Configuring Secondary BFS QAMs on an SDV 
System (Optional) 
Introduction 
If you are currently utilizing Distributed BFS and you are upgrading your system to 
support SDV, the system automatically adds sources 24 through 32 and 
automatically disables any newly created sources. Any existing sources will be 
disabled. These additional sources will need to be added to all of your secondary 
BFS QAMs. 
Note: If your site does not support the SDV option, you may skip the procedures in 
this section. 
This section provides procedures for sites using either a BFS BIG or a Direct ASI 
model. Choose the procedure that pertains to your system. 
 
Adding BFS Sources - Sites Using a BFS BIG 
Complete the following procedure if your DNCS uses a BFS BIG to distribute the 
BFS carousel data. 
1  Open the Set Up BIG window by following the quick path: 
DNCS Administrative Console > Network Element Provisioning tab > BIG > 
File > Open
 
2  Click PAT Configuration to open the BIG PAT window. 
3  Verify the BIG PAT Session Number and Program Number data, making sure 
that your Program Numbers are sequentially in order and in line with the 
Session Numbers. 
Note: Your DNCS sessions 2 through 22 should not change; however, DNCS 
sessions greater than 22 must be deleted and reentered with the correct 
sequential Program Number. 
Example: BIG PAT Session Number and Program Number Data (Program 
Numbers in Sequential Order and in line with Session Numbers)
