VIP 4500 Configuration Using
Tera Term

Initial configuration and property edits of the VIP 4500 are typically accomplished using Venus 7000
software; generally, this approach is the easiest and most practical. Tera Term
®
provides another
method for entering the same parameters and offers the GC (Get Configuration) command, which
produces a readout of current settings and is mostly used for troubleshooting.
