TEC-1 BACK PANEL
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.
