1. Introduction
This document describes all features and the usage of the hardware TCPConv 2. TCPConv
2 is equipped with two USB- and RS232-interface into your local area network (LAN). The
purpose of this hardware is to convert USB or RS232 to Ethernet, in order to provide RS232
or USB devices an extra Ethernet connection.
1.1. Typical Scenario
A typical application is the extension of a network device (i.e. a network printer), by a local
peripheral device.

1.2. Important Features
The main feature of TCPConv 2 is that it has the same IP as the printer connected, which
saves a lot of IP resources. This makes TCPConv can be easily integrated into existing
network environments, without managing the extra IP addresses.
The behaviour of TCPConv 2 can be configured via web front-end. Depending on the con-
figuration, it can be a TCP/IP server or client on ports specified by the user.
Except very few ports necessary to configure the TCPConv 2, it is transparent between
printers and local network. Therefore, it is still convenient to configure the printers, as if
TCPConv 2 were not connected in between.
