Important! You might have multiple rows for each output on a BFS QAM. For
example, if you are using an 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

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
other headends, use an arbitrary but unique number for each headend ID.

ID. For example, you could assign a headend ID of 2 to the secondary BFS QAM
and all video QAMs in the secondary headend. You could assign a headend ID
of 3 to the tertiary BFS QAM and all video QAMs in the tertiary headend, and so
on. Record the values you devise in the QAM Record worksheet.
