 When the antenna is stuck, launch the VNC to the timepc and go to the antenna control window. Look for red buttons there. Set the schedule to halt in the fs input. You can turn on/ff the antenna manually from operate/​standby,​ switch Drives on/off. If necessary, do the RESETS at the bottom.  ​ When the antenna is stuck, launch the VNC to the timepc and go to the antenna control window. Look for red buttons there.
