General Information 1 General Information 1.1 Purpose The ThinPrint® technology enables the transmission of compressed and bandwidth-optimized print jobs within a network. Print jobs are compressed using the server component of the .print technology, the so-called .print Engine. The server sends the compressed print data to a device with the implemented .print Client. This client then decompresses the print data, transferring it to any printer.
General Information 1.3 Structure of the Documentation Documentation The TPG60 documentation consists of the following documents: Name Content Medium TPG60 User documentation Detailed description of the TPG60 configuration PDF (this document) TPG60 Quick Installation Guide Information about security, hardware installation and the initial operation procedure. Printed (Enclosed in the packaging) The latest documentation as well as software and firmware can be found on the SEH website at www.seh.

In the PDF file, you can jump to this page by clicking the symbol. Bold Established terms (of buttons or menu items, for example) are set in bold. Courier Command lines are set in Courier font. ’Proper names’ Proper names are put in inverted commas 1.4 Support Information If questions remain, please contact our hotline.
General Information 1.5 Basic Terminology Hardware Address The TPG60 is addressable by means of its world-wide unique hardware address. This address is commonly referred to as the MAC or Ethernet address. The manufacturer has defined this address in the hardware of the device. The address consists of 12 hexadecimal numbers. The first six numbers represent the manufacturer, while the last six numbers identify the individual device. Hardware Address 00:c0:eb:00:01:ff Manufacturer ID Device number Fig.
General Information TPG Default Name The TPG name is made up of the two letters 'IC' and the device number. The device number consists of the last six numbers of its hardware address. TPG Default Name IC0001ff Device number Fig. 2: Example: Default name The TPG default name is found on the TPG Homepage, the InterCon-NetTool, or the status page. IP Address The IP address is the unique address of each node in a network, i.e. an IP address may occur only once on a local network.
General Information Subnet Mask With the help of the subnet mask, large networks can be split up into subnetworks. In this case, the user IDs of the IP addresses are assigned to the various subnetworks. The TPG60 is configured not to use subnetworks by default. If you wish to use a subnetwork, you can configure the relevant parameter via the TPG Homepage or the InterCon-NetTool. 1.
General Information 1.8 Saving the IP Address in the TPG60 TCP/IP network protocols require the storing of the IP address in the TPG60 so that the device can be addressed within the network. Once the TPG60 is connected to the network, it checks whether an IP address can be obtained from boot protocols (e.g. DHCP). If this is not the case, the TPG60 assigns itself an IP address via ZeroConf. Different methods for the assignment of the IP address are described in the following.
General Information For this purpose, the TPG60 picks an IP address at random from the address range 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254 which is reserved for ZeroConf and sends a query to the network. If this IP address has already been assigned elsewhere in the network, the TPG60 will receive a message. The TPG60 then sends another query with a different IP address. If the IP address is available, it is saved in the TPG60.
General Information BOOTP The TPG60 supports BOOTP, which means that the IP address of the TPG60 can be assigned via a BOOTP server. Requirements ; The parameter 'BOOTP' has been activated. If the TPG60 is connected, it asks the BOOTP host for the IP address and the host name. The answer of the BOOTP host server, which contains the IP address, is sent as a data packet and saved in the TPG60. ARP/PING By means of the 'arp' and 'ping' commands, you can save the IP address in the TPG60.
General Information Edit the ARP table: Syntax: arp -s Example: arp -s 192.168.0.123 00-c0-eb-00-01-ff Assign a new IP address to the TPG60: Syntax: ping Example: ping 192.168.0.123 The separators within the hardware address that are used in this example correspond to the Windows platform.
