Cisco DNCS System Release 2.8.1 3.8.1 4.3.1 User Guide

Use the following fields when you configure DHCTs to download images from a specific bootloader carousel.

DHCT Type

The device that receives the new image.

Group

The file that corresponds to the new application platform
release that you want to download.

Field Description

The group of devices to which you want to download the
image.

Downloading Schedule

The download method you want to use. The following
download methods are supported:



Normal - Causes the set-top to download the

image after the set-top is powered on for two
minutes.



Immediate - Causes the set-top to download

the image in a relatively short amount of time. 

Important: This method interrupts watching
TV, PPV, VOD, and other services.



Emergency - Causes the set-top to download

the image immediately, without displaying a barker
for the subscriber.

Carousel

The bootloader carousel that the download device uses to
download the image.

Important: When you set up multiple bootloader
carousels, send each DHCT image using only one
bootloader source. Attempting to send the same DHCT
image to two different bootloader sources at the same
time will cause the system to display a Save Failed error
message when saving the image to the second bootloader
source.
