Transform Smart Classroom Deployment With TENDZONE TCN103 All-in-One Terminal

The device integrates matrix, audio, amplifier, networking, and more. If a classroom only needs to upgrade part of its equipment, would the other functions be wasted? Can we purchase just the core module?

Answer: The TCN103 adopts an all-in-one design to provide a cost-effective, low-complexity solution for new construction or renovation projects. Compared to purchasing separate independent devices such as a switch, audio processor, amplifier, and central control host, the integrated TCN103 offers lower total cost, less cabling, and easier commissioning. If you already have some equipment, you can still use the TCN103 as a central processing unit and flexibly utilize only part of its functions (for example, using only audio processing and amplification while bypassing the video matrix). Its software configuration supports enabling/disabling functions, so no waste is incurred.

The TCN103 integrates a PoE Gigabit switch. However, classroom devices like IP cameras and wireless APs have different power requirements. What is the maximum power per PoE port? What is the total PoE power budget? Does it support both 802.3af and 802.3at standards?

Answer: The built‑in PoE switch of the TCN103 complies with IEEE 802.3af/at standards. Each port can provide up to 30W (PoE+), and the total PoE power budget is 120W. This is sufficient to simultaneously power four standard PoE devices (such as classroom PTZ cameras, wireless APs, IP phones, or PoE microphone receivers). You don't need to deploy additional power outlets, greatly simplifying classroom cabling. The power allocation per port can be monitored and adjusted in real time via the web‑based management interface.
