Introduction

The iPort

®

 Control Mount is an in-wall mounting platform system 

that allows an iPad

®

 to become an integral part of your home 

control system through wireless applications. Before installing 
and using the CM-IW2000, please read and follow all of the 
instructions in this manual carefully.

System Capabilities:

•  Rigidly  supports  the  iPad  and  provides  a  modern  elegant 

appearance

•  Charges the iPad while it is mounted.

Required Tools

The following tools are required to install the iPort:

• #1 Phillips screwdriver
• #2 Phillips screwdriver
•  Wire cutters and wire strippers
•  RJ-45 cable crimp tool and modular connectors
•  Sheet rock saw (for retrofitting into an existing wall)

Selecting an Installation Location

The iPort Control Mount is designed for use in normal interior 
environments.  When  selecting location for the Control Mount, 
please consider the following:

•  Do not use the Control Mount outside or in a humid or wet 

environment. It is not waterproof or water-resistant. 

•  The  Control  Mount  cut-out  must  have  enough  depth  within 

the wall cavity for the Control Mount and its connections.

• Check for a strong Wi-Fi signal at the mounting location using 

the iPad that is to be installed in the Control Mount.

Control Mount Rear Connection

The  CM-IW2000  features  an  RJ-45  jack  to  connect to the 
powered wall plate via Cat5 cable. The power connection receives 
DC power through the RJ45 connector as shown in figure 1.

Wiring Cat5/RJ-45 Cable

The  Cat5  cable  and  RJ-45  connector  used  in  iPort  installations 
must  be  wired  according  to  the  T568A  (“Straight-Through”) 
Standard with cables wired identically at both ends.

To  prepare  the  Cat5  cable  and  RJ-45  connector  for  iPort 
installation:
1.   Pull  the  Cat5  wire  through  the  wall  between  the  desired 

locations.

2.   Use a stripper or knife to strip about 1” of the cable jacket off 

each end of the wire.

• Be careful not to nick any of the individual wires.

3.   Untwist the wire pairs and spread them flat. Arrange them as 

shown in Figure 2.

4.   Trim  the  ends  of  the  individual  wires  to  ½”  in  length,  making 

sure  they  are  even  with  each  other.  Flatten  the  wires  against 
each other, leaving no space between them.

5.   Hold the RJ-45 connector clip-side down and insert the Cat5 

wire ends firmly into the connector. Make sure that all the wires 
are flat all the way to the very front of the connector.

6.   Re-confirm  the  color  orientation  matches  the  diagram  and   

cable jacket fits against the connector stop. 

7.   Firmly crimp the RJ-45 connector with the crimp tool. Confirm 

the connector is crimped firmly and 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.
