Has anyone connected FLEX 6400 to ALS-500M using an ARI-500 (tuner MFJ-994B)?

Moving my MFJ-994B, ARI-500 and ALS-500M to the Flex 6400 and wondering if anyone has already done this. WOuld like to confirm the cabling and settings so that I don't **** up anything. Thanks in advance.

    Additional information: I purchased the RJ-USB6000 cable from HRO and it does not seem to pass the commands correctly nor does it shown a good connect to the ARI-500. I suspect that perhaps 1) the cable is bad, 2) there is some quirky sequence I must follow to get it to work or 3) the 6400 is sending incorrect commands. There of course could be other issues... I hope someone has tried this and got it to work. Was hoping that the setup was the same as the ALS-600 via the ARI-500 but that may not be the case.

    I did this several years ago with the flex 6700 and the ALS-600 using the ARI-500 and the rj to usb interface cable to the flex. Worked great and then I upgraded to the SPE 1.5K amp.
