Complete these steps to find and record the output TSID information required for
the osmAutoMux.cfg file.
1.
From the DNCS Administrative Console, click the Element Provisioning tab.
2.
Click QAM. The QAM List window opens.
3.
Using the information in the QAM List window, record the name and the
output TSID for each of the following QAM types in the order presented.
•
•
Primary (local) BFS QAM for the primary headend
•
Video QAMs for the primary headend
•
Secondary BFS QAM for the secondary headend
•
Video QAMs for the secondary headend
•
(if applicable) BFS QAM for an additional headend
•
(if applicable) video QAMs for an additional headend
Important: You may have multiple rows for each output on a BFS QAM. For
example, if you are using and MQAM as a BFS QAM, the QAM List window
contains a separate row for each output on the MQAM. Record the output
TSID for each output on the MQAM (4 outputs).
4.
If you have additional headends, continue the same pattern described in step
3 to record the QAM Name and Output TSID for the BFS QAM and all video
QAMs for each headend.
5.
When you have finished recording the output TSIDs for the BFS QAMs and
video QAMs in each headend, select File and choose Close to close the QAM
List window.
Obtaining Headend IDs
Complete these steps to obtain headend IDs. For the primary BFS QAM in the
primary headend, you must query the database for the real headend ID. For your
