How to Configure the Communication between
the TPR and the Printer
Internal IP Network
The TPR must be physically connected to the printer and the
network. Both devices build an internal local network in which the
TPR has a second, local IP address for the internal communication
with the printer. The internal DHCP server of the TPR automatically
configures the IP address of the printer and the related parameters.
Masquerading (NAT)
In order to connect the internal network to the external network,
the address information is rewritten via masquerading.
Masquerading is a type of NAT (Network Address Translation). This
way, data packets are forwarded by the TPR to the printer. The TPR is
integrated in a transparent way and the infrastructure as well as
(possibly) existing output monitoring systems remain unaffected.
You can adjust the settings of the internal network.
