5. Connect the Balanced Audio Receiver Wallplate to the audio system using a stereo audio cable,
as shown in
Figure 8
.
6. If the audio system has a compatible IR control output, use a mono 3.5mm mini cable to connect
it to the Balanced Audio Receiver Wallplate’s
IR
connector, as shown in
Figure 8
.
7. For FS-4 and FS-5 systems, if the audio system has a compatible RS-232 control output, connect it to
the Balanced Audio Receiver Wallplate’s RS-232 connector using the supplied RS-232 cable, as shown
in
Figure 8
. The Wallplate accepts a male RJ-11 connector with the following pin configuration:
* Only one PC RX and GND
pin connection is required.
Note: For complete information about RS-232 connections, programming and operation

8. Normally, the iPort system’s +15V DC power supply will plug into a wall outlet in the iPort Room
and connect to the Advanced Connection Box (see Step 13 and
Figure 10
). If this is not possible,
you can use a wall outlet in the Audio Equipment Room, as shown in
Figure 8
.
Do NOT plug the
power supply into a wall outlet at this time.
If you are connecting the power supply to the Balanced Audio Receiver Wallplate and it is located
more than 250 feet from the Balanced Audio Sender Wallplate
: You will need to run a length of
16/2 speaker wire through the wall, from the Audio Receiver Wallplate’s
Aux Power
2-pin connector
to the Audio Sender Wallplate’s Aux Power 2-pin connector, as shown below in
Figure 7
. This will
avoid performance degradation caused by a loss of DC voltage over wire runs longer than 250 feet
9. As shown in
Figure
10
on page 15,
connect the sup-
plied Double Cable
to the iPort Dock,
the Advanced
Connection Box
and the computer’s
USB port.
10. As
shown in
Figure 10
on page
