Always use the non-PoE+ port (P1) of the TC-5 to link to the upstream device to maximize the available PoE+ ports and
prevent possible damage connecting PoE source to PoE source.
TC-5D may be used in place of TC-5 in Launch auto-configured systems, but Launch will not be able to leverage the
additional Dante features of TC-5D. Other
may also be used to connect AVB peripherals
in manually configured or Launch auto-configured systems.
Manual configuration
Manual configuration allows users to treat the TesiraFORTÉ X as a standard Tesira server-class device and define the
signal paths required for the application. The device's analog I/O, GPIO, and Dante I/O become available for use when
manually configured. When TesiraFORTÉ X is manually configured, the auto-tuning functions are not available.
When manually configured, TesiraFORTÉ X shares the same Tesira programming platform as previous Tesira hardware
and can be easily included in systems with all other Tesira devices. An I/O block family for TesiraFORTÉ X is found
under the Forte menu in Tesira software.
When the device is manually configured, TesiraFORTÉ X offers Tesira’s dedicated AEC processing for up to 16 input
channels (depending on hardware model), up to 2x2 channels of USB connectivity (with HID mute sync on
1x1 speakerphone), VoIP, (5) 1G network ports including (4) ports offering PoE+, support for 128x128 audio channels
on 64x64 streams of AVB between Biamp Tesira devices, 32x32 audio channels on 32x32 flows of Dante, (2) analog
mic-line inputs with phantom power, (2) analog mic-line outputs, and (4) ports of GPIO. (Note that some
hardware functions are
only
available when TesiraFORTÉ X is manually configured.)
Prior to running Launch configuration TesiraFORTÉ X will
display a Device ID of 0, indicating it is unconfigured.
To manually configure the device you will first need
to "Clear Configuration" from Device Maintenance to wipe
the Launch capability from it (just like a Forte with the
default layout preloaded), then "Reboot" the device. A
pop-up will notify users prior to loading a config file if this
step is required on a device.
• Launch functions may be restored through a pinhole reset of hardware. The reset button is located between the
GPIO block and the power connector.
Launch-configured devices are visible from Tesira SW with the system description "Biamp Launch" and show a Device
ID of 1, but the "Connect To System" option is not available. The web UI is the path to interact with it.
If additional AVB network ports are required, up to (3)
devices may be linked on TesiraFORTÉ X
P2-P5 to increase the port count as needed. If multiple TC-5 are required, TC-5 may be connected in a daisy
chain, star, or hybrid daisy-chain/star configuration. The TesiraFORTÉ X (P2-P5) participates as a media network switch
in this configuration.
Always use the non-PoE+ port (P1) of the TC-5 to link to the upstream device to maximize the available PoE+ ports and
