System Hook-Up Procedure (Refer to Figure 1)
1. Locate a serial port on your computer. This port will usually be
located at the rear of the computer. However, since this is dependent
upon the design of your computer, refer to the computer operator’s
manual for directions.
The IBM PC/XT/AT systems support up to two serial ports. There
are two physical standards for the serial port configurations of per-
sonal computers. The first standard is a 25 pin RS-232 output that has
a DB-25 male connector at the computer. The other standard has a
DB-9 male connector at the computer (used on IBM-AT and many
portable lap-top computers). The PC Interface Module, like most data
communication equipment, uses a standard RS-232, DB-25, female
connector. If your computer uses a DB-9 connector, you will need to
purchase a DB-9/DB-25 adaptor cable from your local computer
dealer.
2. Please note the Utility Software only communicates with the radio
and its interface through the serial port designated as COM1 or
COM2. Your computer references will assist you in determining
which serial port has been so designated. Once located, examine the
keyed plug on the RS-232 cable for the correct keyed end and insert
it carefully into the appropriate serial port on the computer.
3. The other end of the RS-232 cable should now be connected to the
computer receptacle on the PC Interface Module (TQ-3310 or TQ-
3370). Check carefully to ensure that plugs are fully seated in the
receptacle and, if retaining screws are included, that they are carefully
tightened to firmly hold the plug in place. Should the plug not seat
correctly to its receptacle, remove the plug and examine the pins to
determine if the proper plug was inserted and to detemine if pins are
aligned and undamaged. Damaged pins and broken connections will
cause the PC Programming Software to fail.
4. Position the radio on the work area in a convenient place. The
Programming Cable (TQ-3336) connects the radio to the Ribbon
Cable (TQ-0652) as shown in Figure 1. The UDC (Universal Device
Connector) connects to the side of the radio and the DB 25 pin
connector connects to the ribbon cable. Ensure that power is applied
to the radio before using the Utility Program.
