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).
Run AMSLite.exe, The window below is displayed. If you would like to install to this folder, click Next
button. Otherwise, click Browse and select another folder.
Once application starts, initial screen (Main Window) shown in Figure 5-1 is displayed. Only one AMS
application can be run at once on a PC.

) Communication Mode
When click communication mode, the status of communication mode is changed. Please refer to
“Chapter 6. Functions” for setting up and using communication parameters.
Table – Communication Mode
) RS-232 (Serial) / Ethernet (TCP) TX, RX LED
In case that data is sent to ALD, TX LED will blink. In case that data is received from ALD, RX LED
will blink. If TX LED and /or RX LED are not blinking during communication, please check the cable
connection secure along with all the communication parameters.
