Using Radio Configuration Software
If you already have software that you wish to download into the
transceiver, Radio Configuration Software (MDS P/N 03-3649A01)
may be used to perform the installation. (This software is referred to as
“EL705” on the InSite 6.4 or higher CD.) To use this method, proceed
as follows:
1. Connect a PC to the radio’s
DATA INTERFACE
port via a DB-9 to
DB-25 adapter (MDS P/N 01-3683A01 or equivalent). If desired, an
adapter cable may be constructed from scratch using the wiring
diagram shown in
.

2. Run the Radio Configuration software. (Click on the opening screen
or press a key to activate the program.)
3. Under the
SYSTEM
menu, select
RADIO SOFTWARE UPGRADE
.
Follow the prompts and online instructions to locate the desired
software and complete the upgrade. The radio’s
PWR
LED flashes
rapidly to confirm that a download is in progress. The download
takes about two minutes.
NOTE:
If a software download fails, the radio is left unprogrammed
and inoperative. This is indicated by the
PWR
LED flashing
slowly (1 second on, 1 second off). This condition is only
likely if a power failure occurred to the computer or radio
during the downloading process. The download can be
attempted again when the fault has been corrected.
