ICOM IP501M programming cable OPC2357

Computer-Based Radio Configuration

The OPC-2357 provides the physical data connection between the IP501M and a computer. It allows compatible programming software to communicate with the radio for configuration and maintenance.

Typical uses include:

• Configuring replacement or additional IP501M radios
• Maintaining consistent settings across a vehicle fleet
• Saving radio configurations for future use
• Installing supported firmware updates

Required Programming Software

Programming the IP501M requires the appropriate ICOM CS-IP501M software. The exact settings available depend on the software version, radio firmware, and system configuration.

The OPC-2357 is the connection cable only and does not replace the required programming software or system access credentials.

Firmware Update Support

ICOM also identifies the OPC-2357 as a firmware update cable. The radio and computer must remain powered and connected throughout any programming or firmware-writing operation, as interrupting the process may prevent the radio from operating correctly.

Equipment Compatibility

The cable is compatible with the ICOM IP501M mobile LTE radio. It is also listed for the ICOM IC-SAT100M satellite PTT mobile radio, although the required software and procedures differ between radio models.
