Interface Cable Installation

Communication between the Site Master and the PC is accomplished over a null modem se- rial cable provided with the Site Master (Anritsu part number 800-441).

Step 1. Install the null modem serial interface cable to the Serial Interface connector on the Site Master Test Connector Panel.

Step 2. Connect the other end of the serial interface cable to the appropriate COM port connector on the PC.

Step 3. Turn on both the Site Master and the PC.
