•When switching-back to iPod models with a Dock Connector that are larger than 30GB, retract the iPort’s center disc backwards by rotating it clockwise until you feel the first detent (see Figure 9). When these larger models are placed in the iPod well the spring-loaded clamps will rotate out of the way.

Controlling the iPod in an iPort System

In IW-1 systems, the iPod is controlled from its own front panel. In IW-2 systems, the iPod can also be controlled by an optional #70031 or #70032 IR remote. An IR receiver in the iPort relays commands to the iPod through the dock connector.

In IW-3 systems, IR commands from a compatible control system can be sent to the iPort from the Balanced Audio Wallplate. In IW-4 and IW-5 systems, compatible controllers can send IR commands and RS-232 commands to the iPort from the Balanced Audio Wallplate. These commands are relayed to the iPod through the dock connector. Two-way communication from the iPod (including iPod metadata — non-program information such as song titles) is available in IW-4 and IW-5 systems with RS-232 capability.

•When the RS-232 control mode is active, the iPod will only respond to the following IR control codes: Play/Pause, Next Track, Previous Tracl.

•In IW-5 systems, iPod photo features cannot be controlled in the RS-232 control mode. The iPod must be taken out of the RS-232 control mode; the photo features can then be controlled from the iPod’s front panel controls. The iPod must be put back into the RS-232 control mode to control other functions.

•When the RS-232 control mode is active, if the iPod is placed in the dock while in the Play mode it will automatically enter the Pause mode. This is due to the iPod protocol.
