4.2.3 ENTERING A CUSTOM BEAM FREQUENCY
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
4.2.4 TRACKED L-BAND BEAM AND SIGNAL STRENGTH STATUS
The presently tracked L-band beam/s and signal strength/s can be found by entering:
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 8
th
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:
