Configure the CableCARD Server
After you upgrade your system to SR 2.8.2/3.8.2/4.3.2, the Set Authorization Time-
Out Period and Set DeAuthorization Time-Out Period fields on the Configure
CableCARD Server window need to be set at specific values. These values instruct
the CableCARD server when to stop adding authorization and deauthorization
records to the BFS file, which keeps the BFS file from growing too large. The
instructions in this section guide you through the necessary steps.

Note: Beginning with the upgrade to SR 4.2, the value stored in the Max Key Session
Period is multiplied by a factor of 10. This does not change the value received by the
CableCARD, however. See CR 46084 for additional information.
