4. Installation
The installation chapter gives an overview of the different ways to install and connect MTC-4500 Base Unit.
Overview:
Installation methods for the Base unit
Table mounting
Wall mounting
Recommendations about antenna placement and orientation
MTC-4500 Power Connection
MTC-4500 Video Connection
MTC-4500 Audio connection

About USB device connection
Wiring Diagram
4.1 Installation methods for the Base unit
Introduction to the installation methods:
The Base unit can be installed in different ways in a meeting room.
Table mount
Wall mount
The articulated antennas are removable. They can rotate for better wireless connection.
Attention: For optimal performance, install the Base unit close to the display and avoid obstacles between the
Base unit and the Transmitters.
Necessary tools
• A drill (type of drill depends on the type of wall)
• Flat screwdriver
• Additional screwdriver that matches the mounting screws (mounting screws not included in the package)
Necessary parts
• 2 mounting screws
• 2 plugs

How to install
1. Drill two holes in the wall as indicated on the drawing.
Horizontal distance: 177 mm ± 0.15
2. At the bottom of Base Unit, turn in 2 flat screws into 2 holes to be fasten enough.
Note: Mounting screws and plugs are not included in the MTC-4500 box . The type of screws depends on the
type of wall (stone, wood, plasterboard, ...) you are mounting the Base Unit to. Make sure the head of the screw is
not larger than the hole in the bottom of base unit.
3. Place MTC-4500B on the wall and fixate the base unit with the 2 unfixed screws.
Antenna placement rules
The antennas should be oriented vertically, so perpendicular to the ceiling and parallel to the walls.
The antennas should be installed far enough (at least 50cm/1.6ft) from metallic surfaces to avoid unwanted
reflections and far enough (at least 1m/3.3ft) from other radio e uipment that operates in the same
fre uency range, e.g. other WiFi access points, cordless telephone, microwave ovens,…. It is also best to
install antennas at least 15 cm (6 inches) from concrete walls.
The most favorable situation is a direct line of sight between antennas and Buttons. Any obstruction will
cause the signal to follow a longer propagation path, which can result in performance degradation.
Due to the particular radio pattern of the dipole antennas, the antennas should not be placed just above
potential positions of MTC-4500 users. As a result, the advised position for the antennas is at the side of the
meeting room.
