Provisioning the USRM for SDV on 
the DNCS 
Overview 
Introduction 
The Model D9510 Universal Session and Resource Manager (USRM) is an integral 
component of the Cisco
®
 Service Exchange Network. Based on a standard 
Intel/Linux server, the USRM supports all major Video-on-Demand (VOD) and 
Switched Digital Video (SDV) interfaces and protocols. The USRM is integrated 
with the Digital Broadband Delivery System (DBDS) and enables systems to 
distribute and scale the real-time session and resource management functions of 
the Digital Network Control System (DNCS). 
Important: USRM requires DNCS System Release (SR) 4.2.1.28 or later. 
 
Purpose 
This document provides instructions on setting up the DNCS to provision the 
USRM as an SDV server when the USRM is configured to operate in supervised 
mode. This document also assumes that you have already installed and 
configured the USRM for SDV. 
Note: It is beyond the scope of this document to provide detailed procedures for 
installing and configuring the USRM or for setting up the USRM in unsupervised 
mode. For information on installing or configuring the USRM, refer to the 
Universal Session and Resource Manager Installation and Operation Guide (part 
number 4021139). 
 
Audience 
This document is written for system operators who configure interactive services, 
applications, and third-party applications onto the DNCS and the DBDS.
