3.2 Explanation

RS-232 Port

This is for communication between PAC-A and a PC (RS-232 communications standard) for PAC-A

firmware upgrade. If you computer is not equipped with RS-232 serial port, you may need an USB

to serial adaptor to connect your computer to PAC-A unit. The baud rate is 9600bps for the RS-

232C interface.

RS-485 Port

This is AISG communication port.

Table 6-1. Error Status

LCD window just can display 2 error items (Max) at once. If 3 or more error items occurs, could see all

error items using key “ ” and “ ” on PAC-A Pad. “<*ERROR[RENEW-ENT]*>” means there are more error

messages. In this case can see all error items using key “ ” and “ ” on PAC-A Pad. If error item is 2 or

below, “<” or “>” does not displayed.

Based on AISG, Error could be divided into Alarm and Return Code. If error occurs when ALD conducts

AISG command, it is response with Alarm or Return code. For the Return code, it is simple and not

repeatable processing error of each command conducted. To clear Return code and display Alarm code only,

press “ENT” Key at the “[RENEW-ENT]”. After this, if you send the command to read ALD Alarm code, alarm

code only is displayed. The meaning of “[RENEW-ENT]”, All of Return code occurred are cleared by “Enter

Key. In this case, only Alarm code is displayed when send a command to read ALD Alarm code.

EX) if there are five errors occurred, but LCD just displays 2 errors only. In this case, you can see all errors

using “ ” and “ ” Keys. In Figure 6-2-3, “>” means there are more errors in the next page. And if press “ ”,

“<”, “>” are displayed to indicate there are more alarms before and after of current display as like Figure 6-2-

Figure 7-3-2. New tilt degree

When antenna moves to 5 degree, the screen shows “TILT(MOVING)” as shown in Figure 7-3-3. After

finishing tilt process, the screen goes to as shown in Figure 7-3-4. The current degree and new degree are

the same.

If you want to move to 5.5 degree, press number 5 and press Key five times to make 5.5 degree.

In multi column antenna, PAC-A is automatically changed TILT screen. Move to “TILT” screen using “REV”

key, and then the screen displays tilt control menu as shown in Figure 7-3-5.

Press “ENT” key, and then the screen displays current tilt degree of Antenna as shown in Figure 7-3-6. If

you want to move some degree of antenna, you can use the number key or arrow key. The Key means

0.1 degree decrease, and the Key means 0.1 degree increase each time pressed.

If you press number 5 in keypad, the screen is changed as shown in Figure 7-3-7. And press “ENT” key,

the antenna goes to 5 degree.

When antenna moves to 5 degree, the screen shows “TILT(MOVING)” as shown in Figure 7-3-8. After

finishing tilt process, the screen goes to as shown in Figure 7-3-9. The current degree and new degree are

the same.

Figure 7-3-9. End of tilt control

If you want to control another antenna, press the “REV” or “FWD” key. And then you can see another tilt

mode as shown in Figure 7-3-10. If antenna don‟t support tilting feature, it displays “NOT SUPPORTED”

message as shown in Figure 7-3-11.

If you want to escape tilt mode, press “SEL” key. And then you can see tilt control menu as shown in Figure

7-3-5.

7.4 Steering Control

Move to “STEERING” screen using “REV” key, and then the screen displays current steering degree of the

antenna. This feature is only for Hybrid 2Way antennas. For EDTA antenna, this function is not supported.

If you want to move some degree of antenna, you can use the number key or arrow key. The Key

means 1.0 degree decrease (to the left) once pressed, and the Key means 1.0 degree increase (to the

right) once pressed. The “SEL” key means minus function in steering control mode. Steering control process

is the same as tilt control process except changing step of one degree instead of 0.1 degree in tilt.

In multi column antenna, PAC-A is automatically changed to STEERING screen. Move to “STEERING”

screen using “REV” key, and then the screen displays steer control menu as shown in Figure 7-4-1. You can

control beam steering the same as tilt control.

7.5 Calibration of RET

Move to “CALIBRATION” screen using “REV” key. If you want to calibrate the antenna, press “ENT” key as

described in Figure 7-5-1. When the calibration is in progress, “Calibrating” message will show in the screen

as shown in Figure 7-5-2. Finishing of calibration, the screen goes back to Figure 7-5-1. After finishing the






calibration, the motor position goes to 0 degree position.

In multi column antenna, PAC-A is automatically changed CALIBRATION screen. Move to “CALIBRATION”

screen using “REV” key, and then the screen displays calibration control menu as shown in Figure 7-5-3.

Press “ENT” key, and then the screen displays calibration of antenna as shown in Figure 7-5-4. If you want to

calibrate the antenna, press “ENT” key as described in Figure 7-5-5. When the calibration is in progress,

“Calibrating” message will show in the screen. Finishing of calibration, the screen goes back to Figure 7-5-4.

If you want to calibrate another antenna, press the “REV” or “FWD” key. And then you can see another

calibration screen as shown in Figure 7-5-6. If the antenna is not supported for calibration, it will display that

calibration is not supported message as shown in Figure 7-5-7.

If you want to exit calibration mode, press “SEL” key. And then you can see calibration control menu as

shown in Figure 7-5-3.

7.6 Address Assign of RET

Move to “ASSIGN ALD I/D” screen using “REV” key. If you want to assign new ID to ALD, select the

number that you want to assign. Usually this function is used when the connection to ALD is “DISCON”

status as shown in Figure 6-1-4. This process is same as Section 6.6 Address assign of TTLNA. Refer to

Section 6.6.
