devices are connected. The Ethernet ports can be thought of as windows into the device, through which the single
TesiraFORTÉ X Dante interface is visible - there is not a unique Dante interface on each network port. Only 1 link is
required from TesiraFORTÉ X to a Dante network (NOTE: the connecting port must not supply PoE to the TesiraFORTÉ
X). Contact Biamp support at support@biamp.com with your network topology requirements.
Up to (3) TC-5 can be used to add Dante-capable ports to a TesiraFORTÉ X (always connect P1 of the TC-5 to P2-5 of
TesiraFORTÉ X). A TC-5D is not needed. The Dante I/O interface is hosted in the TesiraFORTÉ X.
To manage connected Dante endpoints, a PC running Dante Controller can be attached either directly to the
TesiraFORTÉ X on ports 2-5, or to port 2-5 through a separate switch (NOTE: the connecting port must not supply PoE
to the TesiraFORTÉ X).
Some firewall and VPN software packages have been observed to block Dante Controller's ability to discover the
TesiraFORTÉ X Dante endpoint, or if it is discoverable, to block responses to queries of its device attributes and routing.
Pausing or disabling the firewall or VPN software allows Dante Controller discovery and querying to behave normally. In
the firewall settings it may be necessary to allow specific ports including 8751, 8800, 55123, and 65117. See Which
network ports does Dante use? for more details.
If control commands for LED color changes need to be sent to a Dante device the Network Command String block
may be used.
USB X
TesiraFORTÉ X has a type B USB port which may be configured as
a mono 1x1 speakerphone or stereo 2x2 channel audio input/
output. USB audio uses a 48kHz sample rate with 16-bit or 24-bit
resolution. The USB bit rate is auto-negotiated with the host
computer. (FW release 4.0 supported only 24-bit connections)
When manually configured in either the 1x1 or 2x2 speakerphone
options, the USB port supports HID mute sync for use with UC
platforms, and supports AEC offloading for UC platforms which
support the option.
When auto-configured with Biamp Launch, TesiraFORTÉ X will present a mono 1x1, 48kHz 16-bit or 24-bit
speakerphone as its USB connection. In the Launched 1x1 speakerphone configuration, the USB port supports HID
mute sync for use with UC platforms, and supports AEC offloading for UC platforms which support the option.
A Windows 10 update seen on some systems has added Speakerphone audio signal
enhancement feature which is enabled by default. This has been seen to be detrimental
to USB audio resulting in added noise and very low transmit levels. Disabling the feature
in the Advanced options of the Speakerphone audio settings resolves the issue.
