Introduction
The PowerKEY CableCARD (CableCARD) module and the PowerKEY Multi-Stream
CableCARD module (M-Card) are Cisco’s unique hardware modules developed to
provide subscribers with controlled conditional access to secure digital content.
Whether paired with an SSC (Separable Security Host with CableCARD module)
Digital Home Communications Terminal (DHCT), a digital set-top, or any other host
device, the CableCARD or M-Card module must receive an initial configuration in
order to function properly.

Purpose
This guide provides instructions for setting up and configuring the CableCARD and
M-Card modules and the CableCARD Server on the Digital Network Control System
(DNCS). This guide also provides procedures for configuring the emergency alert
system (EAS) to properly function with the CableCARD and M-Card modules. In
addition, this guide also includes a brief overview on how to verify that the
CableCARD and M-Card modules are setup and configured correctly.
