In this procedure, you will inspect the front panel of the BFS QAM to confirm that 
the BFS QAM is indeed configured for ASI. If the front panel reveals that the BFS 
QAM is not configured for ASI, you need to manually configure it. The following 
procedure guides you through the necessary steps. 
1  Press the Options button on the front panel of the BFS QAM until Input 

Selection appears. 

2  Does the Input Selection field reveal that the BFS QAM is configured for ASI? 

 

If yes, skip the remainder of this procedure and go to Re-Cable the System 
for ASI (on page 138). 

 

If no, continue with step 3. 

3  Press the up or down arrow button until ASI appears in the Input Selection 

field. 

4  Press Enter to save the newly configured BFS QAM. 

 

Now that the BFS QAM is configured for ASI, your next step is to configure the 
cabling of the BFS QAM. Follow these instructions to re-cable the system for ASI. 
1  Remove the SWIF cable from the back of the BFS QAM. 
2  Connect one end of the ASI cable to the back of the BFS QAM and connect the 

other end to the ASI connector on the back of the DNCS. 

 

Check the front panel of the BFS QAM periodically for an hour, or so. Make sure that 
the Input Selection field still reads ASI. If it no longer reads ASI, reset it to ASI.
