Testing the Distributed BFS Configuration 
Your next step is to verify that you successfully set up your distributed BFS 
configuration. 
To verify that you have successfully set up your distributed BFS configuration, you 
must test the operation of the set-tops in your system to ensure that they are 
receiving data from all the BFS QAMs. 
 
Note: Perform this test for each BFS QAM on each hub. 
1  Unplug a test set-top on a remote headend and plug it back in. 
2  Wait for about 3 minutes for the set-top to reboot. 
3  Using your remote control, buy an impulse pay-per-view (IPPV) movie. 
4  Tune to all digital channels. 
5  Verify that 7 days of IPG information is available. 
6  Stage a set-top. 
7  Is the set-top operating normally? 
 
If yes, you have successfully completed this procedure.
