Page 10: General Description
T58 Technical 1. General Description 1.1 Overview The T58 Ethernet Option is a small circuit board that is installed inside the MX800 transceiver to allow diagnostic data from the MX800 and remote control function of the radio to be sent over a UTP Ethernet link. Unlike the previous T34 option it replaces, T58 also supports both normal serial communication from application such as MXTOOLS3 to the radio through its serial port and Ethernet communication simultaneously.
