Verify the Number of Sessions Before Deleting an 
Inband Source 
Overview 
When a source is deleted from the system, the session count on the QAM carrying 
that inband source will decrease. By verifying the session count prior to deleting an 
inband source, you can determine whether the inband source was successfully 
deleted at the end of these procedures. 
 
Verifying the Number of Sessions on the QAM 
Important! If your system is running in an RCS environment, you will need to locate 
the respective QAM that is carrying the session you wish to delete. 
1  Facing the front of the QAM modulator, press the OPTIONS button to cycle 
through the QAM menu screens until you see the Session Count screen. 
Example: The following diagram shows an example of the Session Count screen. 
 
2  Record the number of sessions in the space provided. 
Total Session Count: _______ 
Note: The session count will be referenced after you have completed the 
remaining procedures in this chapter. This value will allow you to verify that 
you have successfully deleted all sessions on the QAM after you have changed 
its configuration.
