Cisco DNCS System Release 2.8.1 3.8.1 4.3.1 User Guide

Use the following fields when you manage an analog source in the DNCS.

Distribution

Defines how the source is distributed:



Default - Distributes the source to all hubs.



Hub - Distributes the source to the specific hub defined in Hub Name.

Hub Name

The hub name that receives content from this source.

This option is only activated if you selected the Hub option in the Distribution
field.

Analog Channel ID

The number of the channel where you want to display this service. 

This number must correspond to a channel number as defined by the Electronic
Industries Alliance (EIA).

Note: Subscribers will see a blank channel until either the source is saved or the time that you specify
arrives.

Date/Time

Allows you to define when subscribers can start viewing content from this
source:



Now - The service is available for viewing immediately.



Custom - Enter a specific date and time for service availability in the

Effective Date and Effective Time fields.

Effective Date

The month, day, and year you want subscribers to be able to start viewing
content from this source.

You must type two digits for the month and day, and four digits for the year. 

Example: For July 4, 2007, type 07042007. The system inputs the slashes for
you and displays 07/04/2007.

This option is only activated if you select the Custom option in the Date/Time
field.

Effective Time

The hour, minute, and second you want subscribers to be able to start seeing
content from this source. 

You must type two digits for each value.

you and displays 08:00:00. 

Note: You can also represent time in the 24-hour format. For example,
18:30:00 would represent 6:30 p.m.
