Elatec TCP3 3.0.3.1 Technical Manual page 6

1. Introduction
• Supports OAuth authentication in client mode
• Supports sending data in client mode via SSL TLS1.2 or HTTPS using a self signed certificate or via
customer certificate
• Can be configured over the network via its web browser interface
• Supports Syslog which enables remote monitoring of its health and status
• Supports printing a summary of its configuration settings to an attached printer
• Each Ethernet port is default configured to auto-negotiate 10/100/1000 Mbps full-duplex.
• The supplied TC3Config.exe tool provides a means for finding all TCP3 devices on a network.
• TCP3 Converter firmware can be upgraded over the network via its web browser interface
• The configuration of an attached TWN4 card reader can be upgraded over the network via its web
browser interface
• With the inclusion of an external specification file, TC3Config.exe can discover devices on other
subnets.
• Can be configured directly from the TC3Config tool
• TCP3 firmware can be upgraded over the network via the TC3Config tool.
• The configuration of an attached TWN4 card reader can be updated over the network via the
TC3Config tool.
• Power over Ethernet is an available option for powering TCP3.
• Compliant with California password law SB327.
The main feature of TCP3 is that it can enable any printer to participate in card based authentication along
with the Pull Printing function. Single function printers or older MFPs which do not support the direct
connection of a USB card reader can now be enabled by connecting those devices to TCP3.
TCP3 presents only one MAC address to the building's network infrastructure and requests only one IP
address from the DHCP server. TCP3 behaves similar to a router where the printer connected to TCP3
has its own IP address but to the outside world it appears to use the IP address of TCP3. This means
TCP3 can be easily integrated into existing network environments, without managing extra IP addresses
or paying for extra IT support costs associated with additional IP addresses.
Other than the few ports necessary to configure and operate TCP3, communication is transparent between
the printer and the local network. This makes it convenient to configure the connected printer as if TCP3
was not connected in between.
