ATC300-1000/2000 Teletilt ® RET System Section 11–Device Discovery and Addressing
Bulletin 639544 • Revision L August 2014 11-7
11.5.2 Revert to AISG 1.1
• The Revert to AISG 1.1 control targets a specific set of actuators. It examines the database of
devices and sends an addressed “revert to AISG 1.1” message to each Andrew dual mode RET
operating in AISG 2.0 mode. A few Andrew dual-mode TMAs are also affected.
• On receipt of this message, each targeted RET performs a reset and then begins operation in an
AISG 1.1 mode.
• No message is sent to any other devices.
• ATC300 2.34_A and later will also cause an Andrew AccuRET actuator currently operating in AISG
2.0 to reset and begin operation in AISG 1.1 mode.
11.5.3 Using the AISG Control Tools
Run a 1. Device Scan to enter all devices on the RET system into the controller’s data base.
Select 2. AISG 2.0 Reset to reset all AISG 2.0 devices. This will also cause any Andrew dual-
mode devices operating in AISG 1.1 mode to reset in AISG 2.0 mode.
Select 3. Revert to AISG 1.1 to revert each Andrew dual-mode RET operating in AISG 2.0 mode
back to AISG 1.1 mode (Figure 11-7).
Refer to the 4. AISG column in the main interface screen to view the AISG protocol in use for each
device (Figure 11-8).
Communication is temporarily interrupted to the AISG devices on the RET system when 5.
an AISG 2.0 Reset command is sent. This interruption is identified by a AISG_NO_
REPLY message in the Status column in the main interface screen (Figure 11-8).
• Operating screens will vary somewhat for devices operating in AISG 1.1 to those operating in AISG
2.0, due to the differences in the two AISG protocols. Where possible, all AISG devices should
operate in the same AISG mode to provide the best operating conditions.
AISG reset status show that communication is
interrupted while devices are resetting.
