Required Tools

The following tools are required to install the iPort:

• #2 Phillips screwdriver

• Wire cutters and wire strippers

• RJ-45 cable crimp tool and modular connectors

• Sheet rock saw (if retrofitting into an existing wall)

Selecting an Installation Location

The iPort IW-20, IW-21, and IW-22 are designed for use in normal interior environments. When selecting an installation 
location for the iPort, please consider the following:

• Do not use the iPort outside or in a humid or wet environment. The iPort is not waterproof, nor is it water-resistant. 

• The iPort cut-out is 4” (102mm) wide x 5

9

/

16

” (141mm) high. There also must be at least 3½” (89mm) depth within the wall

cavity for the iPort and its connections.

• The iPort has angled screw mounting holes on both sides that allow it to be installed up against a stud. 

• Avoid installing the iPort in a location that is in direct sunlight a portion of the day, as it can interfere with IR operation.

Selectable Features 

(IW-21 and IW-22 only)

IMPORTANT: Before installing the iPort you
need to select the audio output mode, the
video output type, and the default control
mode. The selector switches are located on the
iPort main circuit board, as shown in 

Figure 1

.

1. Select the desired audio output mode (fixed or 

variable). See 

Figure 1

.

• Var = Variable (iPort volume can be controlled via

IR when in general control mode)

• Fixed = iPort volume is fixed, and it must be 

controlled via the connected audio system. 

2. Select the desired video output type (Component

Video or Composite/S-Video). See 

Figure 1

.

• SV = Composite/S-Video

• CV = Component Video

Note: Component and S-Video output are only
available in the IW-21 and IW-22 models with
the Balanced Video Upgrade Kit installed, and is
dependent on the specific iPod model.
