1.0 Introduction
This bulletin provides a quick reference approach to establishing communication between the
ATC300-1000/2000 Teletilt® controller and a local PC/laptop (see Bulletin 639544 for the complete
user guide). Generally, the IP address is temporarily configured on the PC/laptop to be compatible
with the ATC300-1000/2000 controller.
Andrew Solutions has developed an IP configuration tool to provide a safe and easy method for
con-figuring the IP addressing on the PC/laptop. This bulletin covers setup using the Andrew IP Config
Tool program.
Pre-Installation Notes:
• The Andrew IP Config Tool is compatible with Windows® 2000 and Windows® XP.
• Andrew recommends that you register online to receive notifications for updates made to the
soft-ware file. It is also recommended that the Andrew web site be checked every 30 days for
updated software/documentation.
•
Both +24 and -48 V dc connections for the power supply module are available. For proper
operation, ensure wires are connected with correct polarity.

• It is recommended that prior to antenna installation on the tower, the serial number, antenna
type, and location where the antenna will be installed on the tower be recorded on the Site
