4. Multiple integrated actuator-equipped antennas do not change the assigned Antenna Model.

For the most current listing of antenna models designed for use with the ATC200-LITE-USB
Teletilt system, see the Products tab on the CommScope website.

5. Use

the

Antenna Type drop down list to select the antenna type that is correct for the antenna

model selected (Figure 10-2). Note that this value is used for reference only and has no direct
affect upon the Actuator/Antenna that is being conﬁgured.

6. The serial number of multiple-actuator-equipped antennas is pre-set and cannot be changed.

(Figure 10-2).

7. Using the drop down lists and entry ﬁelds, specify the parameters for the remaining ﬁelds (Op-

erating/Frequency Band, Technology, Base Station ID, Installer ID, Install Date, Mechanical Tilt,
Bearing, Height, Sector, and Location). Note the following:

• A positive mechanical tilt angle means that the antenna beam is directed below the

horizontal plane. A negative mechanical tilt angle means that the antenna beam is

directed above the horizontal plane.

• The bearing is the installed compass orientation for this antenna.

• The height of the antenna on the tower must be entered in the range of 1 to 999. No speciﬁc

unit of length, such as feet or meters, is associated with this ﬁeld. However, you should

enter a value that conforms to the units of length customarily used by your company for

antenna

installations.

• If in AISG 1.1 mode, the ID for the base station associated with this antenna must be 1 to

12 characters in length, and it may contain any combination of numbers and letters.

When the actuator is in AISG 2.0 protocol mode, the longer station ID consists of 32

characters.

• The Installation Date ﬁeld is handled differently from all other conﬁguration items. Although

this ﬁeld is not required, if no installation date has been saved on the actuator the program

will suggest the current date as the default. If the current date is used, it will be saved on

the actuator when the Conﬁgure button is activated. Alternately, the suggested date may

be erased and a new date entered, or the ﬁeld may be left blank. When a date is entered,

it must be formatted as MM/DD/YY as shown in Figure 10-2 (A forward slash character

placed between the month and day and a forward slash character placed between the day

and year) i.e., July 7, 2008 would be typed as 07/07/08.

• The installer’s ID must be 1 to 5 characters in length with any combination of letters
and

numbers.

• Values speciﬁed for the frequency band, sector, technology, location, and mechanical tilt are

used for reference only and have no direct affect upon the actuator/antenna that is being

conﬁgured.

•

Frequency band (AISG 1.1)/Operating Band (AISG 2.0) value can have multiple values set.
Click on the drop down arrow in the list to open the multi selection list. Make selection by click-
ing on the check box for the relevant frequency. Click outside the list or press ESC key to close
the list (Figure 10-3).
