6. Basic Operation
When powered on, the VP6800 boots automatically and illuminates within about five seconds. For
development purposes, use cable P/N 80159217-001. Plug the 12-pin Molex connector into the back
of the VP6800, and supply 5VDC 2A power (via cannon connector at the powered DB9 connection)
using an ID TECH P/N AC0005R-26 or equivalent power supply. Optionally also connect a standard
Ethernet cable between the RJ45 ports on the back of the VP6800 and the network port of the host
system.
