To help you understand the purpose of the TED FX server, this section provides a 

detailed description of the TED FX server and a diagram of the front and back panels 

of the TED FX server. 

 

The TED FX is a server that provides a security feature for allowing selective access 

to secured broadcast services, pay-per-view (PPV) services, impulse pay-per-view 

(IPPV) services, and video-on-demand (VOD) services. This security feature is 

known as encryption, which only allows authorized set-tops access to secured 

services. 
TED FX servers prior to Rev D run on a Linux operating system version 6.0 and 

include a network interface card, Rainbow CryptoSwift CryptoGraphic Accelerator 

Version 2, which increases the transaction encryption rate of the TED FX server. 

EMMs are encrypted messages addressed to specific set-tops to allow delivery of 

secure authorizations. The TED FX server encrypts approximately 150 EMMs per 

second and then sends those EMMs to the DNCS/ISDS for transporting throughout 

the network. 
Rev D TED FX servers run on a Linux operating system version 7.0 and also include 

a network interface card, Rainbow CryptoSwift CryptoGraphic Accelerator  

Version 2.
