Add Another BFS QAM to the DNCS
After you add an emulated MUX to the DNCS, your next step is to add another BFS
QAM to the DNCS database to receive data from that device. This section provides
instructions for adding another BFS QAM to the DNCS.

Note: If you already have another BFS QAM in your system, you do not need to add
one.

Before You Begin
Before you add another BFS QAM to the DNCS, you must have your network map.
If you cannot locate your network map, contact Cisco Services. You must also have
the following information:
If you cannot locate your network map, contact Cisco Services. You must also have
the following information:
Name of the headend containing the QAM
Name used to identify the QAM
IP address for the QAM (from your system administrator)
MAC address for the QAM
Subnet mask for the QAM (from your system administrator)
Type of input interface that will be receiving data from the associated device
(ASI, DHEI, or SWIF)
Note: Verify that the QAM you are using has inputs compatible with the outputs
of your multiplexing device.
