TEC-1 Device Maintenance

The resulting dialog allows for setting the network parameters, device description and other TEC-1 properties.  

Note

The default network configuration of TEC-1 units is DHCP, so if there is no DHCP server on the Tesira network the units will revert to link local addressing (169.254.xxx.xxx, netmask 255.255.0.0) schemes.    If the Tesira servers have been set to static addresses of a different subnet BEFORE this process is completed, a TEC-1 unit can be statically addressed by shorting the ‘Locksmith’ header pins on the rear circuit board and using the dialogs on the unit to set it to a compatible subnet. Once the TEC-1s and the Tesira servers are on the same subnet, the units should be discoverable in Device Maintenance.

 

 

Remote Device Network Settings

This view shows the DHCP host name of the unit, the IP Address (only if statically configured), the units proxy server, its description and firmware version.

The Network Settings dialog allows for setting of the unit’s Host Name and DHCP/Static IP addressing options.

Device Description

The Device Description dialog allows one to set a logical description to the unit (separate from the Device ID used in the Device Component Object block).

 

TEC-1 Properties

The TEC-1 Properties dialog allows for setting of the Device ID and other operational settings of the TEC-1.

• Device ID:  This must match exactly with the device ID in the TEC-1 block for the unit to receive the proper configuration menus and control the correct parameters.
• Unlock Code:  If the Lock Timeout is set, this Unlock code is required to unlock the unit.  This is a four-digit number.
• Lock Timeout:  The inactivity time after which the unit will lock (in seconds). The Unlock Code will then be required to operate the unit.
• Dim Timeout:  The inactivity time after which the unit will dim the display (in seconds) to save power.  A sensory input will bring the display back to full brightness.
• Sleep Timeout: The inactivity time after which the unit will go into sleep mode (in seconds) to save power. A sensory input will bring the unit out of sleep mode.
