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.
The TPG60 (ThinPrint®Gateway60) contains a completely integrated
ThinPrint® .print client. This ThinPrint .print client allows you to
receive and decompress print data. The TPG60 supports the decoding
of print data that was encrypted via SSL. The TPG60 also supports
the features .print AutoConnect and .print Connection Service.
• The feature .print AutoConnect allows you to automatically
create the required printer objects for the relevant client on the
server. .print AutoConnect will automatically connect all
selected printers on the server with a ThinPrint® port; provided
that templates exist.
• The .print Connection Service allows you to print to .print
clients, that are found behind a firewall, for example. This allows
the connection via masked networks as well as the assignment
of the relevant print job to the respective end device.
1.2 System Requirements
The TPG60 has been designed for the use in TCP/IP-based networks.
A ThinPrint® server must be integrated within this network. The
network printers involved must support socket printing. If you want
to use the .print Connection Service, you need a license.

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. The system
administrator usually assigns the IP address. The address must be
saved in the TPG60 to make sure that it can be addressed within the
network.
Host Name
The host name is an alias for an IP address. The host name uniquely
identifies the TPG60 in the network and makes it easier to
remember.
Gateway
Using a gateway, you can address IP addresses from external
networks. If you wish to use a gateway, you can configure the
relevant parameter via the TPG Homepage or the InterCon-NetTool.

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.
1.6 Safety Regulations

General Information
1.8 Saving the IP Address in the TPG60
TCP/IP network protocols require the storing of the IP address in the
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.
• ’DHCP’ Öꢀ11
• ’ZeroConf’ Öꢀ11
• ’InterCon-NetTool (IP Wizard)’ Öꢀ12
• ’BOOTP’ Öꢀ13
• ’ARP/PING’ Öꢀ13
DHCP
The TPG60 supports DHCP, which means that the IP address of the
TPG60 can be assigned dynamically via a DHCP server.
Requirements
; The parameter 'DHCP' has been activated.
After the hardware installation, the TPG60 asks a DHCP server for an
IP address by means of a broadcast query. The DHCP server identifies
the TPG60 on the basis of its hardware address and sends a data
packet to the TPG60.
This data packet contains, among others, the IP address of the
TPG60, the default gateway, and the IP address of the DNS server.
The data is saved in the TPG60.
ZeroConf
If no IP address can be assigned via boot protocols, the TPG60
assigns itself an IP address via ZeroConf.
Requirements
; The parameter 'ZeroConf' has been activated.
TPG60 User Manual
11
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
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.
If you wish to use an IP address different from the one assigned via
ZeroConf, you can save a freely definable IP address in the TPG60
later on.
InterCon-NetTool (IP Wizard)
You can easily enter the desired IP address and save it in the TPG60
using the IIP Wizard of the InterCon-NetTool, see: ’Administration
via the InterCon-NetTool’ Öꢀ17.
The IP Wizard helps you to configure the TCP/IP parameters, e.g. the
IP address. You can choose between the manual configuration and
the automatic configuration via boot protocols.
Saving the IP address via the InterCon-NetTool in networks with
routers is only possible if the router forwards multicast requests and
if network devices are searched for via multicast.
Requirements
; The TPG60 is connected to the network and the mains voltage.
; The InterCon-NetTool is installed on your local system.
Proceed as follows:
1. Start the InterCon-NetTool.
2. Mark the TPG60 in the print server list.
The TPG60 is displayed in the print server list under 'ZeroConf'
with an IP address from the address range 169.254.0.1 through
169.254.255.254, which is reserved for ZeroConf.
3. Select Installation – IP Wizard from the menu bar.
4. Follow the instructions of the Wizard.
ª The settings are saved.

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.
If the TPG60 already has an IP address, the 'arp' and 'ping'
commands cannot be used to save a new IP address. However, an IP
address from the address range 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254
which is reserved for ZeroConf can be overwritten by means of the
'arp' and 'ping' commands.
Use the 'arp' and 'ping' commands to save the IP address if your
network has no superordinate management of IP addresses, such as
a DNS server.
The 'arp' command is used for editing the ARP table. The 'ping'
command transfers a data packet containing the IP address to the
hardware address of the TPG60. If the data packet has been
successfully sent and received, the TPG60 permanently saves the IP
address.
The implementation of the 'arp' and 'ping' command depends on the
system used. For more information, please read the relevant section
in the documentation of your operating system.
Requirements
; The 'ARP/PING' parameter has been activated.

7.5 How Does the TPG60 Authenticate Itself in the
network via EAP-TLS?
The IEEE 802.1x standard provides methods for authentication and
authorization in networks. Within the scope of the IEEE 802.1x
standard, the TPG60 supports the authentication protocol EAP-TLS.
You can verify the identity of the TPG60 using the authentication
method EAP-TLS.
EAP-TLS offers a highly cryptographic authentication of the client in
the network. Both the client and the server exchange cryptographic
certificates to verify their identities. The network components use a
RADIUS server for authentication purposes. As for the security
protocol EAP-TLS, the RADIUS server is integrated into a PKI (Public
Key Infrastructure).
The EAP-TLS method works similar to a SSL connection where the
browser uses a certificate to authenticate itself to a server (or the
server to a browser). In this process, a method is applied that both
sides can handle.
EAP-TLS describes a certificate-based authentication method via a
RADIUS server. For this purpose, certificates are exchanged between
the TPG60 and the RADIUS server.

If you want to use certificates, it is advisable to protect the TPG60
by a password so that certificates cannot be deleted by
unauthorized persons; see ’How to Protect the TPG60 against
Unauthorized Access? (Password Control)’ Öꢀ55.
Which Certificates
are available?
Both self-signed certificates and CA certificates can be used in the
TPG60. The following certificates can be distinguished:
Self-signed certificates have a digital signature that has been
created by the TPG60. If a self-signed certificate is used, the
ThinPrint® server cannot print via SSL. A CA certificate is mandatory
to print via SSL.
CA certificates are certificates that have been signed by a
certification authority (CA).
The authenticity of the CA certificate can be verified by means of a
so-called root certificate issued by the certification authority. The
root certificate is stored on an authentication server in the network.
Upon delivery, a self-signed certificate (the so-called default
certificate) is stored in the TPG60. It is recommended that you
replace the default certificate by a self-signed certificate or CA
certificate as soon as possible.

9.2 How to Configure Dynamic Firmware Updates?
Specify a directory on the file server. The directory contains the
current firmware files.
At each restart, the TPG60 verifies the version of the firmware files.
If the TPG60 detects a higher version, this version will be installed
automatically on the TPG60.
The dynamic firmware update cannot be used to save an earlier
version of the firmware on the TPG60. In this case use the standard
firmware update.
Requirements
; The TPG60 is turned on and visible in the network.
; The file server on which the firmware files are stored either uses
the ’anonymous login’ or the TPG60 is set up as user on the file
server.
