7. Firmly crimp the RJ-45 connector with the crimp tool. Confirm that the connector is
crimped firmly and that all the wires are flat right up against the front of the connector.
If even one of these wires is incorrect, cut the connector off the cable and repeat steps
2 – 7 with a new RJ-45 connector.
Installation Preparation
The CM-IW100T features an integral Roto-Lock mounting system for quick mounting
directly into existing walls. Once the hole is cut and the cables have been run, you can
install the iPort into the wall in a matter of seconds.
1. Determine the location for the iPort Control Mount and the wall plate. Note that the
unbalanced audio is designed for use in a local-zone system where the iPort wall plate
and audio equipment are located less than 30 feet from the Control Mount.
2. Perform an obstruction survey to ensure there are no studs, conduit, pipes, heating
ducts, or air returns that will interfere with the Control Mount.
Note: You can mount the CM-IW100T directly next to a wall stud on either side (see
Step 8).
3. Find the cut-out template provided in the CM-IW100T packaging. Position the template
where the Control Mount is to be located and pencil an outline on the wall.
Note: Be sure to confirm the installation of the iPort at this time for either vertical
(portrait) or horizontal (landscape) orientation. Certain applications of the mounted
iPod touch work only in one orientation, so be sure to confirm the client’s require-
ments before cutting the hole.
• If you are unsure about obstructions, drill a small hole in the center of the outline and
insert a coat hanger wire into the hole to feel around for possible obstructions.
4. Cut the opening using a drywall saw.
iPort Connections and Installation
See Figure 3
1. Before making connections, run a length of Cat5 cable through the wall from the Control
Mount location to the audio wall plate location, as shown in Figure 3. The wall plate can
be located up to 30 feet from the dock.
• Find a location for the wall plate that is near both a source of AC power and the local-
zone audio system.
2. Install RJ-45 connectors on both ends of the Cat5 cable as explained in Figure 2: Cat5 /
RJ-45 Audio connector. The audio Cat5/RJ-45 cable pin assignment is:
