Safety Regulations
TPGs are network devices for use in office environments. The TPG-125 is used in
TCP/IP networks.
Before starting the initial setup procedure and during the operation of the TPG,
please note the following safety regulations. Their purpose is to protect yourself
and others from personal injuries, and avoid damage to the equipment.
Read the documentation and make sure that your system meets the
requirements listed therein.
Avoid contact with humidity or liquids.
The device must only be connected and operated if it is in perfect condition.
Make sure that no-one steps on or stumbles over the cables.
If the supplied power cord cannot be used in your country, acquire an
appropriate power cord that suits national provisions. For more information,
please consult your retailer.
Do not connect a telephone cable to the RJ-45 connector. The RJ-45
connector may only be connected to SELV voltages. For the connection to the
RJ-45 connector only STP cabling (category 5 or better) may be used. The
shielding must fit flushly to the connector.
The device must only be operated using the power pack included in the
package.
Only use a certified USB cable (< 3 m) listed at www.usb.org.

Hardware Installation
The TPG-125 supports communication between up to twelve network printers

Finding the TPG-125 in the Network
Once the TPG-125 is connected to the network, it checks whether an IP address
can be obtained from the boot protocols BOOTP or DHCP. If this is not the case,
the TPG-125 assigns itself an IP address via ZeroConf from the address range
(169.254.0.0/16) which is reserved for ZeroConf.
The 'InterCon-NetTool' has been developed by SEH Computertechnik GmbH for
the administration of SEH devices. By means of this tool you can find the TPG-
125's IP address and, if necessary, assign a suitable IP address to the TPG-125, as
described below.
’Installing and Starting the InterCon-NetTool’ 10
’Finding the TPG-125 (Determining the IP Address)’ 11
’Changing the IP Address’ 11
The client, printer and TPG-125 must be assigned to the same local network
segment.
Installing and Starting the InterCon-NetTool
Proceed as follows:
1. Download the installation file for the InterCon-NetTool from the homepage
of the SEH Computertechnik GmbH:
http://www.seh-technology.com/services/downloads/
download-thinprint-gateways/tpg-125.html
2. Start the InterCon-NetTool installation file.
3. Select the desired language.
4. Follow the installation routine.
The InterCon-NetTool will be installed on your client.
5. Start the InterCon-NetTool on your client.
