Installation
Installing the TEK 2 does not require any additional mounting hardware like projector or furniture mounts.
The TEK 2 is designed with permanent side flanges and only requires #6 wood or metal screws.
The TEK 2 should not be mounted on a monitored device and should not be easily visible. If the TEK 2 is
stolen with the device, it cannot send an Email or set an alarm. Also the power supply should not be
easily disconnected along with the projector. Although, if monitored by the TekManager software, it is
possible to send a report that the software has lost communication with the TEK 2.
Installing a TEK 2
There are two stick-on labels with the serial number and MAC address included with the TEK 2. One of
these labels can be applied to the top of the TEK 2 for easy viewing. The other can be applied to the
TekMonitor install report to reduce errors and make the install easier. Write down the model number,
serial number, asset number, if any, date of install for the monitored. Before mounting the TEK 2 make
certain that your LAN supports DHCP. If not, you will need to set a static IP address. (See Setting a Static
IP Address, page 19)
Locate a place to mount the TEK 2, usually above the ceiling. Always follow electrical codes for placing
cables and hardware in a plenum. Disconnect power from the monitored device and connect a
control/security cable between the TEK 2 and monitored device. (See Wiring Diagrams, page 21)
Connect any other devices that need to be controlled or monitored by the TEK 2. Reapply power to all
devices.
Once all TekMonitors have been installed, run TekManager and search an address range. TekManager
automatically finds each TekMonitor on the network and places them into the Holding Area. Using the
information from the install report, select TekWizard and configure an individual TekMonitor.
