5 Loop-IP6610 Setup
5.1 Setting Up the IP6610
5.1.1 VT-100 Monitor Connection
In order to properly set up the set up the Loop-IP 6610 you will need a VT-100 Monitor. A VT-100 Monitor is
a PC running emulator software. Use a DB9 cable to connect the front Console Port of the IP 6610 to either
Com Port 1or 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-IP 6610.
