5. Connect same-site radios using a null-modem cable at the radios’
DIAGNOSTICS ports.
6. Connect a PC on which MDS InSite software is installed to the root
radio, or to one of the nodes, at the radio’s DIAGNOSTICS port (this
PC can be the PC that collects payload data, as shown in Figure 37).
To connect a PC to the radio’s DIAGNOSTICS port, an RJ-11 to
DB-9 adapter (MDS P/N 03-3246A01) is required. If desired, you
can construct an adapter cable from scratch using the information
shown in Figure 38 on Page 86.
