Cisco DNCS System Release 2.8.1 3.8.1 4.3.1 User Guide

The Client Filters windows allow you to change the following settings in the global default DCD (Downstream
Channel Descriptor) file, which supports basic DSG:



Timer Settings - These settings define the overall amount of time a DHCT's embedded cable modem

waits to receive DSG packets. Timer settings can be applied to any system running basic DSG, including
systems that use the PowerKEY® conditional access (CA) method and systems using a third-party CA
method.



Client Filter Settings - These settings control the provisioning of certain DSG client filter settings for

DHCTs that use a third-party CA system and operate in Basic DSG mode. (Unlike the timer settings, the
filter settings can be applied only to systems that use a third-party CA system. They cannot be applied to
systems that use the PowerKEY CA system.)

The DCD file is loaded on the BFS in the following location: BFS:///brf/default_global.dcd.
