10 Click File, and then select Source Definitions. The Source Definition List
window opens for the source you selected.
11 Do you have existing source definitions?
If yes, in the Source Definition List window, locate and delete all existing
source definitions for mirror QAMs.
Note: When you delete these source definitions, the DNCS prompts you to
tear down the session associated with this source definition. Answer Yes to
this prompt to tear down the active session on the Mirror QAM. (You will
lose service for this source.) You will delete this mirror QAM later, in
Deleting Existing Mirror QAMs (on page 11).

12 Read the following instruction before proceeding to step 13.
Important: Before you define any sources, you must determine how many
source definitions you need. You must create a unique source definition for any
service that has a unique frequency, MPEG number, or modulation scheme. In
order to simplify the configuration, we recommend that you configure your
QAM frequencies to be the same for these types of services.
Example: An off air service is carried to most hubs by a single QAM or by
multiple QAMs at 573 MHz, but some hubs carry the service at 561 MHz. You
must define a source for 573 MHz and make it a default distribution. Then you
must create a separate source definition for each hub that receives the service at
561 MHz, and select "Hub" distribution.
