The procedure in this section covers a global configuration. When you send a
global configuration, all set-tops in your system are affected.

If you want to send a configuration to all the set-tops in a hub, see Build and Send
a Configuration to All Set-Tops in a Single Hub in Chapter 1.
•
If you want to change a setting for only one Set-Top, see Send a Configuration to
a Single Set-Top in Chapter 1.
•
If you want to set the Staging Defaults, see Set Staging Defaults in Chapter 1.
Recommended Setting
Enable the option to allow subscribers to choose whether the AC outlet on the set-
top is always on or turns on and off with the set-top.
A Note About DNCS Settings
The parameters for controlling the AC Outlet appear on several different tabs of the
DNCS. Policy decisions that you make for Global Defaults affect the options that you
will see for Staging Defaults and set-top menus. The main distinction is whether a
control is made visible to the subscriber or hidden from the subscriber. For any
setting that you hide from the subscriber, the operation is determined by the setting
in the Set Up Global DHCT Configuration. For any setting that you make visible to
the subscriber, a default must be established in the Setup Staging Defaults windows
so that the desired operation occurs for those subscribers who have not accessed
these settings.
