5.0 Protocol Mode switching for ATM3 devices
ATC Lite v5.0 and later versions introduces changes to support two AISG modes, simultaneously,
on the same AISG or antenna line system. Andrew ATM200-002 actuators are factory set to oper-
ate in AISG 1.1 mode, but can be switched to operate in AISG 2.0 using the controller’s AISG Reset
Option Tools.
Notes:
•
Older Andrew actuators in the field are not capable of operating in AISG 2.0 mode.
• Other AISG devices will not switch AISG protocol using the AISG Reset Option tools, but will
reset which may temporarily interrupt power and RF signal lines. For example, an AISG
tower mounted amplifier operating in AISG 2.0 will reboot when an AISG 2.0 Reset
command is sent by the user.
• Andrew is unable to guarantee AISG Reset results for other manufacturer AISG devices.
