Quick start

The TC Bar can be connected in just a few steps and used immediately.

The TC Bar can be used either as a stand-alone solution in the meeting room or as a network solution in an existing network structure.


Stand-alone	Network

Connection via USB-C® (see Connecting the TC Bar to a device (stand-alone solution)) Restricted functions are available only via the remote control (see Product overview - remote control) Configurable via local webUI (see Local Web UI (LUI))	Integrated into the corporate network (see Operation as a networked conference system) Configurable via local webUI (see Local Web UI (LUI)) Configurable via central control application (see Control software)

Stand-alone solution

As a stand-alone solution, the TC Bar is directly connected with a device and operated using only a USB-C® connection. Only restricted functions are available in this operating mode (see Operation as a stand-alone solution).
You can use the embedded local WebUI (firmware version ≥ 2.0.0) to quickly and easily configure and control your device.

Network solution

As a unit in the network, the TC Bar can be initially assigned to a control instance and managed via the respective application for seamless integration into your corporate network (see Control software and Operation as a networked conference system).

To install the TC Bar and use it immediately:

1. Unpack the TC Bar

Unpack the TC Bar completely and make sure the delivery includes everything it should (see Scope of delivery).
Remove the protective film attached to the camera lens.
Mount the TC Bar as per the possible mounting options (see Mounting options).

2. Connect the TC Bar to the power supply system.

Insert the plug of the DC power supply unit into the DC IN socket of the TC Bar and guide the cable through the cable sheath (see Connecting the TC Bar to the power supply system and starting it).
Plug the AC power supply unit into the wall socket (see Connecting the TC Bar to the power supply system and starting it).

3. Connect the TC Bar to the PC/MAC via USB

Plug the USB-C® cable into the TC Bar (see Connecting the TC Bar to the power supply system and starting it).

The TC Bar S is a power-consuming PoE+ device (powered device) and can be operated using no more than the network cable. For continuous power supply, we recommend always connecting the power supply unit included in the delivery (see Connecting the TC Bar to the power supply system and starting it).
Plug the other end of the cable of the USB-C® connection into the device used.
The operating system automatically recognizes and installs the TC Bar. Once the installation has completed successfully, the speakers play a brief sound.

Depending on the conference platform used, interactive configuration tips may appear the first time the TC Bar is used.

Note that Bluetooth® is deactivated in the factory settings and can be activated only after the device has been claimed in the control application (see Control software).

The TC Bar has been installed and is ready for operation.
