4 Turn on the passthrough functionality by typing the following command and
pressing Enter:
pidmode 1 0x0 999
Note: This command allows port 1 on the MQAM to pass 999 PIDs starting with
pidmode 1 0x0 999
Note: This command allows port 1 on the MQAM to pass 999 PIDs starting with
the number 0x0 without encryption. The MQAM stores the information in non-
volatile random-access memory (NVRAM) so that the setting is preserved if the
MQAM is rebooted.
5 Reboot the MQAM by typing the following command and pressing Enter:
boot
Result: Port 1 on the MQAM is now in passthrough mode and passes all PIDs
Result: Port 1 on the MQAM is now in passthrough mode and passes all PIDs
without encryption.
6 Repeat steps 1 through 5 for any additional MQAMs.
Optional Commands for the Passthrough MQAM
If you want to encrypt a block of specific PIDs through the passthrough MQAM
If you want to encrypt a block of specific PIDs through the passthrough MQAM
port, you can use optional parameters to specify exceptions to the passthrough
mode. The PIDs must be in a consecutive numerical block and you must provide the
hexadecimal numerical equivalent of the first PID in the block.
To set up a PID block range in the passthrough port that the MQAM will encrypt,
To set up a PID block range in the passthrough port that the MQAM will encrypt,
type the following command at the MQAM prompt in your terminal emulation
program and press Enter:
pidmode 1 [hexadecimal starting PID] [decimal number of PID range]
Example:
Typing pidmode 1 0x1FF0 15 gives you the following results:
Typing pidmode 1 0x1FF0 15 gives you the following results:
The MQAM is setup for passthrough mode, passing through PIDs with values
from 0x0 to 0x1FEF.
The MQAM does not pass through 15 consecutive PIDs with values starting at
0x1FF0 (0x1FF0 to 0x1FFE). These PIDs can be used for DNCS-inserted packets.
Note: You can specify up to three blocks that identify exceptions to the passthrough
mode. Be sure that you know the exact hexadecimal PID values for each block. The
MQAM software will not allow you to overlap block values.
