Section 3
Program Startup and Configuration
3.1 Preparing for Program Startup
This program is designed to configure and control Andrew’s ATC200-Lite Teletilt®, AISG1 compliant, RET antenna system through a controller connected to a local PC.
1.Verify that the ATC200-Lite controller is turned off/powered down, etc.
2.Verify that the actuator/antenna is properly connected to the ATC200-Lite controller.
3.Verify that the supplied RS-232 cable is connected between the ATC200-Lite controller and an active RS-232 serial port on the PC. Note a USB–to–serial port adapter may be used to connect the ATC200-Lite to the PC (see Section 1.3).
4.Turn on/power up the ATC200-Lite controller. After 2 - 3 seconds, the two power LEDs should display green lights on the front panel of the controller. The power LEDs are located nearest to the dc IN port shown in Figure 3-1.
5.When these two green lights are displayed, start the ATC200-Lite application installed in Section 2. DO NOT start the ATC200-Lite application until the power LEDs display two green lights.
