Page 3: Overview
Elatec RFID Systems 1. Overview TCPConv is a device, which enables the connection of a USB or RS232 device to a local area network (LAN). Data can be transferred between device and host via LAN/WAN. This enables applications, where peripheral devices such as RFID transponder readers should be controlled via long distances. - Page 4 (6) Reset button TCPConv can restarted with this push button. A restart is identical to a power cycle (= turning on and off the power supply). In order to restore original factory configuration of TCPConv, push the reset button for at least 5 seconds.

Page 5: Operating Tcpconv
Ethernet and a network switch to TCPConv. A peripheral device (e.g. Elatec TWN3 or TWN4 RFID reader) is connected to the TCPConv via RS232 or USB. In this scenario, an ID, which is read by the peripheral device, is sent via TCPConv to the personal computer. -
Page 6: Typical Scenario
An ID is read via a peripheral device, which is connected to TCPConv (either RS232 or USB). This ID is sent via TCPConv and the LAN to the host computer. The host is evaluating this ID and depending on the result releasing and sending a print job to the printer. -
Page 7: Ports
Elatec RFID Systems 4. Ports TCPConv has one RS232 and one USB port. Both ports can be operated at the same time and independent of each other. 4.1 RS232 Port The RS232 port allows connection of many different peripheral devices such as RFID transponder readers. -
Page 8: Administration Of Tcpconv
In order to operate TCPConv in a specific network environment, an appropriate configuration of the device is necessary. For the configuration of TCPConv a program is delivered as part of the developer pack for TCPConv. The program is called TCConfig. -

Elatec RFID Systems 5.4 Logging On to TCPConv On order to do any configuration of TCPConv, the administrator has to specify a name and a password. Name and password can be configured. The default log-on information is name “admin” leaving password empty. -
Page 11: Configuring Tcpconv
There are three ways to restart the device: 1) A power cycle (turning off and on the power of TCPConv). In order to display up-to- date information within TCConfig, the button “Search” should be clicked. -

5.5.3.2 Binding USB Devices TCPConv allows accepting USB devices with specific product ID and vendor ID only. In order to do so, specify according USB product and vendor ID in hexadecimal digits in the dialog. Both product and vendor ID must be specified. - Page 15 5.5.4.1 Configuring a TCP Server By default, TCPConv is configured as TCP server. On the side of TCPConv, this is the easier way to configure the link, because only the appropriate port has to be set up. Depending on the RS232 or...

Elatec RFID Systems 5.6 Restarting TCPConv In order to take effect of any changes having been made to the configuration of TCPConv, it must be restarted. In order to restart TCPConv, there are two possibilities: Press the button “Restart” in the main dialog of TCConfig ... - Page 17 TWN3 or TWN4) via the USB interface of TCPConv to this terminal window of TCConfig. Please note: It is possible to open a terminal window for each of the two ports of TCPConv at the same time. Testing of a connection between TCPConv and TCConfig requires a proper setup network connection.
