Cisco DNCS System Release 2.8.1 3.8.1 4.3.1 User Guide

After you set up the basic parameters for an IF GoQAM modulator, complete these steps to set up the
connections between the modulator and its associated MPEG source.

1.

On the Set Up IF GoQAM window, click the Connectivity tab. The Connectivity window opens with a

graphical representation of the devices already connected to this IF GoQAM modulator.

2.

If not already selected, click to select the first Input Port (Pair 1 Clear) option.

.

Use the following fields when you manage connections for an IF GoQAM.

Headend Name

The headend in which the device that feeds or receives data from the
modulator resides.

Device Type

The type of MPEG source device being used to send data to this modulator (for
example, IRT, MDR and Service Group Object).

Device Name

The name of the source device.

The options that appear on this window after Device Name depend upon what you selected for the
Device Type. As you finish completing this window, keep in mind that the information being requested
is about the MPEG source associated with this modulator.

Example: If your MPEG source were a VOD server, you would have selected a Device Type of Service
Group Object. Then, in addition to the Device Name, you would need to specify the number that
identifies the output port on the MPEG source (the VOD server) that is physically connected to the
input port on this modulator.

4.

Click Apply. The system saves this information in the DNCS database and updates the illustration so

that it shows the information you entered.

5.

Click to select the second input port and repeat this procedure from step 3 to set up the connectivity

parameters for the second input port on the IF GoQAM modulator.
