Accessing Control Surfaces

Once the computer is prepared for communication, use the File Menu or Network Bar to Connect To Network. This produces a System Connect dialog, allowing the appropriate system to be selected from the System List.

Send Control Surfaces, Update User Accounts, and Clear Control Surfaces may require an 'Administrator' password if the Tesira system has been password-protected. The Administrator password can be either the 'Designer' level or 'Administrator' level password from the Tesira system design itself (not the Biamp Canvas file).
