Reconfigure The Mdcu; Mdcu V4.2 - Amphenol 151221BF Manuel D'utilisation

5 Reconfigure the MDCU

If you want to change the MDCU of an antenna you have multiple choices:
- 1: Order a new MDCU correctly configured for your antenna
- 2: Execute a swap with another antenna
- 3: Order a new MDCU without configuration
In cases 2 and 3 you must configure your MDCU. For this you must request the generic file
corresponding to your antenna model ( technical.support.ret@amphenol-antennas.com). To order a
new MDCU, you can contact us by email: sales@amphenol-antennas.com.
The generic file from an antenna is not a configuration file of AISG standard. It allows the
reconfiguration of all parameters from the MDCU with only one file by antenna model. To use this file
the MDCU must be in MD3.10 version software.

5.1 MDCU V4.2

Since the third quarter of 2020, new generation AAS antennas (NodeIine Series and the majority of
TwinPlus) are equipped with a memory function storing the MDCU configuration and information
within the antenna.
The MDCU V4.2 (MDCU with blue front panel) allows this memory to be read, so when replacing the
MDCU V4.2 on new generation antennas you will not need to reconfigure your MDCU. It will
automatically and instantaneously retrieve the antenna configuration.
If you need to replace the MDCU in an older generation antenna, you may continue to use the
generic files.
