System operators or engineers who use the podConvert utility to convert 
CableCARD MAC Addresses to POD IDs will typically use the toc file as the source 
of MAC Addresses. The toc file is automatically generated whenever system 
operators extract an EMM delivery file. When extracted, the toc file is automatically 
placed in a directory named according to the date of the EMM delivery file. 

Important:  System operators or engineers who use the podConvert utility to convert 
CableCARD MAC Addresses to POD IDs must know the following information: 

 

The directory on the DNCS into which they load the EMM delivery file 

 

The name of the directory into which the toc file is automatically extracted 
Note:  This directory is a subdirectory of where the EMM delivery file is loaded.  
Engineers at Cisco Services can help you find these directories if you are unsure. 

Additionally, during conversion of CableCARD MAC Addresses to POD IDs, the 
podConvert utility writes the list of POD IDs to a file specified by the user of the 
utility. System operators must know where they want to store this file, as well as 
what they want to call it.
