Compatible Radios

The PMKN4115B is designed for compatible Motorola MOTOTRBO XPR 3000 Series portable radios.

Documented compatible models include:

• Motorola MOTOTRBO XPR 3300

• Motorola MOTOTRBO XPR 3300e

• Motorola MOTOTRBO XPR 3500

• Motorola MOTOTRBO XPR 3500e

• Select corresponding XPR 3000 Series configurations

Compatibility should always be verified against the exact radio model before ordering.

USB Programming Connection

The PMKN4115B connects a compatible portable radio directly to a:

Computer USB Port

This allows the computer and compatible Motorola programming software to communicate with the radio.

The direct USB connection makes the cable convenient for both individual radio configuration and larger fleet programming operations.

Programming Applications

The PMKN4115B can be used for supported programming operations such as:

• Reading radio configurations

• Writing radio configurations

• Channel programming

• Frequency configuration

• Talkgroup configuration

• Radio settings

• Button configuration

• Scan-list configuration

• Contact configuration

• Fleet configuration

• Supported data applications

• Radio maintenance

The exact programming functions available depend on the radio model, firmware, and Motorola programming software being used.

Motorola Programming Software

The PMKN4115B provides the physical connection between the radio and computer.

Compatible Motorola programming software is required to actually read, configure, and write the radio.

Programming software is not included with the cable.

Users should ensure they have the appropriate Motorola software and access required for their specific radio platform.

No Separate RIB Required

The PMKN4115B provides a direct USB programming connection and does not require a separate external:

Radio Interface Box (RIB)

The required interface electronics are incorporated into the programming cable, simplifying the connection between the compatible radio and computer.

PMKN4115B vs. PMKN4117B

The PMKN4115B should not be confused with the:

PMKN4117B Programming, Test and Alignment Cable

The difference is important:

PMKN4115B = Programming and Data Applications

PMKN4117B = Programming, Testing and Alignment

For customers who simply need to program compatible XPR 3000 Series radios through USB, the PMKN4115B is the appropriate programming-focused cable.

Professional Programming Accessory

The PMKN4115B is particularly useful for:

• Motorola radio dealers

• Two-way radio service centers

• Communications technicians

• Fleet administrators

• Radio system managers

• Professional radio installers

• Organizations maintaining their own MOTOTRBO fleets

It provides a convenient wired connection for routine radio programming and configuration.

Important

The PMKN4115B is a USB programming and data cable.

It is not a charging cable.

It is not an RF test cable.

It is not intended to replace the PMKN4117B for supported test and alignment procedures.

Compatible Motorola programming software is required for radio configuration.

Programming software is not included.

The portable radio and computer are sold separately.

Always verify compatibility with the exact radio model and programming software before ordering.
