TekMonitor Set Up Guide(V1.4)

For Non-Configured TekMonitors

August 5th, 2014

Overview: A TEKVOX TekPatrol™-based system, including all TEKVOX Drop-Ins, requires
certain information to be programmed into the device prior to operational deployment. At a
minimum, this includes the following:

1. Campus name

2. Building name

3. Room number

4. Projector model number

5. Projector serial number

6. Tek 1201HD serial number

7. Tek 2 TekMonitor serial number (pre-programmed by TEKVOX).

The serial numbers are essential to TekPatrol’s asset management functions and cannot be

overlooked. TEKVOX offers free in-factory configuration for customer convenience if the above
information is provided with the product order (see TEKVOX Drop-In Worksheet.xls).

If you have received an unconfigured system, please follow the steps below to configure your
system(s). You will need:

1. TEKVOX TekManager software installed on a local Windows PC (contact

[e-mail] if you do not have this software)

2. A CAT5e ethernet cable

3. A means to power the TekMonitor for configuration (see below)

Section 1: Establishing a Connection with the TekMonitor

1. Powering the TekMonitor: The TekMonitor can be powered through its 24V DC power

input or via a CAT5E ethernet cable with power (PoE or injected power). Please ensure

that the TekMonitor is powered.

2. Connecting to the TekMonitor: The TekMonitor is compatible with Ethernet and a

Cat5E wired connection between the Tek 2 and a router with DHCP must be

established. The TekMonitor will perform a DHCP request on power-up. (The order in

which it receives power doesn’t matter).

3. Using TekManager: Open the TekManager program. If this is your first time launching

TekManager, you should update drivers by going to the TekManager Tools menu and

selecting “Update Drivers”. You’ll get an option to unzip the files. Click “unzip”. Once it

has finished unzipping, close it. This will ensure that your TekMonitor runs correctly. It is

a good practice to frequently update drivers.

4. Discovering the TekMonitor’s IP Address: In order to communicate with a

TekMonitor, you have to discover its IP address. Select “search” from the top menu bar

in TekManager. Then select “IP Address Range(s)”. Check the box that reads “Search

all IPs” and then click “search.” Wait for the program to run, and your TekMonitor will

appear under the “holding” section of TekManager. Once the new window says “Search

Complete”, click “close”.

Section 2: Introduction to Templates using TekWizard

Selecting Templates

On the left-hand side of TekWizard, you’ll see sections ranging from “Start” down to “Finish.”

1. Start - This section allows you to select templates for the TekMonitor and its associated

device. Since each room has unique information that is configured to a specific

TekMonitor, you’ll need to select the correct template. Under the “start” section of

TekMonitor, you’ll see two columns. The one on the left is for the TekMonitor template

and the one on the right is for the device template. Once you have determined the

appropriate ones, select them and then click “next”. If you do not have the template you

need, go to the “tools” section in TekManager and then select “options”. Click “browse”

under the Template selection to search for templates that are not already built into

TekMonitor. This permanently sets the Template path to the new path and will need to

be reset to the original default path if access to the default Templates is desired.

2. Location - Provides details for the TekMonitor. Fill in the appropriate information. This

includes the location, building, and room number. You will also need to insert a

passcode if one differing from the default is desired. To find this, go to the “settings”

section on the left. From there, you’ll see the four-digit passcode on the right under the

“Communication Settings” section. Copy it, and paste it under the “TekMonitor
