Updating Firmware Revision 1
3–3
You can use Comtech EF Data’s optional CLC-10 Handheld Terminal (part of CEFD M&C
Accessory Kit KT-0020518) for serial-based monitor and control of the LPOD-R PS 1 or PS 1.5
(when the optional EIA-232/485 serial interface is available). This kit provides an adapter cable
(CEFD P/N CA-0020526) to connect the CLC-10 to the PS 1 or PS 1.5 19-pin J6 | COM1 port.
You can use a user-fabricated 9 pin-to-19 pin adapter cable to directly connect the PC serial port
to the LPOD-R PS 1 or PS 1.5 19-pin J6 | COM1 port if you are using a user-supplied terminal
emulator program.

On the User PC – If not using the CLC-10, configure the terminal emulator program as necessary.
