Notes:  

 

After upgrading to SR 2.7/3.7/4.2 SP2, Source IDs 26, 28, 30, and 32 are created, 
but are disabled by default. 
Important: If a BFS source is enabled prior to the upgrade, the source will remain 
enabled after the upgrade. 

 

The data rate for each source (including source ID 24) should be set to 0.50 Mbps 
and the block size should be 4,000 bytes. 

 

Additional carousels (more than 4) may always be manually configured for a 
system. 

 

When you exceed 475 SDV service groups, refer to the SDV Operator's Guide For 
System Releases 2.7/3.7 or SR 4.2 Service Pack 2 (part number 4019781) for specific 
instructions on how to expand SDV service groups. 

 

The Business Operations Support System (BOSS) package transactions are required 
to successfully use SSC DHCTs in your DBDS. BOSS transactions have been 
enhanced to allow for provisioning of M-Card modules for network operation and 
conditional access. 

 

In SRs earlier than 2.7/3.7/4.2 SP2, if a site utilized a Netcrypt Bulk Encryptor, all 
exclusive sessions were routed through the Netcrypt Bulk Encryptor, regardless of 
whether or not they were clear or encrypted sessions. 

An enhancement to SR 2.7/3.7/4.2 SP2 streamlines the session setup process by not 
requiring that clear sessions be routed through the Netcrypt Bulk Encryptor. 

Note: If your site uses a Network Bulk Encryptor, make sure that your routing 
device contains paths for both encrypted and clear sessions.
