Cisco DNCS System Release 2.8.1 3.8.1 4.3.1 User Guide

This section describes how to add a generic QAM modulator to the Generic QAM Modulator window (and to the
DNCS) so that sessions can be set up on the modulator.

Important: Unlike our QAMs, generic QAMs do not support DNCS-supplied provisioning. As a result,
specifications saved to the DNCS when the generic QAM is added (or provisioned) in the DNCS are not provided
to the generic QAM when the modulator reboots. Instead, the generic QAM must be provisioned separately, as
indicated in the manufacturer's documentation. Typically the generic QAM is provisioned through a craft port.

To add a generic QAM to the DNCS, complete the following tasks. For step-by-step instructions for a particular
task, click on that task.

Important: Adding a generic QAM to the DNCS is required in order to set up and manage sessions on the
generic QAM, and it is not required to support DNCS-supplied provisioning of the generic QAM. 

1.

If you have not already done so, add a generic QAM model appropriate to the modulator to the DNCS.
