After you set up the BFS, you must define an xOD package. A package consists of 

one or more services that are available only to specifically authorized subscribers. 
For example, because secure services are encrypted, the only way for a subscriber to 

access a secure service is for you to place the service in a package. Then, you can 

authorize the subscriber’s DHCT to receive that package. When you authorize the 

DHCT to receive the package, you enable the DHCT to decrypt the service so that 

the subscriber can view it. 
Important: If you have an existing package that you want to use for xOD, you do not 

need to complete this procedure. Instead, go to Determining the xOD Package EID 

(on page 45). 

 

Complete these steps to define an xOD service package. 
Note: If you have an existing package that you want to use for an xOD service, you 

do not need to complete this procedure for that service. Instead, you can go to 

Determining the xOD Package EID, later in this section.
