Authentication / Release Station TCP3 (exemplary illustration) The main purpose of the TCP converters is to enable RFID authentication and access control for devices that lack a USB port, from older single-function printers to industrial robotics. They can be connected on one end to a Local Area Network (LAN) and on the other end to an RFID reader via USB cable. When the user presents a card to the reader, the information is sent over the network to a local server and depending on the response, a print job can be released or, in the example of industrial robotics, operator authorization granted. ELATEC RFID readers enable organizations to extend the use of their employee identification badge to authenticate for applications beyond physical access. This includes most multi-function printers and some single-function printers. Unfortunately, not all printers and devices have support for the direct connection of a USB proximity card reader, such as those with no USB port. In these situations, the ELATEC TCP3 authentication / release station extends ID card-based capabilities such as authentication and pull printing to any printing device regardless of the manufacturer, make or model. Special features: + + + + + + + + + Supports the direct connection of a USB proximity card reader Extends use of employee identification badge to authenticate and provide access control Minimizes IT support costs associated with additional IP or MAC addresses while consuming only one network drop from its host port Can act as an Ethernet network router Enables user authentication and access control for devices that lack a USB port Allows simultaneous communication of print data and printer status at gigabit speeds Configuration can be saved for later usage on other TCP3s thus saving expensive man hours Supports USB 3.0 and gigabit Ethernet networks Optionally available with Power-over-Ethernet as the source of power © 2023 – ELATEC GmbH –TCP3 data sheet – DocRev04 – 11/2023
