Upgrading the QAM Modulator With QAM Software Version 2.3.5 
78-738174-01 Rev B 
Determine Existing Broadcast Sessions 
Introduction 
By using Cisco’s Report Writer, you can generate a report that lists the existing 
broadcast sessions in your system along with the channels and sources in your 
system. This section describes how to generate, save, and print the Channels, Sources 
& Sessions Report, which lists this information. 
Note:  If your QAM modulator will carry VOD sessions, you do not need to generate 
the Channels, Sources & Sessions Report. VOD sessions are set up as needed when a 
subscriber requests a session. 
Description 
The Channels, Sources & Sessions Report lists each display channel (channel number) 
in the system. It also displays information about the carriage of each channel (how 
the channel is transmitted on the DBDS), starting from each source in your system, 
and ending with each QAM modulator in your system.  
Channels, Sources & Sessions Report Information 
The following screen shows an example of the Channels, Sources & Sessions Report, 
and highlights information helpful in verifying a successful upgrade. 
 
 
 
The 
 
Channel Num
 
column lists the display 
 
channels in your system. Display channels 
 
are those to which you can tune the DHCT 
 
to receive each service. 
 
The 
 
Session ID
 
column lists 
 
the sessions that a QAM 
 
modulator carries. 
 
The 
 
QAM Name
 
column lists the name of each 
 
QAM modulator, uniquely identifying each QAM 
 
modulator in the system.
