includes 12 megabytes of system files that may need to be
installed. You therefore need a minimum 32 megabytes of
space to install this program for one site. Additional sites
require 2 to 20Mb. per site, depending on site size and the
amount of backups used. During operation, Tec Basic will
require up to 32mb. of free ram to operate efficiently
depending on the size and model of the unit .
With less memory the program may operate, but with
poor performance. 128 MB of RAM is recommended.
This program will only operate correctly in Windows 2000,
Windows XP and Windows Vista (all editions). If you are
unsure, select the “My Computer icon on your desktop and
RIGHT click it. Once the panel is opened, select Properties
and LEFT Click it. A “Systems Properties” screen will open

Tec Basic Installation Instructions
Setup will warn you to Shutdown any running programs.
You MUST shutdown “Microsoft Office” as it will
disrupt the installation.
If you are running the “Office Toolbar”, you MUST close
the Office Toolbar and all it’s applications and you should
close any other applications running to insure a proper
installation. You may or may not, have to turn anti-virus
programs also.
(Installation screens start on page 6.)
Once you have checked that you have the proper Revision,
place the CD ROM disk into your CD-ROM Drive.
4) Choose Directory
Versions of Tec Basic are isolated and protected.
Isolation:
Tec Basic has been rewritten into a Tec Basic version that
allows Microsoft library files it uses to be isolated for it's
own use and not shared with other applications.
Protected:
When the Tec Basic program is activated Library files that
may have been deleted, changed manually or
damaged by a virus are restored automatically by the
computer system, when possible, or the Tec Basic installation CD will be automatically asked for by name so the
computer can reinstall damaged or deleted files.
Setup will warn you to Shutdown any running programs.

Auto Tune Feature
Ver 5.2 Bld 184 and above
Some of our customers have experienced difficulty communicating with our telephone access units. We have found a problem to be the use of phone circuits with long delays. In
order to assist our users, a feature has been added to TEC Basic.
An Auto Tune function has been added to the Communication module.
Each time, during the Call to the unit, the delay time and connected baud rate is measured.
The software then adjusts the communications to these measured rates. There is an indication
of this action during the call in the visible call log (above). It shows the tuning process and
the resultant adjustments. There is no user input required.

Unit Directory Control
Tec Basic incorporates a new style Directory view and
editing system. Note that the Unit Site name is featured at
the top of the screen. This feature is present on each screen
to assist the user. The Directory display is in a Columns
and Rows format showing ALL codes in the directory. The
opening display is sorted in alphabetical order. Additional
help is provided by selecting the “Help” Command button.
The Elevator bars appear when needed and allow the user to
move through the list of names and to view the additional
data for each name. The user may use the mouse arrow to
single click on any code number or name to highlight that
row. This provides a marker on the record chosen to use as
the display is moved to the right in order to display the
additional data.
The user may use the mouse pointer to single click
on the TOP of any column to SORT the display by that
column. If a reverse (Z to A or 9 to 0) order is desired, a
check box is provided above the listing. The user should
select the direction of sort desired, then select the column to
sort by. The user may use the mouse pointer to single click
the sort option and it will toggle from normal to reverse and
back to normal. Gauges are provided near the bottom of the
screen to inform the user of the number of Unit Codes and
the number of Phone Numbers in the Directory. This may
be used to determine the percentage of the Unit capacity
used. In Displays larger than 640 x 480, the user may
enlarge the view by dragging the edges of the directory.
The number of updates to be sent and the number of deletes
(if applicable) are also shown.
♦ NUMBER: This is the Code Number used by the
Unit User to dial the Name shown in the Directory. It
can be configured to show 1 to 6 digits. Internally it is
always stored and used as 6 digits. If set to display
three digits, then the number is dialed using the three
displayed digits.(123456 is displayed as 456). However, Code (000456) would be dialed. This allows it to
appear to allow more than one name to use the same
code. Example: Codes 000234, 001234, 011234 and
101234, all would display 234 showing different names
with the 234 code number. The 000234 phone number
would be dialed. Directory Code Length is set using the
“System CFG” command button or “System
Configuration” under the “Edit “ Menu Selection.
S: (SEND) The ‘Send’ field indicates if this name would
be updated on a ‘Send Updates’ command. Only the
names marked would be sent. When a name is

Access Levels
Access Levels are used to attach
Time Zones to specific Entrances. They
may be mixed in any order.
For example, Time Zone 1 could be assigned to Access level 3.
Time Zones
Times Zones allow the User to set up 8 time slots
in a TEC unit. Each Time Zone is a separate continuous
time slot. The sample zones are configured as shown on the
Time Zone table.
Zone 0 shows a time zone starting at 7 am to 6 pm Monday
through Friday. This would be typical of a factory
building open times.Time Slots must end at midnight. To
set up a Group that has access through midnight, you must
use two Time Zones as shown in the example as Time Zone
3 and Time Zone 4. The days of the week may be chosen
for each Time Zone by ‘Checking’ each day you wish to
use. ‘Check the box again removes the selection. The
Holidays box will allow access on the nine dates entered on
the form. In the examples, Time Zone One allows access
from 6 am through 6 pm, Monday through Friday. Time
Zone Two allows access from 6 am through 6 pm,
Saturday, Sunday and Holidays. Time Zone Six allows
access from 7:45 am through 8:15 am, Monday through
Friday. and Time Zone Seven allows access from 4:45 pm
through 5:15 pm, Monday through Friday. This could be
typical of busy times at a Gate entrance and exit.

Time Zone Wizard
Tec Basic includes a “Time Zone Wizard”
to assist you in setting up your time zones. The
left hand side shows the current settings for the
time zones and the right hand side has the modification tools. In the following example, the user
wanted to setup a time zone to include 8:00 am to
5:00 pm, to automatically open or unlock the front
door. In order to allow the employees time to get
to work and leave after work, the user set the
times in Time Zone 1 to 7:45 am to start and 5:15
pm to stop. The user decided to use Time Zone 1,
Access Level 1 and Access Group 1, just to keep
things as simple as possible. The user selected
the Time Zone Wizard. When the screen appeared, the user
Time Zone Wizard
selected the Time Zone 1 button. The left graph’s moved to
the current settings. Using their mouse, the user moved the Start and Stop pointers to the desired times
and then clicked on the days they wanted the entrance opened. Next the user saved changes in Time
Zone. The left hand graph update to show the current saved configuration.
The user clicked on the “Finished button and returned to the access screen. The user then selected Time Zone 1 to be used in Access Level 1 with Entrance one. Then the user set Access Level
one to be active in Access Group one. Finally, the user set the “Auto Un-lock—Re-Lock for Entrance
1 to Access Group 01. This has the effect of selecting the time zone to unlock the entrance during 7:45
am to 5:15 pm.
Page 22

Access Groups
Access Groups are used to allow groups of
individuals card or PIN access by assigning a level or
combination of levels to their group. Access Group Zero is
predefined as an unlimited group. Group Zero allows
access 24 hours a day, ALL days of the year. Access
Groups are assigned to the individuals in the Directory. If
you do not assign a Group to an individual during the
directory entry, Zero (0) is assigned by default.
The examples provided show only a few ways to combine
levels into a group to allow specific access to certain
individuals. For example in Group Six, Access Levels Zero
(0) and One (1) could be selected to allow a group to have
access seven days a week, 7:00 am to 6:00 pm Mon. - Fri.
and 6:00 am to 6:00 pm Sat, Sun and Holidays and using
all entrances as selected.
Holidays
Nine Holidays may be entered in a TEC Series with
a clock and access control. They are entered as two digits
for the month, a slash, and two digits for the day (XX/XX).
If a Holiday is entered and falls on a Mon -Fri, any group
set with a time zone of Mon - Fri without Holidays will not
have access on the holiday. Further, any group using
access levels with time zones without Holiday access will
not have access on the Holiday.

Automatic Unlock and Re-lock
You may choose to automatically unlock (or open)
and re-lock (or close) any entrance (or gate) using access
groups. The example provided shows Access Group Seven
used to open the Number One entrance once at 7:45 am to
8:15 am and again at 4:45 pm to 5:15 pm. This example
might be an employee gate that automatically opens during
the peak traffic flow. Another example would be to use
Group Five using Level Five and Time Zone Five to keep
open the Second Entrance during normal business hours.

Bulk Loading Information in the Directory
TEC Basic includes a bulk data loader. The
bulk loader can load the following:
1. Phone numbers (Normally used in “No
Phone Bill Systems”)
2. PIN Numbers for Resident/Employee Access
3. Card Numbers to preload a series of cards
prior to issue.
TEC Basic Bulk Loader will allow you to control the increment (sequence step) of any of the
Code Number, Phone number and PIN numbers. The illustrations show examples of bulk
loadings prepared for a TEC Unit. The first
shows an example of bulk loading by column
with a separate card sequence for each column.
Note: the example is showing the following:
1. Code Numbers are incrementing by one.
2. Phone numbers are incrementing by one.
3. PIN Numbers are incrementing by seventeen.
4. Card numbers are incrementing by one.
5. Fifty records are to be modified.
6. Show Load Settings is showing a preview
of what will be entered.
7. If the code numbers already exist, the
new data will be added or existing data
will be replaced. This may be useful to
quickly change all card or PIN numbers in
a system.
You should examine the entries carefully before you select “Enter Data into Directory”.
Once the “Enter Data into Directory” is selected, the changes are made with no undo.
With TEC units, the loader will only load the
first column of cards as that is the limit of TEC
units. The other columns are not applicable
to TECs and are only active when bulk programming CAT units, using Selcom Secured
software, only.

Add TEC Unit Wizard
Tec Basic provides a ‘Wizard’ to help with the installation of a new Unit. It provides a step by
step method of providing the information required and desired. You will need the following
information at hand to ‘setup’ a new unit in the software (See page 38 for a handy work sheet for
arranging this information)

♦
♦
♦
♦
♦
Your Name for the Unit.
Unit Address (optional).
Unit City (optional).
Unit Type and Model.
Unit Phone Capacity.
Unit Code Capacity (If Used).
Unit Phone Number.
You must have a modem installed into your Windows System if you will be using that to
communicate to the Unit. If a modem is properly installed, you will be able to merely SELECT it
in a pull down selector box. If not, you may select it later using the Edit Unit Data selection from
the File menu.
Using the Wizard
The Wizard takes you step by step through the
information required, providing default answers
when applicable. You may go back to correct
any item without reentering the remaining data
you previously entered. A review is provided at
the finish, allowing you to view all the entries at
one time. If something needs to be changed, use
the ‘Previous’ button to go back and correct the
entry. When you have completed the entries, the
‘Finish’ button will enable and when pressed,
sets up the new unit for you.

Setting your Microsoft Windows Telephone Application Programming Interface
( TAPI )
Long Distance Control
Under some versions of windows, Windows TAPI controls do not handle ten digit dialing
and or long distance correctly. For your convenience, the local area code awareness of Windows is
not used in TEC Basic even if your other programs use it.
This means you will directly control the long distance area codes. In TEC Basic, enter (area prefix
suffix) in the Wizard or in ‘Edit CAT / TEC Unit Data Screen. Place the correct number in the Unit
Phone: window. Example for 10 digit local calling: ‘305-555-1212’. Place any special prefix and
all the numbers necessary and TEC Basic TAPI will dial it exactly for you. This feature allows for
10 digit local calling, same area code long distance calling as well as special carrier long distance
calling as in (1010321,13975551212). TEC Basic allows for 32 digits to be placed into the called
number. Spaces, Parentheses and Dashes are not required and not allowed.
Error Control
TEC Basic uses the advanced TAPI interface within
Windows XP/Vista/Win 7. This allows for a modem to be
installed into Windows System and TEC Basic will use it,
without any need of additional modem strings.
TEC Basic may require that error control be turned off
for connecting to older TEC Units with 1200 baud modems.
We are providing the following instructions to turn off error
control. In order to assist you we have provided the following
setup.
(Screens may appear slightly different with different versions
of Windows.)
Using Start - select ‘Settings’ then ‘Control Panel’ then, if
required by other than Windows XP, ‘Control Panel’.

Get Data from TEC Unit
Tec Basic provides a choice selection screen
to choose the information you GET from the TEC
Unit. During transmission the screen reports
Connection Progress, error correction, record
numbers, elapsed time and other information. The
ID and Firmware version of the unit is checked to
insure the proper unit answered.
Choosing ‘Get All’ will get the configuration and
the directory from the unit. You may choose to get
each item individually. Getting any function will
cause the system to disconnect from the unit after
getting that function, to enable the MUI sleep
system to function automatically. The MUI Sleep
box allows you to disable the unit sleep function
when required and will only appear if selected
during setup.
The system re-configures its settings to match the
unit during the GET DATA process. This includes
Unit capacities and number of names to get from or
send to the unit.
Caution:
When “Get Directory” or “Get All” is used,
the items in the Tec Basic directory are updated.
The directory in Tec Basic is NOT erased. Any
codes in Tec Basic and NOT in the Unit remain. A
warning message would occur prior to getting the
data telling the user that updates exist and may be
lost. If these were codes to ADD in an update, the
update flag on the code or codes to update would
NOT be cleared. If these were codes to CHANGE in
an update, the update flag on the name or names to
update WOULD be cleared and the data would
RETURN to what was in the unit.
TEC Basic has a new feature in
Communications called “Autotune”.

Send Data to TEC Unit
Tec Basic provides a choice selection screen to
choose the information you SEND to the TEC Unit. During
transmission the screen reports Connection Progress, error
correction, record numbers, elapsed time and other
information. The system re-configures its settings to match
the unit during the SEND DATA process.
The ID and Firmware version of the unit is checked to
insure the proper unit answered.
Choosing ‘Send All’ will send the Unit configuration and
ALL of the directory data to the unit. You may choose to
send each item individually. Sending Updates will cause
the system to send new and changed directory items only,
then automatically disconnect, providing for a shorter
connection time. The TEC Unit allows you to mark names
for deletion and they will be deleted during an update.
To change relay programming, the welcome
message and other configuration items, you must “Send
Configuration”. You also have the option of changing the
Unit password as you send the configuration to the Unit.
After completing the change, the system enters the new
password into the file automatically. Do not change
passwords while using the MUI functions as the password
will change before connecting to the next unit.
The Multiple Unit Function area allows the operator
to disable the unit clear updates, disable the sleep function
when required and will only appear if MUI functions are
selected during setup. See Page 34 for more detail.
Caution:
When ‘Send Directory” or “Send All” is used, the
directory items in the unit are replaced. Any codes in Unit
and not in Tec Basic are removed. “Send Updates” send
only the codes marked for update. The directory in the unit
is not erased. Any codes marked for update are changed or
added.

Using Multiple Unit Features
The Multiple Unit function allows the operator to control specific
features used with Multiple Unit sites. The features used will
depend on the actual physical configuration . The Multiple Unit
function will only work reliably with the TEC firmware in all
units connected together.
This feature will work with two variations of unit setups.
(Variation 1)
Units connected together on one phone line with the same
directory. Recommended limit is four(4),
Select Multi Unit.
Indicate the number of units to send the same directory or updates
to (2, 3 or 4).
In each unit, set the separate ring counts.
Example
For a site with three units, we suggest setting one unit to two rings,
another unit to four rings and the last unit to six rings. Consult the
technical manual for instructions on using a terminal to make these
adjustments.
Once the ring counts are set, in the Selcom software, Select the unit
to be used for the Send. Go to File - Edit TEC Unit Data. Check
Multi-Unit. Enter the number of units (In our example this is three)
in the No. of Units on MUI window. This sets the software to call
three units and reset the directory updates on the third call.
When the site is called, system will call the first of the units
indicated in the Edit TEC Unit Data Screen one at a time. If you
are sending All or the directory or directory updates, a special
sequence is followed:
1 The first (the one with the lowest ring count) unit is called
first.The ID of the unit is checked to insure the proper unit
answered.
2 This unit (and each following) will be put to sleep at the end of
each transmittal to allow the next unit to answer. The update
flag is not cleared for directory updates until the last unit is sent
or if the clear updates box is checked.
3 A Count-Down window will appear on the Main Screen
showing the units remaining to be called.
Repeat the Send command for each unit allowed as the file used is
common.
Page 36
July, 2010
Using Multiple Unit Features
To obtain the information from units, create separate MUI
Identification names in the option screen (See page 25) using
different names for each unit . This MUI Identification will be placed
on the screen. If you desire to check the contents of the individual
directories, it is recommended to used variation 2 to check the
contents as a single directory will not show you any differences.
(Variation 2)
Units connected together on one phone line with the different
directories (using different unit names for each unit). Recommended
limit is four(4).
Select Multi Unit on each of the units.
Indicate the number of units to send as one (1) on all of the units.
Options screen showing
MUI Identifications
Example
When the site is called, system will call the number of units
indicated in the Edit TEC Unit Data Screen. If you are sending All or
the directory or directory updates, a special sequence is followed:
1 The first (the one with the lowest ID) unit is called first.The ID of
the unit is checked to insure the proper unit answered.
2 This unit (and each following) will be put to sleep at the end of
each transmittal to allow the next unit to answer. The update flag
is not cleared for directory updates unless the clear updates box is
checked sent. This is automatically set when the current unit
becomes the last to send to.
3 Select each unit in turn and repeat the Send command for each
unit.
4 Getting all information from the units is allowed as the files used
are separate. To obtain the information from units, select each
unit in turn and perform the upload or download function desired.
5 The system will automatically put each unit to sleep unless the No
Sleep selection is made.
Do’s and Do not’s
1 Do keep ring counts separated by two (2, 4, 6, 8). Do not use a
ring count of one (1) on any unit .
2 Do keep a list of the order of units to call.
Do not wait more than 1½ minutes between calls as the sleep
function in the units will end. Tec Basic will stop and give you a
message if the Unit Id does not match the expected number.

Helpful Hints and Short Cuts
Helpful Hints
Tec Basic is designed to use the SMALL(Normal Size) font selection in the Control Panel
- Display - Settings - Font Size. Choosing Large fonts will cause some wording not to be
displayed correctly. A “Print View Button is on the data pages. This allows you to print your
data and settings using your default printer.
General
The [TAB] key [forward] and [Shift Tab] key [backwards] also moves from text window to
text window. The [Enter] key behaves like the [TAB] key as well.
The minimum computer specified will operate correctly when Tec Basic is the only program running. Larger computers with more memory will operate faster . Other programs
should be exited first.
Data Files
Data files and the backups are compatible with Microsoft Access Version 7.0 or higher and
may be used to generate reports from the data if desired. Do not convert your data or
add,subtract or rename any fields with the Access Data Manager as it will cause Tec Basic to stop working later.
Remote Data Storage
If you wish to archive your data and/or backup data in another location, copy the files in
your Selcom directory. If you did a standard install, the files are in
C:\Program Files\ Tec Basic\*.mdb . The backup files are in
C:\Program Files\ Tec Basic\Backup\*.md*. Make a copy these files to a location of your
choice.
Version Number
When talking to tech support, your serial number and the version number (shown on the
Help - About menu selection) is very important. The Unit Firmware version is displayed in
the “Edit TEC Unit Data” screen. Check them before you call and have them ready .
Directory
Refresh retrieves a new copy from the disk and resets the records to the name order.
Selecting a name to edit automatically sets the record to be sent to the unit on the next
update.
To print a partial Directory, sort by the type of request, then use the elevator bar to view
what you want to print and press "Print View".
Edit Directory
Return to view button updates the record.
Update Record Button is present to allow user to continue to enter new records as in
Add New Button - complete the record - Update Record Button(save it) - Add New
Button - etc...
In the Directory EDIT screen the triangles located on the lower record bar allow you to
move through the directory. The Left Bar-triangle moves to the first record, the triangle
moves one record towards record one. The right triangle moves one record towards the
last record and the Right Bar-triangle moves to the last record in the directory.

How to get into Terminal Mode
It is occasionally necessary to directly program the contents of the TEC units’ memory. Using the
Terminal selection from the TEC Basic 6 Options menu you can do this.
1) Select the desired site.
2) Click on Options.
3) Click on Terminal.
4) Click on File, then Place Call or click on the telephone icon.
If connecting with a serial connection, you must press the [ESC] key for the unit to prompt you for the
password. If you do not press [ESC], the unit will send transaction data to the terminal as it occurs.
If connecting with a modem, Tec Basic 6 will call the TEC unit and prompt you for the password by
changing the screen from white to black and prompting with the word PASSWORD: This is the
programming password found in your System CFG menu. Key in the 6 digit password and press
“Enter” You should get a selection that says Main Menu and has 9 selections available (Fig 1.). These
selections correspond to the sections in the TEC Manual that came with your TEC product. In the
examples that follow, an example shows Menu 9-1, the Info screen. The next section heading is
referring to the manual section that describes the clock function (Menu 5). The next example shows
setting the clock time which is something that would be required twice a year in order to go on (or off)
daylight savings time.

SELECTIONS MUST BE COMPLETED FOR
CHANGES TO TAKE EFFECT.
