Cisco DNCS System Release 2.8.1 3.8.1 4.3.1 User Guide

When you use the Filter to search for and display service groups, search results are shown in the Service Group
Data window, which lists the following information:

Service Group ID

Shows the unique numerical identifier for the
service group. This field accepts up to 10 digits.

Important: Make certain that this field
contains only numerical characters and that the
field contains no leading or trailing spaces.
Entering alphabetical characters or a leading or
trailing space in this field can cause the service
group and associated resources assigned to the
service group to become non-editable or
non-viewable.

Service Group Name

Shows the name used to identify this service
group.

You can use numbers and letters. We
recommend that you establish a naming scheme
that allows you to easily identify the VOD
service, the QAM, MQAM, or GQAM modulators
providing it, and which hub they serve. 

Example: A name of VOD_SG_Hub1_MQ43
could represent a VOD service group associated
with an MQAM modulator, whose IP address
ends in 43, and that processes VOD data for
Hub 1.

Groups: Available and Selected

Shows the groups that can be assigned to the
parent service group.

Ports: Available and Selected

Shows the ports of the QAM, MQAM, or GQAM
modulators that will provide VOD data for the
service group.
