Setting up BeoPort 

BeoPort can be set up in a variety 

of ways with other linkable Bang & 

Olufsen products. The example on 

this page shows one of many 

setup possibilities, as well as the 

connections you need to make for 

this setup. 

Note that the use of video sources 

has limitations in some countries. 

Contact your retailer for further 

information. 

Turn to the next page for details 

about connecting BeoPort. All 

connections 

except the USB 

connection

 must be made before 

you install the BeoPort software. 

Option number setting 

For a setup to function, the BeoPort box 

and any link products included in the 

setup must “know” in what kind of 

environment they are placed. To ensure 

this, you simply select an 

Option

 number 

for each product in your setup. You select 

the 

Option 

number for BeoPort in the 

Configuration menu, once you have 

finished the installation process. Refer to 

Configuration

 (p. 11). 

Regarding ‘Option’ number setting of link 

products, refer to the documentation enclosed 

with these products. 

BeoPort – in a Bang & Olufsen system 

setup 

The setup shown above is a typical example of a 

system setup. In this example the BeoPort box 

must be set to 

Option 

number 6, which is the 

default setting. From your PC in one room, you 

can listen to either main room or link room 

sources. If you wish, the audio signals can be 

distributed to additional link rooms throughout 

the house and to the main room. 

With a 

connected IR receiver, you can operate your 

system with a Beo4 remote control. To be able 

to remote control your sources via BeoPort, your 

PC must be turned on.

Additional Options for the BeoPort box 

In addition to 

Option

 number 6, it is possible to 

select 

Option

 numbers 0, 2 and 4. 

Option

 

number 0 is for a setup where you want to 

disable an IR receiver. 

Option

 2 is for a setup 

where you want to use your PC as a main room 

product. 

Option

 4 is for a setup with link room 

products placed in the same room as the main 

system. The use for these Options is limited, 

but your retailer can be contacted for further 

information about 

Option

 number selection.
