5.2.2.9:RF Interfaces
RF interfaces are connected directly to VAM-CM antenna connectors which are described in more
detail in Radio interface description on page 18.
5.3: Control tools
The VAM control tool is based on web interface and back-end command server to interact with VAM
terminals. The VAM control tool enables the use of AT-commands and AT-command sequences to
control VAM terminal. Controls and DUT responses can be logged for future investigation.
The VAM control tool also contains simplified engineering mode enabling the possibility to control
receiver and transmitter independently. Simplified engineering mode allows turning on the
transmitter in dedicated channel and output power level as well as turning on the receiver in
dedicated channel and to measure RCER and RSSI of the input signal.
Figure 23 shows a screen shot of VAM control tool log viewer. More detailed information concerning
the VAM control tool can be found in VAM Tool User Guide .
