5. Configuration via TCP3 Config
We recommend that each TCP3 device be first sampled to determine which model of TWN4 reader is
attached to insure the proper configuration file is sent to each one. Once the correct .bix file is available,
select all of the converters whose attached readers are to be upgraded.
Once again select the "Firmware Upgrade"Button from the TCP3 Config tool bar then navigate to the TWN4
firmware or configuration file. Note that the default file type is .zip so we need to select the drop down as
shown in Figure 5.13 and select .bix.
Select "Open" and the TWN4 file will be sent to the selected converter(s). Progress will be reported in
the status window. It takes roughly 15 seconds per TCP3 for the converter to accept the .bix file and
for the card reader to be upgraded. Status is also captured in a TC3Config log file located in the Docu-
ments/TCP3Config directory. This feature enables users to update a fleet of TWN4 readers in a matter of
minutes
