CD 7011, ISSUE 506/07/2019Page 10SUNSIGHT AAT RF Panel Antenna Alignment System – AAT MODELS AAT30 & AAT15Basic Operation of the AATTo begin using the AAT, it is helpful to understand how the AAT functions. The AAT is operated by accessing the unit using the Wi-Fi connection from anotherWi-Fi device.The Wi-Fi device used to access the AAT can be most any smartphone, tablet orlaptop supporting standard Wi-Fi (802.11b/g/n). For the purpose of thisdocument, the Wi-Fi device will be called the Handheld Controller.The AAT acts as its own Wi-Fi hotspot.The AAT can be accessed by the Sunsight app if using an Android device of AndroidOS 6.0 or higher. Using the app will allow taking of photos during the alignmentdata capture process. These photos become part of the alignment reports. You candownload the Sunsight Android app and required AAT firmware rtTo use the Sunsight Android app to access the AAT, power up the AAT and thehandheld controller, launch the Sunsight app and connect to the AAT. The AAT’sstart page will be displayed.If using a handheld controller other than the Android device with app, go the Wi-Fihotspot list and choose the AAT Wi-Fi hotspot named AAT 9010xxxx, where xxxx isthe AAT serial number. Once connected, open browser (preferably Chrome) andnavigate to 192.168.0.50. The AAT’s start page will be displayed. As a reminder,no pictures can be captured when using this method of access.No more than one Wi-Fi user should be connected to the AAT at a time. Multipleusers connected simultaneously to an AAT may cause operational issues for theAAT.Capturing and Recording Alignment Data with the AATThe AAT can measure and record alignment results in two ways: Quick Capture mode ORProfile modeQuick Capture mode allows the user to mount the AAT and capture the actualmeasurements with no need for pre-programming alignment targets. Quick Capturereports do not include the target data that would be in the Profile mode reports. Photoscan be captured in the report.Profile mode allows the user to preprogram the AAT with target data that isdisplayed/compared with the actual measurements in the field. Resulting reports showboth target and measured data. Photos can be captured in the report as well. Profilescan be entered using the Handheld Controller (smartphone, tablet, or laptop) prior toclimbing. Up to 256 sets of target data may be entered. There are numerous optionaldata fields available when using the Profile mode. The optional data fields include site

CD 7011, ISSUE 506/07/2019Page 11SUNSIGHT AAT RF Panel Antenna Alignment System – AAT MODELS AAT30 & AAT15data such as antenna make/model, serial numbers, notes, etc. If the user and theircustomer can agree on what data is to be collected, the subsequent reports willprovide the fastest and most complete method of recording and reportingalignment work. It is highly suggested to work with the customer to agree on the datato be collected ahead of time.Reporting Alignment Data with the AATReports can be generated for a single alignment record (i.e. a single antenna) or a fullsite record (i.e. where several alignment records create one report). Reports aredownloaded to the handheld controller or laptop from the AAT, from there they can beemailed or printed.The AAT can capture measurement results and generate: PDF measurement reports with photos that contain embedded measurementdata (separate reports for each antenna, or multiple antennas in one site report)Bulk CSV measurement files (both import and export). Allows user to import andcreate Profiles from Excel or other spreadsheet programs. Allows export ofalignment results for consumption by Excel or other spreadsheet programsGoogle Earth files. The Google Earth files can be used to determine potential RFobstructions directly in Google Earth. The History feature can be used to determineif new obstacles have recently arisen using the Virtual Reality InterferenceReporting (VRIR) feature (patent pending).Follow this link to learn more about the VRIR feature https://www.youtube.com/watch?time continue 7&v gbR0NaZ5N6g
