EX-UBT
Installation & Operation Guide
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The EX-UBT is an AVB/USB expander for use in Tesira® systems. It provides reliable digital audio I/O via USB in installations currently served by USB extenders where the USB connection distance exceeds the maximum allowable cable length of 5 meters.
The EX-UBT may also be used in situations requiring multiple USB audio inputs, or to retrofit existing Tesira installations that do not currently provide USB audio capabilities, such as those using Tesira SERVER or SERVER-IO as their DSP. Powered by PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at Class 2, 7W), the EX­UBT also supports Bluetooth® wireless technology, which is configured through Tesira software.
The EX-UBT uses Bluetooth wireless technology to provide a cable-free solution for several use cases, including but not limited to: teleconferencing using soft codecs or cell phone and supplying background music to a Tesira system. The EX-UBT is well suited for a variety of room types and sizes that require USB audio, such as conference rooms or multi­purpose spaces.

LED indicators for power and wireless status
Configurable via Tesira software
Powered by PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at Class 2, 7W)

SETUP AND USE
The Tesira software provides an intuitive interface for setup and programming of the EX-UBT. The information supplied by this manual relates to physical connections and device setup. For more details on software setup, please consult the Tesira Help File.
The EX-UBT is compact and lightweight and may be easily mounted in a variety of locations for the convenience of end-users. The EX-UBT comes with two mounting holes to secure the unit with hardware if desired. The EX-UBT is supplied with a 4.5 ft (1.4 m) USB cable.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The EX-UBT is a Power Over Ethernet device which classifies as 802.3at Class 2 (7W). When connecting the EX-UBT directly to a TesiraFORTE or Tesira Server-IO AVB port, the mid-span PoE injector must support 1 Gbps data link speed. If the mid-span PoE injector does not support 1 Gbps, the EX-UBT power LED will illuminate steady yellow but the LED on the AVB RJ45 port will remain dark indicating no data activity.

Fig.1 AVB/Control
1. AVB/Control
Facilitates connection to the Tesira AVB network for audio and control and supports a standard RJ-45 connector.
This connection is for sending and receiving AVB audio signals as well as sending and receiving data between the expander device and the Tesira system. The EX-UBT expander will only operate on a network that includes a Tesira DSP Audio device. The EX-UBT is powered by PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at Class 2, 7W).

2. USB Type-B Connection
Facilitates connection to a 3rd party device that is USB Audio Class 1 compliant. Some USB function and setup (including driver installation) may be performed from a 3rd party device. See the Tesira help file for more information.
3. Power/Status LED
A multi-color LED provides information about the status of the device.
The EX-UBT features Bluetooth wireless technology that allows 3rd party control of Tesira systems and can cache up to 32 paired devices. All setup is done in the Tesira software.
A multi-color LED provides information about the status of the Bluetooth connection:
Status LED Indicator
Bluetooth disabled, unit is in Select/ Locate mode, or the unit is updating
rmware.
Bluetooth discoverable Blue Flashing
Bluetooth connected Blue Solid
Bluetooth module fault detected (error during initialization or when communicating with the Bluetooth module)
Bluetooth pairing may also be made via pre-configured Near Field Communication (NFC) tags. NFC tags allow users with NFC capable/enabled devices to quickly pair with the EX-UBT by tapping the device on the tag. Instructions for enabling the NFC function will vary by device, but at the time of publication, Apple® devices do not support NFC compatibility with non-Apple products.
