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 Figure 15.

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.
