4. Use the DLINK ON and DLINK [baud rate] commands to configure the
diagnostic link protocol on the RJ-11 port of each node radio.
5. Connect same-site radios using a null-modem cable at the radios’
diagnostic ports.
6. Connect a PC with GE MDS InSite software installed to the root
radio, or to one of the nodes, at the radio’s diagnostic port. (This PC
can also be the PC being used to collect payload data, as shown in
Figure 12.)
To connect a PC to the radio’s
DIAG. port, an RJ-11-to-DB-9 adapter
(MDS P/N 03-3246A01) is required. If desired, an adapter cable can
be made using the information shown in Figure 13.

7. Start the GE MDS InSite application at the PC. (See the GE MDS
InSite User’s Guide for instructions.)
6.4 User-Programmable Interface Output
Functions
Two pins of the DATA INTERFACE can be manually activated through
GE MDS’ InSite NMS software. These two outputs (#1–Pin 22 and
#2–Pin 15) can be connected to compatible user-provided data devices.
The pins provide either a logic high or low depending on the last com-
mand from the
USER I/O SETTINGS in the Network Wide Radio Configuration
screen of InSite. In this InSite window, clicking the
SET button sets the
output to high, and clicking on
CLEAR sets the associated output low. See
Figure 14 for a screen capture of the software controls.
One pin on the DATA INTERFACE can be configured as a digital
input. If
DIN ON is selected, Pin 16 becomes a digital input. The input is
set when 5 V is applied, and clear when grounded. The same physical
input can be queried as the analog input value on other InSite screens.
