Set Up CF Sessions for the Additional BFS QAM
The DBDS uses sessions to deliver data to the set-tops through the BFS QAM. In a
distributed BFS plant, additional BFS QAMs are set up in the system to deliver data
to set-tops in remote locations. Each BFS QAM typically has twelve sessions. For
each additional QAM, you must set up additional source definitions and sessions.
This section provides instructions for setting up CF sessions for the additional BFS
QAMs in a distributed BFS.
