7. Setup for a serial connection.
• Verify that the controller is powered up and connected to the computer using
AN RS-232 serial cable and there is not a USB connection to the
controller.
• Start the ATCLite program. Since a USB connection is not detected, the
computer will prompt you to use a serial connection. Click Yes to allow the
computer to search for an available serial port. See Figure 6. COM1 is the
default used, if it is available. If COM1 is not available, the computer will
automatically search for the next available serial port in the range of 1-8.
• After the serial connection has been established, connect the desired length
RET control cable between the controller's AISG connector and the first
component in the RET system (or actuator that is to be tested before antenna
is mounted on the tower).
8. Device search.
• After the serial or USB connection has been established and the controller
is connected to the RET device/system, a device search can be started. Refer
to the Equipment Installation Overview provided for additional information.
Figure 6. ATC200-LITE-USB Serial Connection.
