Understand Binding Types
Binding is a DNCS function that matches the CableCARD or M-Card module to the
host. You must bind a CableCARD or M-Card module to its host before the host can
display "high-value" copy-protected services (services with copy protection settings
of either copy one generation or copy never).

display "high-value" copy-protected services (services with copy protection settings
of either copy one generation or copy never).
Important:
Until you bind the host and the CableCARD or M-Card module, the host will not

CableCARD or M-Card module is inserted into a host that supports two-way
communications. Autobinding will be supported if all of the following
conditions are met:
-
The DNCS is configured to support autobinding.
-
The host supports two-way communications.
-
The CableCARD or M-Card module obtains an IP address.
Note: To support autobinding, the CableCARD or M-Card module and host
must be bound in a two-way environment. Once bound, they may be
operated in a one-way environment to view high-value content.
