Cisco DNCS System Release 2.8.1 3.8.1 4.3.1 User Guide

Use the following fields when you manage the connections for an MPEG content source.

Port Number

The number that identifies the output port on this MPEG source that is
physically connected to the input port on the associated content QAM,
MQAM, GQAM, or GoQAM modulator. Start with the first available port
number. We recommend starting with 0 (zero).

Transport Stream ID

The number that identifies the transport stream going from this MPEG source
to the associated content QAM, MQAM, GQAM, or GoQAM modulator. 

For VOD, this number must correspond with the ASI input (usually on your
network map) on the associated QAM, MQAM, GQAM, or GoQAM modulator.

Important: If you are using our Overlay solution, make certain to enter a
TSID that

is within the range reserved for our devices. This range is listed to the right of
the TSID field for easy reference.
