work-wide diagnostics and set the baud rate at the diagnostics port
of each node radio.
5. Connect same-site radios using a null-modem cable at the radios’

6. Connect a PC on which MDS InSite software is installed to the root

desired, an adapter cable may be constructed from scratch using the
information shown in Figure 37.
