11.3 FRONT PANEL PROGRAMMING CABLE 14015-0200-01
Front Panel Programming Cable 14015-0200-01 can be used to program and configure the radio via the
microphone connector on the front panel of the radio. The cable’s assembly and wiring diagrams are
shown in Figure 11-3 below. The terminals/pins of the mic connector include those of a serial program-
ming port. The radio auto-senses between a serial device connected to the serial programming port of the
mic connector and the serial programming port of the rear panel connector.
If using ECP Release R16B08 or earlier or XGP Release R1A34 or earlier, the radio
cannot be flashed and its personality cannot
be programmed using the Front Panel
Programming Cable. Refer to TAC’s Important Product Notification (IPN) Volume 5
Number 6 for additional information.
The cable’s circular (LTW) connector mates to the radio’s mic connector, and its female DB-9 connector
mates to a male DB-9 serial port connector of a computer (or USB adapter). If the utilized PC is not
equipped with a male DB-9 serial port connector, the use of a suitable adapter is required, such as
USB-to-RS-232 Adapter Cable CN24741-0001. As of the publication of this manual, CN24741-0001 is
available via the Customer Care center; refer to Section 3.4 on page 12 for contact information.
