Some technician tests enter programming information into the unit. To perform these tests, the unit
must be correctly connected to the test equipment.
Recommended equipment: data cable RS232 (NKN6560A) or USB data cable (NKN6559A),
computer workstation with RSS installed.
NOTE: For a list of recommended programming equipment, applicable part numbers, and
descriptions, refer to Appendix A: Ordering Replacement Parts and Kits.
To prepare the unit for both codeplug and subscriber code programming using the
data cable (Figure 6-1):
1. Attach the 17-pin connector on the data cable to the corresponding connector located at the base
of the unit.
2. Attach the other end of the data cable to the serial port or USB port on the RSS computer
workstation that is used for testing purposes.
