Chapter 1: About TouchPoint Console
Configuration Overview
In general, configuring TPC to work with Equitrac Professional 5.2 or later follows this workflow:
1
Physical setup and basic TPC local configuration
Perform the physical setup and connections. Your copier technician will attach the copy control cable to the output
device. You can then attach the remaining cables, power up TPC and run through the Installation Wizard to get
TPC communicating on the network.
Ensure that you record the IP Address of the DCE server. You will need this information to perform local TPC
configuration. If using static IP addresses, also ensure that you have list of IP Addresses, and a method of recording
which IP Address will map to which physical device.
Instructions to complete these tasks are available in this Installation guide. See
2
Upgrade the TPC platform and application firmware
TPC ships with default version of the platform and application firmware. Upgrade to the latest versions prior to
performing server-side configuration.
Instructions to upgrade firmware are available in this Installation Guide. See
3
Server-side global TPC configuration and device assignment
You must configure TPC configuration sets within Equitrac Professional 5.7, assign a configuration set to each
TPC, and assign each TPC to a physical device within System Manager. There are also a few global TPC options
that you need to set that determine system-wide behavior. If using card readers with TPC, you must also configure
the card reader settings on the server.
Instructions to complete these tasks are available in the
Equitrac Professional Administration Guide
. Refer to
chapter "Configuring TouchPoint Consoles".
4
Additional local configuration
After the server-side configuration is complete, you can then configure additional local TPC such as fax options,
display and audio settings, etc.
Instructions to perform this additional configuration are located in this Installation Guide. Fore more
