Introduction 

The service tool for the S6000 radio series MF/HF devices is made available by a built-in 
web server in the radio. The service tool can be accessed from a computer connected to a 
LAN  shared  with  the  device  and  is  displayed  in  an  internet  browser  with  no  additional 
installation  of  software  required.  Currently  we  do  not  guarantee  full  support  for 
Microsoft Internet Explorer, but most HTML5 enabled browsers are supported.
