Page 2
This bulletin provides a quick reference approach to establishing
communication between the ATC200-1000 Teletilt
®
controller and a local PC/
laptop (see Bulletin 639514 for the complete user guide). Generally, the IP
address is temporarily confi gured on the PC/laptop to be compatible with
the ATC200-1000 controller. Andrew Wireless Services has developed an IP
confi guration tool to provide a safe and easy method for confi guring the IP
addressing on the PC/laptop. This bulletin covers setup using the Andrew IP
Confi g Tool program.
Pre-Installation Notes:
• The Andrew IP Confi g Tool is compatible with Windows
®
2000 and Windows
®
XP.
• Andrew recommends that you register online to receive notifi cations for updates
made to the software and antenna defi nition fi le. It is also recommended that the
CommScope web site be checked every 30 days for updated software or
documentation.
•
If using the 48V power connection, ensure wires are properly connected.
Reversal of wire connection can cause permanent damage to the controller.
• Before installing antennas equipped with actuators to the tower, each actuator should
be connected to the controller and tested for proper operation. A quick reference
guide is included with the ATC200-1000 controller or Teletilt antenna.
• 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 re-
corded on the Site Confi guration Worksheet provided.
