Installation site

The following additional cables and wire are required to install the 5100/6100 VDR with other
internetworking equipment:

• serial cable (DB-9 male to DB-25 female)

• straight-through cable (RJ-45 with boot cover)

• grounding wire

Installation site

Vpacket 5100/6100 VDRs are designed to be installed on a wall, within a standard 19-inch (48.26 cm)
rack, or on a desktop. You should observe these guidelines:

• Ensure that the side of the unit with the fans (right-hand side panel if you are facing the unit
from head-on) is not placed in the top-most position; this would defeat the air-flow and
encourage overheating.

• Collocate the punchdown panel and voice ports.

• Ensure sufficient clearance for airflow and cable routing. The LEDs on the front panel should be
easily visible and cables to the connectors on the back panel should be easily accessible.

• Ensure that the indoor room temperature does not exceed 50°C (122°F).

• Maintain the 5100/6100 VDR by keeping the unit clean and free of dust and other
contaminating particles before, during, and after installation.

To access the command line interface (CLI) through the management console port (located on the
back panel of the unit), you need to connect a terminal or PC that is running emulation software to
the 5100/6100 VDR. After connecting to the management console port, configure the emulation
software as follows:

• Bits per second: 57600 baud

•Data bits: 8

• Parity: none

• Stop bits: 1

• Flow control: none

If you are connected locally, you can telnet to the default Ethernet IP address (192.168.0.254) to
access the CLI.
