Programming:
The LINK900 radios supplied with H49001, H49004, and H49008 are identical and
interchangeable. However, the programming in them will vary depending on the function of the
radio. The LINK900 radio located at the MIM / TWI will always be programmed as the Master
(M) radio.
LINK900 radios are programmed using the GE MDS Element Manager application which runs on
Microsoft Windows
OS computers. The software can be downloaded at this address:

The programming cable (GSP-MDS-PRGCBL) is also needed, which is composed of a proprietary
cable and 9-Pin to RJ-11 adapter.
Connect the cable to the radio using the RJ-11 connector and connect the serial adapter to the
computer. Please note that if the computer does not have a serial port and a USB-to-Serial
adapter is used, the COM port used by the adapter must be selected in MDS Element Manager.
See Appendix section “7b” for help.
WARNING: Always ensure that an antenna is connected to the LINK900 radio before the radio
is powered-up, or damage to the radio may occur.
The LINK900 radio must be powered before a connection can be established. The radio receives
power from the MIM/TWI via the 9 pin ribbon cable. Programming the radio is completed via
the Configuration menu in the GE MDS Element Manager application.
Start the GE MDS Element Manager application. Confirm Device Type is set to TransNet. Under
Serial Connections, select the COM port that the programming cable is connected to. Confirm
the Settings (9600, 8, N, 1). To connect to the radio, select Connect Serial to begin
communicating with the LINK900 radio.
