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.

Section 5
Actuator Protocol Mode Switching
5.0.1 Using AISG Reset Option Tools
Two reset options are provided under the Tools menu that allow all ATM200-002 devices on a RET
system to be reset to either AISG 1.1 or AISG 2.0.
Run a 1. Device Scan to detect all devices on the RET system.
To operate in AISG 2.0, select 2. Tools
→Switch Protocol Mode →AISG 2.0 Reset All to reset all
AISG 2.0 capable RET devices to operate in AISG 2.0 (Figure 5-1). This option sends command
to all the devices available on the bus.
To operate in AISG 1.1, select 3. Tools
→Switch Protocol Mode →ATM3 /TMAs →AISG 1.1 Reset
All to reset all AISG 1.1 capable RET devices to operate in AISG 1.1 (Figure 5-1). This option
sends command to only ATM3 RET devices and selective TMA devices (software version start-
ing with 0M).
Refer to the AISG column in the Device Information window to view the AISG protocol in use 4.
for each device (Figure 5-2).
