1. An antenna apparatus, the antenna apparatus comprising:
a memory storing configuration data for adjusting down-tilt angle of the antenna apparatus and at least one of an antenna serial number of the antenna apparatus or an antenna model of the antenna apparatus, wherein the configuration data for adjusting down-tilt angle corresponds to the at least one of the antenna serial number of the antenna apparatus or the antenna model of the antenna apparatus, wherein the configuration data for adjusting down-tilt angle and the at least one of the antenna serial number or the antenna model stored in the memory are communicated from the antenna apparatus to a remote control unit (RCU), wherein the configuration data for adjusting down-tilt angle enables the RCU to control movement of a motor to move a phase shifter of the antenna apparatus to adjust an electrical down-tilt angle of the antenna apparatus according to the configuration data for adjusting down-tilt angle, and the RCU and the antenna apparatus are two independent apparatuses.
