If all of your MQAMs carry xOD or VOD sessions, you are ready to begin 
downloading the new software to the MQAMs. Go to Download Software to the 
MQAM Devices (on page 21).  

Note: Because xOD and VOD sessions are not pre-configured, but are set up as 
needed when a subscriber requests them, generating a list of existing sessions is not 
necessary. 

 

If you have MQAMs that carry broadcast sessions, use our DNCS Report Writer to 
view the Channels, Sources & Sessions Report. This report lists the existing 
broadcast sessions in your system along with the channels and sources in your 
system that each modulator currently carries.  

The Channels, Sources & Sessions Report lists each display channel (channel number) 
in the system. The report also displays information about the carriage of each channel 
(how the channel is transmitted on the DBDS). The report maps each source to the 
transport device used to deliver the source (analog frequency on MQAMs). 

Generating this report helps you to determine which sessions/services are carried by 
each MQAM. This report also helps you to verify that these sessions are successfully 
rebuilt after the new software is downloaded to the MQAM. 

You can also use the DNCS Session List to determine the existing broadcast sessions 
in your system.  

Important: Refer to the DNCS Report Writer Version 3.5 User's Guide (part number 
734347) or the DNCS Online Help for your system for further assistance.
