TESIRA ETHERNET CONTROL (TEC-1)

TEC-1 Tesira Ethernet Control is a remote control for Tesira systems. It offers a simple, intuitive interface for

end users and can be installed and congured to t the unique needs of a particular application. The device

connects via standard Ethernet cabling and is powered over Ethernet, eliminating the need for custom cabling

and local power sources. Multiple remote control panels can be connected over large distances using standard

network technology.

FEATURES

• Adjustment and/or initiation of up to 32 selectable system volumes and actions

• Volumes are any individual or grouped system levels, including inputs, outputs, matrix

cross-points, etc.

• Actions are any individual or grouped system operations, including presets, source selection, mutes,

ducking, combining, etc.

• Control functions are programmed in the Tesira system design software

• High contrast OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) display with a wide viewing angle

• The display brightness can be adjusted to t the ambient light present in the application and can auto-

matically dim when not in use

• Capacitive touch technology eliminates protruding and moving parts to increase product reliability and

longevity while simplifying cleaning

• TEC-1s surface mounts or ush mounts to most walls with a wide variety of mounting holes to

accommodate standard US and international back boxes. TEC-1i ush mounts to any wall; mounts using

the retrot plate (included) or installs in a Raco® 254 box for North American installation (not included)

• 330' (100m) Ethernet cable length can be extended with standard PoE network technology (routers,

switches, hubs, media converters)

• Connects with standard RJ45 or insulation displacement connector (IDC)

• Covered by Biamp Systems’ ve-year warranty

Setup and Use

The Tesira software provides an intuitive interface for setup and programming of the TEC-1. 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.

Display

A graphic OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) display with white characters on a black background shows a

list of all control items available from that panel, as well as the last selected item. If a control item includes

a volume control assignment, the bottom of the display will show a graphical representation of a volume bar

with the current level indicated to the right (percentage of maximum level).

Capacitive-touch Scroll Wheel

The capacitive-touch sensor provides a sleek interface for menu navigation and selection. The glossy-nish nger

groove allows for scrolling through and selecting available control items, as well as adjusting volume.

Connectors

Two Ethernet connectors—one rear-facing RJ45 and one top-facing insulation displacement connector

(IDC)—are provided for connecting to the network. Only one connector may be used. The RJ45 and IDC

utilize unshielded twisted pair (UTP) wiring to connect to a Tesira system. This connection is made to the

Ethernet port of a Tesira unit, either directly (single station) or via a network switch, and carries control

data over Ethernet.

The TEC-1 is powered using IEEE 802.3-2008 Power over Ethernet protocol as Class 1 devices. Either a PoE-

capable network switch or a PoE injector is required to power the device; there are no other provisions for

power inlet.

Device Setup Mode

The TEC-1 can be congured without connecting to a functional Tesira network. To enter setup mode,

connect the TEC-1 to a PoE source and place the jumper or any metal object across the locksmith pins.

When conguration is complete, remove the jumper and attach it to only one pin to resume normal

operation. Please note: many of the conguration settings can be accessed via the Tesira software.

setup mode

The cursor has two modes: select and modify. In select mode, the cursor appears as a gray box. When

scrolling through the available items in the list, the gray box will highlight the current selection.

“Select” mode in

device setup menu

On elds that can be modied, use the Select button to transition to and from modify mode. In modify mode,

the cursor appears as an outline box. Use the scroll wheel to adjust the setting up or down.

“Modify” mode in

device setup menu

Some screens have additional buttons that are used to accept (OK), reset, or cancel changed settings. Use the

scroll wheel to navigate the cursor to these buttons and press the Select button. The OK button saves the set-

ting and exits the screen. The Reset button clears the setting and does not save it. The Cancel button exits the

screen without saving the setting.
