3. Operating TCP3

3.1 Typical application

A typical application is to extend the feature set of a network device (i.e. a
connection of a local peripheral device such as
network printer), by enabling
a card reader or keypad.
3.2 Power up TCP3
TCP3 is offered with either a 5-volt wall power supply or Power over
Ethernet (PoE).
As TCP3 powers up, its operating status can be determined through the
LED panel located on the face of the unit. The converter typically takes
45 seconds to boot up. This time will be extended by up to two additional
minutes if there is no host network connection as the converter continually
attempts to connect.
The operation mode of the device can be determined based on a
combination of LED signals. Here are a few of the possible states.
• "Power" LED displays Green when power supply is connected and orange
if there is a power fault.
• "Ready" LED displays Green in normal operation and can turn off during
certain conditions (refer to the Technical Manual).
• "Busy" LED displays Red when the device is initializing. It will blink during
a software upgrade or when the input button is pressed. It is off at other
times.
