The t-box allows operators to quickly deploy and configure Technetix DBx products in the field
The t-box is the perfect complement to the Technetix DBx range, it’s a lightweight, small, rugged and rechargeable Wi-Fi enabled configuration unit. It allows anyone a smartphone, tablet or laptop to connect and configure DBx nodes and amplifiers through a touch optimised web application.
The t-box connects to any DBx control module via a USB connection. Once powered on, it starts to broadcast its own secure Wi-Fi SSID. Then you only need to enter the credentials on the product label to log on to the t-box web app.
Configuration wizard, templating and backup features ensure that you can always deploy modifications and new configurations to amplifiers and nodes within minutes of opening the cabinet. Even when strand mounted, the Wi-Fi range on the t-box allows you to configure the DBx from the comfort of your vehicle.
Advantages compared with mobile applications
Mobile device software changes frequently when reliability and continuity are required. The t-box delivers this, no matter what version of Android, iOS or Windows is in use. There is no need for integration testing every time a new update is available.
The DBx configuration wizard, backup and template features allow operators to pre-set configurations for field use, allowing field staff with varying skill levels to deploy DBx configurations on-site.
Using t-box means your handheld device doesn’t need to connect to the network hardware. A rugged, splash-proof design protects the unit from outdoor hazards.
Engineers can use their own personal devices to operate the t-box with no risk of data or privacy breaches, as all activities and configurations are stored on the t-box and not the device.
Compatibility
The t-box can support and configure all our current DBx modules, including optical and compensation settings. The web application works with common browsers like Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge (including mobile versions).
