I work in IT and very new to this. So i apologize if this question has been asked and answered. I got a hand-me-down CM300 and a few xpr 3500e.
In regard to the programming cable for the CM300 i have tons of USB and DB9 Cisco console cables laying around. Could they be used to program a radio?
I believe i would have to change the RJ45 to make the USB cable work and that's no problem.
if i can even rewire one of my db9 serial console cables would a rs232 to usb to serial adapter work so i can use it through USB?
I have a few different USB to Rj45 rollover cables with different chipsets. I would think the chipset only matters to the PC when loading drivers and not to the radio similar to the switches and firewall i work with. am i thinking wrong?
I would just buy the correct USB programming cable but with everything i research it gets more confusing and i want to make sure i get the right one or have more fun and make the right one.
