• #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)
Selecting an Installation Location
The iPort Control Mount is designed for use in normal interior
environments. When selecting 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.
• Check for a strong Wi-Fi signal at the mounting location using
the iPad that is to be installed in the Control Mount.
Wiring Cat5/RJ-45 Cable
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 individual 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 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 the color orientation matches the diagram and
cable jacket ts against the connector stop.
7. Firmly crimp the RJ-45 connector with the crimp tool. Conrm
the connector is crimped rmly and 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.

The CM-IW2000 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.
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.
3. Find the cut-out template provided in the CM-IW2000
packaging. Place in appropriate location between wall studs.
Verify there are no horizontal re blocks with-in cut out area.
Place level on template to assure a level opening. Position the
template where the Control Mount is to be located and pencil
an outline on the wall.
Note: Be sure to confirm the installation of the iPort at this
time for either vertical (portrait) or horizontal (landscape)
orientation. Certain applications of the mounted iPad work
only in one orientation, so be sure to confirm the client’s
requirements before cutting the hole.
• 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.
5. After cutting the opening, make sure the edges of opening
are smooth so frame ange will rest at against wall.
iPort Connection and Installation
See Figure 3
1. Before making connections, run a length of Cat5 cable through
the wall from the Control Mount location to the power wall plate
location, as shown in Figure 3. The wall plate can be located up
to 30 feet from the control mount.
2. Install RJ-45 connectors on both ends of the Cat5 cable as
explained in Figure 2: Cat5 / RJ-45 Power connector. The Cat5/
RJ-45 cable pin assignment is:
Pin 1: Unused
Pin 2: Unused
Pin 3: Unused
Pin 4: Unused
3. Plug the Cat5 cable into the RJ-45 jack 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
IMPORTANT: Do not install the iPort’s wall plate in the same
electrical box as AC house wiring, a light switch, or any other highvoltage device or control. The wall plate can share gang boxes
with other iPort Control Mount wall plates or with controls such
as A/B speaker switches, infrared receivers, and volume controls,
if these other devices are rated as Class 2 devices according to the
National Electrical Code.

Painting the bezel
iPort bezels are shipped from the factory with a standard
finish. The instructions below can be used as guidelines to
achieve a custom finish.
A light coat of paint to match the surrounding wall is recommended. A light coat will allow the bezel to maintain all
proper tolerances and ensure precision fit. Do not roll or
brush paint onto the bezel.
1. Apply a light coat of XIM Primer/Bonder (or similar) to the
bezel. Carefully follow the directions on the can. NOTE:
Match the primer type to the specied paint.
2. As many of the bezels are used on a daily basis, it is
recommended to use a lacquer, oil or polyurethane based
paint which will provide greater durability. If a water based
paint is used, it is recommended to add a clear coat to protect
the nish and improve durability, sand as necessary to adjust
gloss level.
3. Thin the paint to the proper ratio for the application method
and paint manufacturers recommendations and standard
industry practices. Strain the paint through a standard mesh
strainer to remove any lumps.
4. Using a small touch-up gun or cap spray gun, with a #3 tip for
painting, set the nozzle with a medium to wide fan, and set
the pressure regulator to 60 psi.
5. Lightly spray the front of the bezel in three quick strokes,
from approximately 10 inches away.
6. Paint at a slight angle (approximately 45 degrees) to ensure
that the paint covers the sidewalls of the bezel. Only a very
light coat of paint is needed on the surface.
7. Let the paint set for one minute, turn the bezel 90° and repeat
the painting process for all sides.
