The system can be configured via an antenna internal software. To enter the program,
you have to connect the serial interface of an ordinary PC to the serial interface of the
antenna. Once all the connections have been set up, start a terminal program on the
PC.
For the connection to be established the serial interface of the PC has to be connected
to the serial interface of the antenna. The serial interface of the antenna is integrated
into its power interface. The user needs to tailor cables for connecting the antenna
pins listed below to the PC and a power supply.
