3a. If the system includes a #70071 or #70072 line- level volume control, set the iPort’s Volume Control YES/NO switch to the right (YES) position (volume control in system).

3b. Use 5-conductor twin-shielded wire to connect the volume control to the iPort 5-pin connector block. To avoid noise, connect the wires as shown in Figure 3.

The volume control connector pin assignments are:

Pin 1: R ch line-level audio from volume control to iPort

Pin 2: L ch line-level audio from volume control to iPort

Pin 3: Ground

Pin 4: R ch line-level audio from iPort to volume control

Pin 5: L ch line-level audio from iPort to volume control

Note: Do not use Cat5 wire to make these connections. This wire carries high-imped- ance unbalanced line-level audio and must be twin-shielded to avoid noise. Two stan- dard stereo RCA audio cables with the ends removed will also work for this application.

4.Plug the RJ-45 connectors into the Audio jack on the iPort and the RJ-45 jack on the Wallplate.

5.Install the Unbalanced Audio Wallplate in an electrical box in the room where the audio equipment is located.

Important: Do not install the iPort Wallplate in the same electrical box as AC house wiring, a light switch or any other high-voltage device or control. The Wallplate can share gang boxes with other iPort Wallplates or with controls such as A/B speaker switches, infrared receivers and vol- ume controls, if these other devices are rated as Class 2 devices according to the National Electrical Code.

6.Plug the included 15V DC power supply into the Power connector on the iPort Wallplate.

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 dia- gram.

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 firmly into the connector. Make sure that all the wires are flat all the way to the very front of the con- nector.

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 the crimp tool. Confirm that the connector is crimped firmly and that all the wires are flat right up against the front of the connec- tor. If even one of these wires is incorrect, cut the connec- tor off the cable and repeat steps 2 – 7 with a new RJ-45 connector.
