Sheet 5 of 30 Sheet 5 of 30 8/17/2008 . Introduction This application is to control an AMS (Antenna Management System) controller via RS-232 port and/or ethernet port in a PC in a remote location or on-site. An AMS controls and monitors motor in antenna which is used to change tilt and azimuth of antenna beam. Figure 1-1) shows block diagram of communication between AMS and antenna(s).
