In order to clarify all aspects of the download procedure, Figure 9-2 below, is labeled with sample IP
addresses. These sample addresses are referred to in Section 9.1, Normal Download Procedure.

9.1 Normal Download Procedure
Although it is possible to download from a PC to the Loop-V 4200-9 via the Ethernet Port of a Router card
inserted into the Loop-V 4200-9, the simplest way to do any downloading is through the Ethernet Port of the
Loop-V 4200-9 SNMP Card. Complete instructions follow below.
If you are using a single PC setup as depicted in Figure 9-2 above, the PC is acting as a VT-100 monitor as
well as a TFTP server.
Use a UTP/STP Crossover cable to connect the Ethernet Port of the Loop-V 4200-9 SNMP Card to the
Ethernet Port of the TFTP server. (If you are going to download through the Ethernet Port of the Router
Card, then make your connection at that point.)
Use a DB9 cable to connect the front Console Port 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.
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 conversion cable. These cables come
with software which, when loaded in a PC, will allow you to send keyboard commands through the
PC’s USB Port to the DB9 Console Port of the Loop-V 4200-9.
