Cisco Headend System Release 2.5 Technical References

  

 

Cisco has developed software patches to address PowerKEY

®

 CableCARD™ 

Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI) issues for sites running System Release 
(SR) 2.2/3.2 Service Pack 5 (SP5) or SR 2.5/3.5/4.0 Service Pack 2 (SP2). Sites 
running either of these system releases must install these patches in order to be able 
to use newly manufactured PowerKEY CableCARD modules that contain new OUIs. 
Without these patches, your system will not be able to authorize these new 
PowerKEY CableCARD modules. The following change requests (CRs) address 
these issues: 

 

CR 45198 corrected a condition where the Digital Network Control System 
(DNCS) only supported the OUI values of 00:02:DE, 00:0A:73, 00:0F:21, and 
00:11:E6. These values and their associated encoded representation are now 
placed into a data table to support the addition of new values when necessary. 

 

CR 63744 corrected a condition where the root inventory file structure was not  
word-aligned. This kept the DNCS from reading the file which also prevented 
the DNCS from correctly updating its OUI record. 

The following patches for these issues are now available: 

 

For SR 2.2/3.2 (SP5): 

DNCS 3.0.1.16p18.2 

GUI 3.0.1.16p13.2 

WUI 3.0.1.16p5.2 

 

For SR 2.5/3.5/4.0 SP2—4.0.0.31p2 for DNCS, GUI, and WUI
