Ok I read that link and I want to make sure I understand how you are using this.
You take a port saver cord, open the cable somewhere and solder a red wire to the blue and white with blue stripe wires and a black wire to the brown and white with brown stripe wires then you stick those wires into the VRM, plug the port saver into the POE port on the radio and the ethernet cable from the RIO into the end of the port saver cable you just modified so you are using only ONE of the ethernet ports on the radio, correct?
Do you cut the wires in the port saver so power only goes to the radio or do you just solder to those wires so power goes to both the radio and the RIO?

Thanks
