Intended Use - Elatec TCP3 User Manual

2 INTENDED USE

The primary use of a TCP3 converter is to provide an on-ramp for USB data to reach a network server which implements authentication
and optionally a Pull Printing feature. TCP3 can be configured as a two-port network router that is designed to be connected between
a network printer and a print server. TCP3 is equipped with two USB 3.0 ports. A card reader or keypad can be connected to either or
both of these two ports and can be used to send data to the authentication server. This is typically used to enable card-based
authentication and to release print jobs from the print server to the attached network printer. TCP3 can also be used in an industrial
setting to enable card-based authentication for industrial robots or other manufacturing equipment.
The product is for indoor use and may not be used outdoor.
Any use other than the intended use described in this section, as well as any failure to comply with the safety information given in this
document, is considered improper use. ELATEC excludes any liability in case of improper use or faulty product installation.
