3 - Preparation
Installing the attachment brackets

Installing on or under a desk

By installing the included attachment brackets on this unit, you
can fix it in place on top of or underneath a desk, for example.

To install this unit on or under a desk, use 4 commerciallyavailable screws that are suitable for the material and thicknessof the desk.

1.

NOTE
The width of the attachment bracket openings is 7.1 mm.
See the dimensional diagrams at the end of this manual for
details about the attachment brackets.

2.

Remove the four screws installed in the left and right sidesof the enclosure.

1.

With the two attachment brackets already installed on theunit, align the unit with the desk as desired.

2.

Make marks where the screw holes will be made in the
desk.

3.

Drill pilot holes for the screws in the desk.

4.

Attach the unit to the desk with 4 screws.

Align the included attachment brackets with the enclosure.

Connecting Euroblock plugs

Flat-blade screwdriver
2.5 mm or lessTerminal screw
NOTE
When installing this unit on a desk, align the brackets asshown in the illustration below.
Euroblock plug

Euroblock plug tab

Loosen the Euroblock plug terminal screws.

NOTE
Use a flat-blade screwdriver with a width of 2.5mm or less.
3.

Use the four removed screws to install the attachment
brackets on the unit.

2.

Insert wires.

NOTE
AWG16–AWG28 wires are compatible with the included
Euroblock plugs. Using wires within the compatible range,
trim about 7 mm of the protective sheaths from their ends.
3.

Tighten the Euroblock plug terminal screws.

NOTE
Confirm that the wires cannot be pulled out.
4.

6 TEAC UR-Stream

Use an included wire band to attach the wires to theEuroblock plug tab.

3 - Preparation
Connecting other equipment

Connecting the power

This is an example of UR-Stream connections.

Connect a switching hub that supports PoE Plus power supply
or use a dedicated TASCAM PS-P1220E AC adapter (soldseparately) to power this unit.

Precautions before making connections
oo Carefully read the operation manuals of the devices to beconnected and then connect them correctly.
oo Before making connections, turn this unit and all equipment
to be connected off (standby).
oo Install all connected devices, including this unit, so that they
are powered from the same line. When using a power strip
or similar device, be sure to use one that has high current
capacity (thick cable) in order to minimize fluctuations in
power voltage.

Switching hub that supports
PoE Plus power supply

Supplying power with PoE PlusUsing a category 5E or higher LAN cable, connect the UR-Stream
to a switching hub that supports PoE Plus power supply.
ATTENTION
Do not connect the dedicated TASCAM PS-P1220E AC
adapter when using PoE Plus power supply.
NOTE
To connect to a switching hub that does not support PoE
Plus power supply, use a dedicated TASCAM PS-P1220E AC
adapter (sold separately) to supply power.

Supplying power with a dedicated AC
adapterConnect a TASCAM PS-P1220E AC adapter (sold separately) tothe unit’s DC IN 12V connector the unit.
Use the AC adapter (TASCAM PS-P1220E) to connect a power
supply to the unit as shown below.

ATTENTION
Never use any adapter other than the designated TASCAM
PS-P1220E AC adapter. Use of a different adapter could cause
malfunction, fire or electric shock.

Inserting and removing SD card
Inserting SD card

SD card write protection
SD cards have write-protection switches that prevent writing
new data to them.

Insert an SD card into an SD card slot on the front of the unit toenable it to record.
NOTE
SD cards can be inserted whether or not the unit is on or off.
oo Inserted SD card with the correct orientation.
oo The label should be up and the connector should be inserted
toward the back.

If you slide the protection switch to the “LOCK” position,
recording will not be possible. Unlock cards to enable recording.

Connecting and disconnecting USB
storage
Connecting USB storage
Connect USB storage to the USB port on the back of the unit toenable recording.
NOTE
You can connect USB storage when the unit is on or off.

Removing SD card
After selecting the SD card on the Storage Device Management
screen and pressing the
button, remove the SD card.
(see “Advanced page” on page 22)
ATTENTION
Never remove an SD card when data is being written. Doingso could cause data to be lost.
1.

Press the SD card in gently to make it to come forward.

2.

Pull the SD card out by hand.

8 TEAC UR-Stream

Disconnecting USB storage
After selecting the USB storage device on the Storage Device
Management screen and pressing the
button, remove
the USB storage device. (see “Advanced page” on page 22)
ATTENTION
Never disconnect USB storage when data is being written.
Doing so could cause data to be lost.

4 - Using Streaming Dashboard
Overview

3.

The following screen will appear when TASCAM DISCOVERY
is launched.

To control this unit, use the IP address assigned to it to log inwith the user interface from a browser.

TASCAM DISCOVERYTASCAM DISCOVERY is an application that detects UR-Stream
units on the network. It is available for Windows, Mac and Linuxcomputers.

Streaming Dashboard
Streaming Dashboard is a browser-based user interface.
This interface can control UR-Stream units on the network.
ATTENTION
Install Google Chrome in advance and set it as the default
web browser.

Installing TASCAM DISCOVERY
Install the TASCAM DISCOVERY application that is on the
included USB flash drive.
1.

Connect the included USB flash drive to a computer.

2.

Open the “Setup” folder on the USB flash drive.

3.

Select the file for the operating system being used andinstall TASCAM DISCOVERY.
Windows
Double-click “TASCAM DISCOVERY_App_Windows.exe” toinstall it.
Mac
Double-click the “TASCAM DISCOVERY_App-os-x.dmg” file,and follow the instructions on the screen that appears to
drag the icon and install it.

Connect the computer that will control the UR-Stream tothe network by Wi-Fi or with a wired connection.

ATTENTION
Connect the UR-Stream and the computer that will control itto the same router.
If connections are made through multiple hubs and routers,
the app might not be able to detect devices on the network.
Even when the UR-Stream and the controlling computer areconnected to the same hub or router, detection might not be
possible depending on the model being used.
For further information, please contact your network
administrator.
