read and follow all of the instructions in this
manual carefully.
System Capabilities:
• Delivers local-zone unbalanced audio up
to 30 feet (9m) from the mount. Note:
The audio system must supply volume control.
• Charges the iPod touch while it is mounted.

RequiredTools
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 (for retrotting into an existing wall)
SelectinganInstallationLocation
The iPort Control Mount is designed for use in normal interior environments. When
selecting an installation 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.
• The Control Mount has angled screw mounting holes on both sides that allow it to
be installed up against a stud.
• Check for a strong Wi-Fi signal at the mounting location using the iPod touch that is
to be installed in the Control Mount.

See Figure 1 & 2
Audio Connector: RJ-45 jack connects to the
audio wall plate via Cat5 cable. The Audio
connection transmits unbalanced audio to
the audio wall plate. It also receives DC
power from the audio wall plate.
WiringCat5/RJ-45Cable
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 indi-
vidual wires.
3. Untwist the wire pairs and spread them
at. Arrange them as shown in Figure 2.
4. Trim the ends of the individual wires to ½”
in length, making 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 rmly into
the connector. Make sure that all the wires
are at all the way to the very front of the
connector.
6. Re-conrm that the color orientation
matches the diagram and that cable
jacket ts against the connector stop.

7. Firmly crimp the RJ-45 connector with the crimp tool. Conrm that the connector is
crimped rmly and that all the wires are at 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.
InstallationPreparation
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:YoucanmounttheCM-IW100Tdirectlynexttoawallstudoneitherside(see
Step8).
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 toconfirm the installationof the iPortat this timefor either vertical
(portrait)orhorizontal(landscape)orientation.Certainapplicationsofthemounted
iPodtouchwork only in one orientation,sobesuretoconfirmtheclient’srequire-
mentsbeforecuttingthehole.
• 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.
iPortConnectionsandInstallation
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:
Pin 1:
Pin 2:
Pin 3: Audio Left
Pin 4: Unused
Pin 5: Audio Right
Pin 6: Unused
Pin 7: Ground
Pin 8: +15V

3. Plug the Cat5 cable into the Audio connector on the Control Mount and the RJ-45 jack
on the wall plate, as shown in Figure 3.
4. Install the wall plate into an electrical box in the room near the audio system.

5. Use a stereo RCA audio cable to connect
the wall plate’s Audio connectors to a
source input on the local-zone audio
system, as shown in Figure 3.
6. Prior to placing the mounting cradle into
the wall, pull a sufcient length of the Cat5
cable and its attached RJ-45 connector
through the opening in the lower corner of
the mounting cradle, as shown in gure 4.
7. The retainer and cradle are pre-assembled
with internal packaging materials.
Disassemble by removing the four screws.

Discard the foam block and card insert.
8. Insert the Control Mount mounting cradle
into the opening in the wall.
Note: The Roto-Lock system can accom-
modate wall thickness of 3/8” to 3/4”
and can be extended to 1 1/4” with the
removalofthetogglecaps.
9. Hand-tighten the four Roto-Lock screws on
the Control Mount’s utility box as shown
in Figure 5. The Roto-Lock clamps will
automatically rotate into position behind
the wall and begin clamping the mount.
• When you notice resistance on the four
screws, the Control Mount has been
clamped successfully.
IMPORTANT: NEVER over-tighten
the Roto-Lock screws.
10.If there is a wall stud up against one side
of the utility box that prevents one Roto-
Lock clamp from operating, secure the
box by hand-driving a 1½” #6 drywall
screw (not provided) through the angled
hole on that side of the chassis and into
the wall stud.
IMPORTANT: Do not over-tighten
the drywall screw.
11. Connect the Cat5 cable from the wall to
the RJ-45 jack on the connector board
and then mount the iPod touch to the
connector board as noted in gure 6.
12. Place the iPod touch assembly into the
mounting cradle by aligning the mount
connector board with the slot opening
in the mounting cradle. A slight tight t
between the connector board and the slot
opening will hold the weight of the iPod
touch. The iPod touch will t snugly in the
cradle.

13. Place the retention bracket over the iPod
touch. Make sure the bent tab on the
retention bracket is in contact with the
bottom edge of the iPod touch. There
should now be a very snug t around the
entire iPod touch
14.Attach the faceplate to the utility box as
shown in Figure 8.
15. Plug the included DC power supply into
the Power connector on the wall plate
and into a wall outlet, as shown in Figure
3.
