Head Outside of Computer 

If you prefer not 

to 

install the control head 

into 

your 

computer, 

if you don’t have any spare drive bays for example, an accessory kit 

(P/N 

505ECH) is available that allows the control head 

to 

sit on a desk top. This kit includes a finished 

(painted) 

cover 

for 

the control head, rubber mounting feet and 

cable that connects the 

RJ- I2  

port on the rear panel of the transceiver 

to 

your computer’s serial port.  When this 

RJ- I 2  

cable 

is 

used, the 2-port junction panel and jumper cable described on the previous page are not 

used. 

Note: 

The 

cables supplied 

with 

the 

505DSP 

allow for m

ounting 

the 

control 

inside 

the computer 

drive 

bay  only.  Order the 

505ECH

the 

505DSP) and the optional
