Zone Provisioning
The Zone feature of USRM Server lets you configure up to 10 unique zones per
server and associate individual service groups with these zones. You can use zones
for Advertising zone functionality or for remote network control system (RNCS)
zone functionality. You can associate multiple service groups with a zone, but there
can be only one zone per service group.
For each program offered in the switched tier, you can create zone versions of the
For each program offered in the switched tier, you can create zone versions of the
program. When a client requests a switched program, the server tests to see if a zone
version of the program exists, and if so, delivers that program.
Creating zone programs is similar to creating other programs in a digital broadband
Creating zone programs is similar to creating other programs in a digital broadband
delivery system. You create a new source definition for an existing source ID, and
then assign a unique multicast destination IP address to the new source. The new
source is then used as the basis for the zone stream.
The USRM Server has several roles in this process:
The USRM Server has several roles in this process:
It associates the multicast destination address of the new zone program with its
default source ID in a given zone.
It lets you create a new source address and UDP port for a zone program that is
different than the source address(es) of the default SDV source ID.
It associates service groups with zones.
You provision zones using the USRM Server web interface. You must access four
pages to provision zone entries:
Applications.SdvSm.Configuration
Applications.SdvSm.Program Zones
Applications.SdvSm.Offered Progs Zones
Applications.SdvSm.Service Groups Config
Note: You must have Administrator privileges to perform zone provisioning.
To Create the Source Definition from the DNCS
You create unique source definitions for zone programs. The source definitions are
created under a shared source ID, but have the zone multicast destination address
(MDA) associated with them. The following illustration shows an example of
creating a source definition for a zone program.
