Connecting the DockLINK

You must connect the DockLINK to the station’s 10BaseT Network Interface Card and to the power adapter. Optionally, you can also connect a modem or VT-100 terminal to the DockLINK for local configuration. Follow these steps to connect external cabling to the DockLINK:

1.Connect the radio to the female DB15 jack on the DockLINK. The radio’s connector is keyed, and only inserts into the jack one way. Do not force the connector into the jack.

2.Connect the power adapter cable to the DockLINK.

3.Plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet.
