TYPICAL APPLICATION

A typical application is to extend the feature set of a network device (i.e. a network printer), by enabling connection of a local peripheral
device such as a card reader or keypad.
5.2

POWER UP

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.
•
"Status" LED displays Green when all conditions are normal. It will display red if there is a loss of the host network and orange if it
is not able to communicate with the printer.
