Now that the operator's computer is correctly setup, and the LMKVS-CPU antenna controller has a valid IP,
the operator can control the antenna via the ACS3000 GUI interface and the Java applet screens. The
operator may bring up the Internet browser and enter the antenna controller IP address (for example, the
default IP of 192.168.1.76) in the browser address line. The first screen to come up is the Home Screen.
Home Screen - System Not Initialized
The Home Screen displays the current antenna Azimuth, Elevation, Polarization, Beacon Level readings and
status. It also includes icons that describe system information, and buttons that can be selected to bring up
the other screens.
Figure 3 shows the Home Screen when the antenna controller system first comes up before it has been
initialized and before a beacon receiver has been connected. Notice that the Position/Jog button, the
Satellite Table button, and the Tracking button are grayed out, meaning they cannot be selected at this time.

Home Screen - System Initialized
Figure 4 shows the Home Screen when the antenna controller system has already been initialized. At this
point, all buttons are clearly visible and all screens are active. This example also shows the icon for the valid
beacon receiver. Additional arrow icons are displayed to the right of the Azimuth or Elevation value boxes
that show when an axis is in motion and in which direction.
