23 APPENDIX C - Router Activation Procedure
1. Connect a VT-100 Terminal to the Loop-IP 6610 Console Port
Use a DB9 straight cable to connect the front panel Console Port of the Loop-IP 6610 Router to either COM
Port 1 or COM Port 2 of the PC you are using as a VT-100 monitor. It doesn’t matter which Com Port you
connect to.
Straight UTP/ STP RS232 Cable
to PC's COM Port
PC running VT-100 emulation software
Figure 23-1 VT-100 Terminal
Note: Many newer PCs use USB Ports. If your computer has a USB port rather than COM ports
you will need to purchase a commercially available PC USB to DB9 RS232 conversion
cable. These cables come with software which, when loaded into a PC, will allow you to
send keyboard commands through the PC’s USB Port to the DB9 Console Port of the Loop-
IP 6610.
Make sure all communication parameters are correct (ie. baud rate, data bit, stop bit, and interface).
2. Power up the VT-100 and the Loop-IP6610 router.
When your VT-100 terminal and the Loop-IP 6610 unit are powered up, the IP 6610 screen will appear
on your VT-100 monitor.
3. Find your device serial number
You need to obtain the IP 6610 serial number. Key in the command >login operator, then press Enter.
The screen will appear as below.
Note: If password checking has already been enabled for the IP 6610 unit, a correct password will be
required to login as the operator.
