4.4 L-band configuration
4.4.2 Selecting Auto beam via terminal
To enable the use of Auto beam enter the following:
ASSIGNLBANDBEAM AUTO
4.4.3 Selecting a single beam via terminal
The format for assigning a specific L-band beam (98W, AORW, 25E, IOR, 143.5) is as follows:
ASSIGNLBANDBEAM BEAMNAME
4.4.4 Entering a custom beam frequency via terminal
A custom L-band beam name and frequency (in Hz) can be manually entered, however this should be
used only under the instruction of Veripos Support. The format for assigning a user L-band beam is as
follows:
ASSIGNLBANDBEAM MANUAL BEAMNAME FREQUENCY 1200
4.4.5 Tracked L-band beam and signal strength status via terminal
The presently tracked L-band beam/s and signal strength/s can be found by entering:
LOG LBANDTRACKSTAT
The returned status will display information relating to any of the beams that are being actively tracked or
searched for. The tracked L-band beam names will be found in quotation marks at the start of each line,
i.e. “25E”. The value after the beam name relates to the L-band beam frequency followed by the baud
rate, which is typically 1200 bps. The signal strength will be found in the 8th field along for each beam
line. Signal strengths are output in dB and a value of 36.5dB or above is optimal.
When in Auto beam mode the terminal output will be similar to the below:
LBANDTRACKSTAT WCOM1_30 0 50.5 FINESTEERING 2062 457753.000
0a000020 29e3 15441
