Equitrac Professional TouchPoint Console Installation and Setup Guide
Assign the TouchPoint Console IP Address
Each TouchPoint Console requires a valid IP Address to communicate with the server. When TPC is assigned an IP
Address, TPC will appear in the list of devices in Equitrac Professional’s System Manager as TPC device type.
There are two methods to assign an IP Address to an existing TPC: replace an existing TPC and thereby use existing
settings (including the IP Address), or create a new TPC and set a new IP Address. In the New or Replacement
Console screen, all previously configured TPCs that are known to the server are listed. If replacing a TPC, ensure that
the existing TPC has been taken offline and is no longer using the IP Address.
If setting up a new TouchPoint Console (not previously configured), you must assign an IP Address using one of two
methods: DHCP or Static IP. All methods are described below.
Replace an existing console
To replace an existing TPC, select the name of TPC you want to replace. TPC you are currently configuring will use
the existing IP Address and configuration information already set for that TPC.
1
In the New or Replacement Console screen, press TPC you want to replace.
2
Press OK to copy the existing TPC settings.
The settings for the pre-existing TPC are downloaded from the server. This may take a few minutes. When the
download is complete, the Installation Wizard automatically advances to the Date, Time, and Locale screen. See
