Cisco DNCS System Release 2.8.1 3.8.1 4.3.1 User Guide

After you have used the filter to display session data, complete these steps to display details about a session.

1.

If you have not already done so, display the session for which you want to view details. For assistance,

2.

From the Session Summary window, click the session ID for the session that you want to examine in

more detail. The Session Details window opens and displays the following information about the session:





MPEG Program number of the session - The MPEG program number given to this

session when it was built.



PMT PID - The packet identifier (PID) that carries the program map table (PMT) for

this program. The PMT gives details about a program and the elementary streams that
comprise it.



PCR PID - The PID that carries the program clock reference (PCR) for this program so

the DHCT can synchronize video and audio elementary streams.



ECM PID - The PID that carries the entitlement control message (ECM) for the

program. ECMs enable an event to be encrypted for transmission to a DHCT and allow
the event to be decrypted by the DHCT if the DHCT is properly provisioned. ECMs are
generated by the DBDS whenever a package starts and its segments are active. 

Note: A PID distinguishes transport packets containing the data of one elementary
stream from those carrying the data of other elementary streams.





Device Name - the name of the element that carries the session



Input Port - the number of the port that receives the session



Input TSID - the identifier of the transport stream as it enters the device that carries

this session



Input Program Number - the number of the program as it enters the device



Output Port - the number of the port where the session exits the device



Output TSID - the identifier of the transport stream as it exits the device that carries

this session



Output Program Number - the number of the program as it exits the device





Resource Number - The number assigned to the resource you selected.



Resource Type - The type of resources the session uses. 



State - Lists the current state of the resource. The DNCS lists the following states:

o

Active resources for session that are currently running. 

o

Pending resources for sessions that have been set up but have not yet

reached their start times.

o

Completed resources for sessions that have successfully completed, or have

been torn down by the user.
