Configuration and Operation
LD8 Operations Manual AB-V-MA-00635_RevA2 19
4.3 ACTIVATION AND DEACTIVATION OF VERIPOS SERVICES
To activate or deactivate VERIPOS services, firstly ensure that the LD8 is switched on and tracking a L-band
beam with a healthy signal level (>36.5 dB). Tracking of a L-band beam is required as activation and
deactivation requests are sent via the beam.
Email the VERIPOS Helpdesk with the unit ID, vessel name, organisation, vessel SAL number and services
required.
NOTE
The VERIPOS Helpdesk cannot enable services unless an active SAL exists. To avoid delay,
please make sure that the SAL number is known and available prior to requesting services.
4.3.1 CHECKING UNIT ACTIVATION STATUS
To check the present activation status of an LD8 enter:
LOG VERIPOSSTATUSA
The unit activation status can be either ENABLE (or) DISABLE.
The unit L-band sync status can be either LOCKED (or) NO_SIGNAL. For activation of VERIPOS services the
unit is required to have a sync status of LOCKED. Refer to section L-band Configuration for assistance on
selecting an L-band beam if required.
An example of a status message response, with activation status showing DISABLE and Sync status LOCKED:

DISABLE,LOCKED*0d439ce3
4.3.2 CHECKING UNIT ID AND ACTIVATION SERVICE CODE
If in doubt as to the LD8 unit ID and/or the activation service code enter the following:
LOG VERIPOSINFO
The LD8 unit ID is required for VERIPOS to activate services and each activation/deactivation is unique to
each unit ID. The activation service code can be used to determine what services the unit is activated to
receive.
In the below terminal output, the unit has been successfully activated and the unit ID has been highlighted,
followed by the service activation code:
VERIPOSINFO WCOM1 0 66.0 FINESTEERING 2039 314993.573 02008020 2bd7 14970
<123456 NCC_CONTROLLED 80000111 "2"
In the below terminal output the unit has not yet been activated. The unit ID has been highlighted and no value
yet exists for the service activation code:
VERIPOSINFO WCOM1 0 66.5 FINESTEERING 2040 378378.140 03008020 2bd7 14970
<123456 UNASSIGNED 00000000 ""
NOTE
While a unit may be enabled for single PPP services it may not be fully utilising the service as further
configuration may be required to choose which VERIPOS PPP service to use (APEX or ULTRA).
