Introduction
The iPort™ FS is a free-standing docking system that allows
an Apple iPod®to become part of a whole-home audio
system, and/or to be used as a source in a variety of local
audio systems. The iPort Dock can be placed on a desk,
table or other convenient location, allowing quick and easy
insertion of an iPod, and connects the iPod to both the
audio/video system and the user’s computer. By pressing a
single button on the iPort the user can change the iPod
from the streaming (listening) mode to the music transfer

11 Instruction Manual
Cat5/RJ-45 Cable Wiring
All RJ-45 cables used in iPort installations must be wired
according to the T568A (“Straight-Through”) Standard, with
cables wired identically at both ends.
To prepare Cat5/RJ-45 cables for iPort installations:
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 the diagram.
4. Trim the ends
of the individ-
ual wires to ½”
in length, mak-
ing sure that
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 that the color orientation matches the diagram
and that cable jacket fits against the connector stop.
7. Firmly crimp the RJ-45 connector with a 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.

iPort ver. FS
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
go to www.iportmusic.com.
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
