Introduction
TekPatrol™ is a state-of-the-art asset management technology providing real-time supervision and
control of any device with a serial connection and released protocol. Use TekPatrol to supervise devices
and controlled areas for security and maintenance purposes. Our technology works in your classroom or
office, providing control and security of your projector, plasma, other audio visual equipment, lights and
computer equipment.
Unlike other monitoring systems that require static IP addresses, TekPatrol uses a proprietary auto-
discovery method allowing each TekMonitor to be installed with its IP address set to DHCP. No longer do
you have to wait for static IP addresses from your IT group. Since our auto-discovery method does not
use the DHCP name, static IP addresses may also be used.
TekPatrol is not locked to any particular product or manufacturer to supervise or control a device such as
video projector, plasma or LCD monitor. Manufacturers like Sony, Hitachi, Panasonic, Sharp and many
other manufacturers are all accessible with TekPatrol.
Using a Client/Server device management and control tool, TekPatrol uses both hardware and software
to supervise and control a device over an IP network. Hardware is installed at the supervised device, like
a video projector. The hardware provides for Real-time supervision and control using an Ethernet-based
mini control system called a TekMonitor. The software application called TekManager gathers information
from the TekMonitors and displays it in an easy to read format on an administrator's PC. Having a mini-
control system supervise a device improves reliability and allows for easy control of other equipment, not
just projectors made by a single manufacturer.
Another benefit of the TekMonitor is its ability to supervise equipment by itself, send email notifications
and usage reports to the administrator, or send a security email if the device becomes disconnected. You
do not need to run the TekManager software for TekPatrol to do its job.
Each TekMonitor is programmed using the TekWizard software application making it easy to include room
and device driver information. All programming is provided using simple macros and a driver from our
driver library. You do not need to know any programming language to setup a TekMonitor. If you have a
product that is not listed in our driver library, please let us know and we can easily create one in most
cases.
To control a device, TekPatrol incorporates a software application called TekControl. Unlike other
monitoring and control systems that use a Web server to control a device, TekControl is an application
running from a PC located in the room with the TekMonitor and controlled device. Using a software
application provides extra security. A Web page allows easy access by anyone using a browser, once the
user name and password are broken security is lost.

Description and Installation
Description
The TEK 1 is an Ethernet-based mini control system used to supervise and control video projectors,
plasma monitors, lights and many other classroom or office space devices. Unlike a control system that
requires a programmer, the TEK 1 uses an intuitive step-by-step guide called a TekWizard for
programming.
When monitoring a video projector, the TEK 1 maintains its own lamp and filter timers. The TEK 1
maintains these timers to provide uniformity in reporting and to provide timers for projectors that do not
report these timers. With a TEK 1 it is possible to monitor a device that only has IR control. For projectors
that do report these timers, the TEK 1 reports both its own and the projector’s timers. The filter timer for
the TEK 1 is called Maintenance timer. This timer can be used on any device that may require routine
maintenance like cleaning or filter changes. Both the lamp and maintenance timers are adjustable.
For theft control the TEK 1 maintains a wired connection to the monitored device and if this connection is
removed, the TEK 1 sends a Security Email. Most other monitoring systems rely on serial
communications with the device for theft control. If serial communications is lost, then the monitoring
system sends out an email. Relying on serial communications takes time and may cause false Security
Emails.
Another feature of the TEK 1 is its ability to determine a lamp error even if the projector does not report
errors. This is made possible by determining if the lamp is actually powered on when the projector is
instructed to turn on.

Applications
TekMonitors are not programmed like other control systems using a program language; they are
configured using a PC application called TekWizard. With some IT experience an installer is able to
configure a TekMonitor by following the step-by-step guide in TekWizard. Although there is no
programming, TekWizard does provide for some logic operations in the creation of macros. A macro is
just a list of commands executed by a logic input, software, user or time event. A macro is basically a
group of commands to provide simple automation.
The Logic Inputs generate two types of events that are linked to macros. These input events occur when
the input goes high (open circuit) or low (connection to ground).
These applications provide the system integrator with some concepts of how to apply the TEK 1. Within
TekWizard are templates that coincide with these applications.

12 volt Security Alarm
TekWizard Template: TEKVOX – 12V Alarm
Adding an alarm to a TEK 1 provides extra security for a video projector in a classroom. Most alarms
operate on 12 volts and draw about 500 milliamps. For these types of alarms use a separate 12 volt
power supply and one of the TEK 1 relays to operate the alarm.
Other devices like the room’s PC and monitor can also be protected by TEK 1. This is accomplished by
looping a security wire from one of the unused Logic Inputs on the TEK 1, through the PC and monitor,
and then back to ground on the TEK 1. For someone to remove any of these monitored items they must
first cut the security wire. Cutting the security wire removes the ground from the monitored input causing
an alarm event macro to be executed.
Features
•Internal timers for Lamp, Maintenance, Monthly Usage, Total Usage and System Off
•Detects cut cables for device security
•Email Reports including Device Errors, Monthly Usage and Security Email
•Enables an alarm if the security cable is cut

TEK 1 with Occupancy Detection and Lighting Control
TekWizard Template: TEKVOX - Occupancy1
Occupancy detection for lighting has become a required device in most new installations. To improve the
performance and operation of the lighting control, the TEK 1 has the ability to interface with an occupancy
detector and lighting controls. When motion is detected, the occupancy detector triggers a high event on
Input 2 of the TEK 1. Once motion is no longer detected, the occupancy detector triggers a low event on
Input 2 of the TEK 1.
Macros
Motion –
If System Power is On - The system off countdown timer is stopped and reset.
If System On is Off - The lights go on.

TEKVOX, Inc. – 210.348.6565 – www.tekvox.com San Antonio, TX 78216

No Motion –
If System Power is On - The system off countdown timer runs. If this timer reaches zero, a
system off Macro is called, shutting down the system.
If System Power is Off - The lights go off.
A 2K ¼ watt resistor is used to create an off state for the occupancy detector. When the occupancy
detector is off, its output floats causing the TEK 1 to think it is on. Placing this resistor between the input
and ground creates an off state for the occupancy detector.
From the TekControl software running on the room’s PC a message can be displayed that the system is
about ready to shut down. This allows the user to reset the system timer from the PC. Lights can also be
controlled by the user from the PC.
This method of controlling the lights from the TEK 1 solves the problem with the lights automatically
shutting off when there are only a few people in the room. Also, the TEK 1 can power off other devices
when no one is in the room, thereby saving energy and extending the bulb life of a video projector
Note that when using a Digital Output to control a lighting power pack, the logic is reversed. This means
when power is first applied to the TEK 1 the Digital Output is in an open state, causing the pull-up resistor
to supply current to turn on the power pack. Once the TEK 1 is running, a command is issued to turn on
this output causing the power pack to go off. Using a relay solves this problem.

IR Control
In some installations the display device only has IR control. For these types of installations the TEK 1 is
not able to communicate directly with the device. With a few add-on products the TEK 1 can monitor and
control these types of devices. Below are some suggested add-on type devices and how to use them with
the TEK 1.
It may not be necessary to control the projector. The projector may already be controlled by an IR device.
For these installations all that is required is to determine if the projector is on or off by using only a power
current sensor.
By adding a power current sensor at the display device the TEK 1 can determine if the device is powered
on. Once the TEK 1 knows the device is on, the internal lamp and maintenance timers within the TEK 1
are operable.
Power Current Sensor
•AMX PCS
•Display Devices PCS-02
To control the display device add a programmable RS-232 to IR. The TEK 1 can then be programmed to
communicate with the IR module.

Installation
Installing the TEK 1 does not require any additional mounting hardware like projector or furniture mounts.
The TEK 1 is designed with permanent side flanges and only requires #6 wood or metal screws.
The TEK 1 should not be mounted on a monitored device and should not be easily visible. If the TEK 1 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 1.
Installing a TEK 1
There are two stick-on labels with the serial number and MAC address included with the TEK 1. One of
these labels can be applied to the top of the TEK 1 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 1 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 1, 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 1 and monitored device. (See Wiring Diagrams, page 21)
Connect any other devices that need to be controlled or monitored by the TEK 1. 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.

Configuring the TEK 1
For most installations all that is required is to connect a TEK 1 to the campus network is connect a live
network cable and apply power. A DHCP server on the camps network automatically assign’s an IP
address. Unlike other monitoring type systems, you do not need to run a DOS program or connect to the
TEK 1 using a Web browser. A TEK 1 is configured by an easy to follow application called TekWizard.
Setting a Static IP Address
Before setting a static IP address, always consult with your IT administrator. You should always
keep a list of the devices that are configured using static IP address. Sometimes your IT
administrator may ask you for the MAC address of each TEK 1. To get the MAC address from a
TEK 1 you will either need to connect it to a network and run TekManager or connect to the
serial port on the TEK 1. Two labels are supplied with the TEK 1 containing both the serial
number and MAC address. See Determining the Current IP Address.
Campus Network supports DHCP
Since the network supports DHCP, just connect the TEK 1 to the network. The campus network will then
set the IP and DNS addresses. Configure a phantom TEK 1 using the TekWizard and set an assigned
static IP address or use TekManager and assign the IP address directly to the TEK 1.
Campus Network does not support DHCP
Before installing the TEK 1 you must first set the IP address. There are two ways to set a static IP
address:
1. Temporarily connect the TEK 1 to a router that supports DHCP and run TekManager.
2. Connect a computer to the serial port of the TEK 1 and initiate serial setup.
Using the router method is the easiest and allows you to configure several TEK 1s at or near the same
time. If your router is not connected to the campus network, you can set it to the same Gateway as the
campus network. Doing this allows you to configure the TEK 1s without losing communication with them
once you have changed their IP addresses.
To set a static IP address on a TEK 1 using the serial port
1. Disconnect power from the TEK 1.
2. Connect the serial port of the computer to the serial port on the TEK 1.
3. Run HyperTerminal and select the Com Port and then select Configure.
4. Set Bits per second to (9600), Parity (None), Stop Bits (1) and Flow Control (None).
5. While pressing the lower case ‘x’ key apply power to the TEK 1.
6. Once a message is displayed, release the ‘x’ key and tap the Enter key.
7. Select menu item 0 - Server Configuration.
8. Enter the new IP address in four steps.
9. Select Y for Gateway and enter the new Gateway in four steps.
10. Enter the Subnet or Netmask.
11. Select menu item 9 - to save and restart with the new settings.

Determining the Current IP Address
1. To determine the current IP address from TekManager, select a TekMonitor and view its Network
Settings in the Properties window. Another useful method is to use the PC serial connection as
