Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A Master Antenna Controller System comprises a handheld wireless device and an AISG equipment controller. The handheld wireless device may comprise an Android OS or iOS based smartphone or tablet that includes Wi-Fi capabilities communications capabilities. The equipment controller may provide full RET control based on the AISG 1.1 and 2.0 standards and communicate with the handheld wireless device via a Wi-Fi server. The combination may be configured to provide extensive, screen-guided, intuitive RET diagnostics functionality. The RET diagnostics functionality may include measurements of voltage, current, and AISG protocol commands. The equipment controller itself may also include multiple different pre-defined tests (e.g. test one actuator, test one RET cable, test AISG signal from TMA) and also some standard electrical tests, e.g. measuring voltage, current etc. Additional higher-level functions may be provided on an Application on the handheld wireless device and communicated to the equipment controller wirelessly or by USB connection.
