Meaning
checksum
x x x request firmware checksum
forcefix
x x force GPS module to find new position fix
initorb
x x x simulates a default user command to start Orbcomm

option is installed). Enter message mode (normal or
globalgram) and gateway ID (1-255) when prompted
Reset
x x x reset buoy to power-up state
setbat
x x x set installed battery energy. You will be prompted
for:
Nb: number of batteries installed
Eb: energy per battery (in Wh)
The total energy Nb×Eb is stored in non-volatile
memory (NVM) and used by the onboard energy
consumption meter. Command must be executed
after every battery change or when exchanging
electronics units (see subsection 5.11.6)
setconfig
x x x set buoy configuration (parameters depend on buoy
type and installed options, settings are stored in

startdebug
x x x enter verbose mode for trouble shooting
startlog
x x x
