ComplianceStatements,Certifications&UserInformation
FCCComplianceStatement
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has established rules which permit this device to be directly
connected to the telephone network. Standardized jacks are used for these connections. This equipment should
not be used on party lines or coin lines.
If this device is malfunctioning, it may also be causing harm to the telephone network; this device should be
disconnected until the source of the problem can be determined and until repair has been made. If this is not done,
the telephone company may temporarily disconnect service.
The telephone company may make changes in its technical operations and procedures; if such changes affect the
compatibility or use of this device, the telephone company is required to give adequate notice of the changes.

RAWING NO. LP1087-A
If the telephone company requests information on what equipment is connected to their lines, inform them of:
The telephone number that it is connected to,
The Ringer Equivalence Number 0.3,
The USOC jack required RJ11, and
The FCC Registration Number 34579-MD-E
Items (b) and (d) are indicated on the label. The ringer equivalence number (REN) is used to determine how many
devices can be connected to your telephone line, In most areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices on any one line
should not exceed five (5.0). If too many devices are attached, they may not ring properly.
In the event of equipment malfunction, all repairs should be performed by our Company or authorized agent. It is the
responsibility of users requiring service to report the need for service to our company or one of our authorized agents.
UserComplianceInformation
If this equipment causes interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
In order to meet FCC emissions limits, this equipment must be used only with cables that comply with IEEE 802.3.
If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for additional
suggestions.
The user may find the following booklet prepared by the Federal Communications Commission helpful:
“How to Identify and Resolve Radio-TV Interference Problems”.

2.1 Mounting the VT-MODEM-4
The VT-MODEM-4 snaps onto standard DIN rail (DIN EN 50022) or is mounted to a flat panel using #6 or #8
screws. See the image below. The modem can be installed in any orientation, directly adjacent to other DIN rail
components or in any convenient location within the enclosure. The modem should be installed within 6 feet of the
device it will be connected to.
For DIN rail mounting, hook the top, rear of the modem onto the top edge of the DIN rail. Using a small flathead
screwdriver, pull down on the spring-loaded tab on the bottom of the modem and push the modem back against the
rail. Reverse these steps to remove the modem. See the image below.

Use the Sixnet
®
RS232 cable (VT-CABLE-MDM, which is 6 feet in length) or an equivalent cable to connect the
modem’s RS232 port (DB9 Male cable end) to the RS232 port on the SixTRAK
®
Gateway, VersaTRAK
®
RTU, or
PC (DB9 Female cable end). As shown in the image below, the VT-CABLE-MDM is a straight through serial
communications cable suitable for connecting a DTE device (PC, Gateway or VersaTRAK) to a DCE device (VT-
MODEM). For IPm
®
and ST-GT-1210 stations, use a straight-through Ethernet cable (not supplied) and the RJ45
to DB9 male adapter that comes with the station.
Cable requirements for PLCs and other devices may be different. Refer to the PLC or other device’s
documentation for cable pin-outs. Some PLC cables are documented in the Technical notes provided by Red Lion
technical support.
Note: The technical notes are not listed here.

Modem Configuration Drawing No. LP1087-A
2.3 Modem Configuration
2.3.1ConfiguringaVTMODEM4
All VT-MODEM models are factory configured to use the default communication settings for Sixnet
Stations. If a
VT-MODEM-4 is connected to a PLC, PC or other non-Sixnet device, then it may be necessary to reconfigure the
modem. To modify these parameters use the VT-MODEM Setup Wizard (v2.00 or later) located at
www.redlion.net/resources/software/sixnet-software/automation-devices-software-firmware
. The parameters can
also be modified using a Windows
®
terminal program.
2.3.1.1 ATCommandStringAtPowerup
Upon power-up, a Sixnet station can send a command string to a VT-MODEM-4. This capability can be used to
assure that the modem is set to a particular mode of operation, such as auto answer mode. Refer to the “Setting
Modem String” topic in the Sixnet I/O Tool Kit program’s online help for information on this capability. The Sixnet
Station can send any standard AT command.
2.3.2ConfiguringaVTMODEM4asanExternalModemonaPC
The VT-MODEM-4 can be connected directly to a PC. The modem will need to be installed in Windows prior to use.
Here are instructions to install the modem in most Windows Operating Systems.
2.3.2.1 ModemInstallationinWindows®10
1. Connect the DC power, communications cable (VT-CABLE-MDM or equivalent) and telephone line as
described above.
2. In the search box next to the Windows button type “Phone and Modem” and select the Phone and Modem in
Control Panel.
3. In the Modems tab, click the “Add” button. Do not select the “Don’t detect my modem, I will select it from a
list”. Instead, click Next and allow Windows to search the com ports and detect the modem.
4. Windows should find a modem called Standard Modem. Click Next and Windows will complete installation of
the Standard Modem. (Alternatively, click Change and select “Standard Modem Types” from the Manufactur-
ers list, and “Standard 28800 bps Modem” from the Models list.)
5. To verify that the modem has been installed, go to the “Phone and Modems” in Control Panel, then go to the
“modems” tab. The modem should be listed as either a “Standard Modem” or a “Standard 28800 bps Modem”
depending on the steps followed above.
6. Upon re-booting the machine, Windows may still find the VT-MODEM-4 as new hardware. If this happens,
select “Do not install a driver (Windows will not prompt again)”.
