8.1 Performing Network-Wide Remote Diagnostics
Diagnostics data from a remote radio can be obtained by connecting a
laptop or personal computer running GE MDS diagnostic software, such
as MDS PulseNET or MDS InSite to any radio in the network. InSite is
designed for operation with a serial-based (COM1) connection, unless
using a terminal server. PulseNET is designed to operate with the
radio’s Ethernet port. Figure 41 shows a sample serial arrangement for
performing network-wide remote diagnostics.
