1. Overview
The AICM 1:1 Interface Program is designed to manage each AICM (Air Interface Control Monitoring) through a
RS-232C interface. AICMs are located at BTS inside and they can control and monitor the status of antennas.
A user can input the Antenna information, AICM IP Address, Gateway, Subnet Mask and NMS Server IP Address
into each AICM through RS-232C communication.
Figure 1-1 shows a communication block diagram.

A basic protocol appears in Figure 1-2. The program sends a command to AICM, then AICM checks a received message
for errors. AICM sends an acknowledge message (ACK) unless the received message has errors. Also, AICM sends a
non-acknowledge message (NACK) if certain errors are encountered. If the program doesn’t receive any return message,
the program resends the command twice. The program closes the session (communication Fail) if no return message is
received after these two tries.

OS: Windows 2000, Windows XP
PENTIUM 4: 700MHz
RAM: 256MB
Display: 1024 * 768 pixel
3. Communication Protocol
TCP/IP Protocol : This is not available for the 1:1 interface program.
RS-232C Protocol(Baud rate: 38400bps, Data bit: 8bit, Parity bit: None, Stop bit: 1bit)
4. Installation and Getting started with the program
A user runs a setup file (NewAicm[1.69].exe) after choosing a destination folder. A shortcut of the program is
generated at the desktop screen upon completion. A program is installed successfully when the user follows the steps
below Figure 4-1 to Figure 4-5. Next, the program will run when the user clicks a Start button on Windows taskbar->
Programs-> Air Interface Control & Monitoring program group -> NewAicm.( Refer to Figure 4-6.)
