Before you start using the DTACS WUI, please note these important points. 

 

The channel map of a BSG is determined by the channel map of the DNCS Hub ID 
that is associated with the BSG. 

 

PID routes are created automatically and are based on the sources in the VCTs. 
Therefore, you must configure VCTs before you edit PID Routes. 

Note: MQAMs are the only element types that you can edit on the PID Route 
Provisioning WUI. You cannot edit GQAM element types. 

 

Important: If you attempt to start a DTACS process from the command line while all 
of the DTACS server processes are already running, you could cause the process to 
core dump or otherwise disrupt the normal operation of the DTACS server.  If this 
occurs, you should send the core files and logs should to Cisco for evaluation. 
1  Type sux - dtacs and then press Enter to assume the dtacs role. A prompt for the 

role's password appears. 
Important: If you have not yet created a password for the dtacs user, open a new 
window and switch to root. Type passwd dtacs and enter a password when 
prompted. Re-enter the password when prompted. 

2  Type the dtacs password and press Enter. A system prompt appears and 

/export/home/dtacs becomes the active directory. 

3  Type dtacsStart and press Enter. The dtacs processes start. 

Important: Be certain that you are starting the DTACS processes as dtacs user. 
Do not start the processes as root user.
