Introduction 
This section describes the hardware and software requirements that must be in place 
in your system before you can install xOD 1.6 or upgrade your system to xOD 1.6. 
 
Antecedents 
The xOD 1.6 application carries forward the enhancements and features of the  
xOD 1.5 application. The xOD 1.5 application must be in place before you upgrade to 
xOD 1.6. You cannot upgrade directly to xOD 1.6 from a version earlier than xOD 
1.5. 
 
Check the Currently Installed Software Version 
Before you upgrade to xOD 1.6, complete the following steps to ensure that xOD 1.5 
is installed on your system.

Hardware Requirements 
Before you install xOD, you must have all of the hardware components responsible 
for processing xOD content physically installed in your system and configured in the 
DNCS. The steps for configuring these components in the DNCS are contained in the 
Digital Network Control System (DNCS) Online Help
In addition to the standard DBDS equipment, you must have one video server per 
xOD service you plan to offer, and one xOD Application Services Interface (ASI) 
server. ISA systems must include a Back Office Management System (BMS) server. 
You must also have a test Digital Home Communications Terminal (DHCT) to verify 
that your installation was successful when you finish. 
If you purchased your ASI server from another vendor, you need these additional 
items, which you can obtain from Sun Microsystems: 
 
Lights Out Management (LOM) serial adapter
