Cisco DNCS System Release 2.8.1 3.8.1 4.3.1 User Guide

Once set, the InstaStaging process will use these settings for DHCTs that sign on with an administrative status of
Deployed. This topic provides instructions for setting InstaStaging options.

Note: These settings are applied only to DHCTs that are provisioned using default packages. If default packages
are not used, the specific settings assigned to each individual box are applied.

Complete these steps to set InstaStaging options.

1.

On the DNCS Administrative Console, click the DNCS tab.

2.

Click the System Provisioning tab.

3.

Click DNCS System. The DNCS System Configuration window opens.

4.

Click the InstaStaging tab and make the following selections:



Click IPPV Enable to allow DHCTs provisioned with default packages to support IPPV

purchases. (The default setting is Enabled.) When enabled, the IPPV Credit Limit and Maximum
IPPV Events fields become available.



In the IPPV Credit Limit field, enter the credit limit that your company allows for IPPV

purchases. (The default setting is 5.)



In the Maximum IPPV Events field, enter the maximum number of IPPV events that your

company allows for each DHCT. (The default setting is 1.)



Click IPPV Acknowledge to specify whether an "acknowledge" EMM is generated for IPPV

purchases reported by DHCTs. When enabled, an Acknowledge EMM is sent to clear purchase
records from the DHCT. If purchases are not cleared, the DHCT will eventually disallow further
IPPV purchases when the current cache of purchase records equals the number defined by the
Maximum IPPV Events setting. (The default setting is Enabled.)

5.

Click Save. The InstaStaging process uses these settings for all DHCTs that sign on with an

administrative status of Deployed.
