12.16 Antenna Control Interface
The antenna control interface uses a TCP/IP protocol to exchange information between an Antenna
Control Unit and the MDM6000 Satellite Modem.
The operator has to define the antenna control parameters in such a way that the pointing, Satellite
polarity skew, polarization and the Local Oscillator conversion are according to the satellite
specifications.
Once the connection is setup, the antenna control interface messages are exchanged between the
MDM6000 Satellite Modem and the antenna control unit.
The following figure shows the setup between the MDM6000 Satellite Modem and the antenna
control unit.
The device implements the full commando set from the OpenAMIP standard v1.6.
No special extensions (Newtec proprietary) where added.
