Overview
Introduction
Currently, system releases that support the staging and binding of CableCARD
modules allow 100 CableCARD modules and set-tops to be bound during each
staging period. However, by executing the modCCardStagingLimit script on these
systems, staging personnel can bind up to 1500 CableCARD modules and set-tops
during a staging period. This script supports the following staging methods:

Note: The amount of time required to stage CableCARD modules varies from
system to system; however, a staging period generally takes about two hours.
During a staging period, a paired set-top and CableCARD module download their
respective operating systems and reboot. After this occurs, the CableCARD module
downloads entitlement management messages (EMMs). Finally, the set-top receives
the bindAuth record from the BFS carousel, which enables the set-top and
CableCARD module to bind.
