User-Defined PID Routes 
The DTACS creates PID (Packet Identifier) routes for AMM (Authorization 
Management Message) and SI (System Information) streams automatically. 
However, when sourcing the PSIP/EAS from upstream, the DTACS needs 
information on the multicast source of the PSIP/EAS aggregate and the EIT0-3 
multicast streams. DTACS 1.2 gives operators the ability to configure multicast 
addresses for these streams. The DTACS will automatically create the PID routes for 
these data sources on the QAM carriers carrying DTA content. 
For configuration instructions, see PID Route Provisioning in the Online Help.
