Bit: 1
Note: The RS-232 port is software that allows the SW-120-TX3-Ux to distinguish between a self-switching command or whether a routed, device control command is being sent over HDBaseT
Audio Connections
The audio connections use a 3.5mm (1/8in) TRS Stereo Jack.
Troubleshooting
No or Poor Quality Picture (snow or noisy image)
- Verify that power is being supplied to the transmitter and receiving device.
- Verify that all HDMI, USB and HDBaseT connections are not loose and are functioning properly.
- Verify that the HDBaseT cable is properly terminated following EIA568B standard.
- Verify that the output resolution of the source and display is supported by this extender.
- If transmitting 4K, verify that the HDMI cables used are 4K rated.
No or Intermittent 3rd party Device Control
Verify that the RS-232 cables are properly terminated following the Wiring
and Connections section.
Troubleshooting Tips
WyreStorm recommends using a cable tester or connecting the cable to other
devices to verify functionality.
