Using the Antenna
 The TracStar control system is resident on the antenna.
 No data is stored in the controller’s ACU (Antenna Control Unit).
 The Indoor Display (IDD) with the ‘Blue Box’ or the 1RU controller interface serve as I/O
devices for the user’s antenna system.
NOTE: The IDD unit (or handheld display) was primarily designed to be used indoors in
place of the ACU if there is a need for remote control or monitoring of the system. The
IDD is not waterproof and should not be left outside in the rain.
Antenna Control Unit (ACU)
The desktop controller’s IDD and
the 1RU rack-mount controller
serve as controller interface
devices to the antenna-based
TracStar control system.
