Page 6: Enabling The Ld8 For Veripos Services
VERIPOS correction signals are provided as a chargeable service. In order for the LD8 to decode corrections and output a corrected position it must be activated. The user can send a request for an activation of services to the VERIPOS Helpdesk and the activation will then be sent via L-band satellite to the requested unit. -

LD8 for operation. Internet Explorer comes pre-loaded onto VERIPOS PCs when issued with the unit. The LD8 is shipped with a factory default IP address of 192.168.2.8. The connecting PC or laptop should be configured to use the same IP subnet. -
Page 15: Configuration And Operation
Configuration and Operation 4 CONFIGURATION AND OPERATION There are two ways in which the LD8 can be configured; via the WebUI or by using a licensed version of the VERIPOS Quantum software. It is recommended to use Quantum (see the Quantum User Manual) if available. -

4.1.2 SAVING CHANGES Whilst configuring the LD8 via the WebUI terminal, any configuration changes made will not get automatically saved. Although any configuration changes made may appear to immediately work, without use of a save command these changes will be lost in the event of a power cycle. -
Page 17: L-Band Configuration
L-band tracking in order to make use of VERIPOS services. 4.2.1 SELECTING AUTO BEAM Auto Beam is the recommended way to manage L-band beam choices. When in this mode the LD8 will track up to three beams simultaneously, with tracking determined based on available L-band satellites and elevation. -
Page 18: Entering A Custom Beam Frequency
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... -
Page 19: Activation And Deactivation Of Veripos Services
Configuration and Operation 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. -
Page 20: Calculation Configuration
Some VERIPOS service codes include both the Apex and Ultra solutions. The LD8 can only compute one solution at a time, which can be specified by using the PPPSOURCE command. Where only one of the PPP services is enabled it is still required to match the selection to the activated service. -
