    This document provides instructions for converting a MTP850/MTP830 serial data cable into a USB cable using an FTDI USB TTL Serial Cable. The instructions explain how to open the housing of the TTL-RS232 level shifter, remove the existing 9-pin cable, and solder the wires of the FTDI cable to the appropriate points on the PCB. The completed USB cable can then be used to interface the MTP850/MTP830 with a computer by installing the FTDI VCP driver and configuring the appropriate COM port in Windows and Motorola Scout software.

    CONVERT YOUR MTP850/MTP830 SERIAL DATA CABLE PMKN4025 INTO USB

    Go and get from your favourite supplier the FTDI USB TTL Serial Cable TTL-232R-5V-WE.
    The product page: http://www.ftdichip.com/Products/Cables/USBTTLSerial.htm
    Virtual COM Port (VCP) drivers: http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm
    FTDI web shop: http://apple.clickandbuild.com/cnb/shop/ftdichip?op=catalogue-productsnull&prodCategoryID=102&title=USB-TTL+Wire+Ended
    The TTL-232R-5V-WE ("wire ended") is a USB to Serial (TTL level)
    converter cable which allows for a simple way to connect TTL
    interface devices to USB. This version of FTDI's USB to TTL serial
    adapter cable has it's I/O pins configured to operate at 5V levels.
    The TTL-232R-5V-WE uses a FT232RQ device which is housed
    inside the USB 'A' connector, and is terminated at the end of a 1.8
    m (70") cable with 6 bare, tinned wires which provide access to
    transmit (Tx), receive (Rx), RTS#, CTS#, Vcc (5V), and GND signals.
    This allows the customer to customise the TTL-232R-WE with
    their own connector, according to the requirements of their
    application. Alternatively the TTL-232R-WE can be hard wired
    onto a PCB.
    The TTL-232R-5V-WE is fully RoHS compliant and is supplied loose packed in an anti-static bag. It is FCC and CE
    approved.

    Lets start!
    First we need to open the housing of the TTL - RS232 level shifter. Use adequate pliers, tweezers or screwdriver and
    use it as a lever to crack the housing. Be careful not to damage the housing. Take your time.

    Now remove the cable with the 9pin DB connector.

    From the remaining radios cable, you need these three wires:
    - Orange
    - Yellow
    - Blue
    Remove them from the PCB.
    ATTENTION! Although the green wire on the radio cable side is not connected to the PCB in the following pictures,
    keep it soldered to the PCB.

    If you want to use the velcro cable binder, free it from the old serial cable.

    and attach it to the FTDI USB cable.


    Prepare two sizes of shrink tube to make up a new bend protection.

    Slide them on the cable and attach a cable strap to the end of the cable.

    Heat and shrink the tubes.


    Cut a bigger piece of shrink tube to length and attach to the cable, covering the cable tie, too.

    This is how it shall look like and fit the new position in the housing.

    Now solder the black wire of the USB cable to the position of the PCB shown in the picture.

    Prepare five short pieces of shrink tube for wire insulation.

    Now solder the other three wires


    USB/Orange Radio/Yellow
    USB/Yellow Radio/Orange
    USB/Brown Radio/Blue
    USB/Green Not Used/insulate with shrink tube
    USB/Red Not Used/insulate with shrink tube

    Finally use some CA glue to re-assemble the housing.

    All Done!

    From the FTDI USB cable you use four wires:


    Yellow
    RXD
    Orange TXD
    Brown
    CTS
    Black
    Ground
    Not used:
    Green
    RTS
    Red
    5V from the USB connector
    Cut to size and insulate with shrink tube.
    Install the VCP driver from the FTDI page. http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm
    For Scout usage:
    Make sure that the newly installed COM port has a number in the range from 1 to 16.
    Go and get the number from the Windows Device Management (Start, Run, devmgmt.msc)
    Adjust Scout to the port and save settings.
