5.
From the Property window’s Terminal page, select ANSI or VT100 for Terminal Type and click OK.
6.
If you are using the NPort 6610/6650, you may power it up at this point. If you are using the NPort 6150,
6250, or 6450, hold down the “grave accent key” (`) while powering it up, as shown below. Note that the
grave accent key (sometimes called “backwards apostrophe”) is NOT the apostrophe key—it is the key
usually found next to the number 1 key.
The NPort 6000 will then automatically switch from data mode to console mode.
7.
If the NPort 6000 has been set up for password protection, you will be prompted to enter the password.
After you enter the password, or if password protection was not enabled, you will be prompted to select the
terminal mode. Press 1 for ansi/vt100 and then press ENTER.
8.
The main menu should come up. Once you are in the console, you may configure the IP address through the
Network menu item, just as with the Telnet console. Please refer to steps 4 to 11 in the Telnet Console
section to complete the initial IP configuration.
