Do not tin the wires!

This guide provides instructions for installing and connecting the Extron ShareLink Pro 1000 Collaboration Gateway. The
ShareLink Pro 1000 allows anyone to present wireless or wired content from a personal device—such as a PC, laptop, smartphone,
or tablet—onto a display. It is compatible with Windows® and macOS® computers, as well as AndroidTM and Apple® iOS
smartphones and tablets.

The ShareLink Pro 1000 also features dual Gigabit Ethernet connections, enabling segmentation of internal private networks on one
Ethernet from external guest networks on another Ethernet. This ensures that only authorized users can access the private network.

Mounting

The ShareLink Pro 1000 can be placed on a desktop or tabletop using the included rubber feet, or mounted to a rack or furniture
(see the ShareLink Pro 1000 User Guide, available at www.extron.com, for mounting options and instructions).
