Click Save. The new group appears in the list of group descriptions on the DHCT Groups tab.
Note: A device should be connected to the network within 2 hours of adding it to the group. If the device
is not connected within 2 hours, the device does not receive a group assignment until the DNCS
database cycles through all in-service devices (at a rate of approximately one device per second).
Depending on the number of devices in your system, this process could take a significant amount of
time.

group:
Set-tops: Go to the diagnostic screens and view the Group ID field. This group ID should
match the group ID displayed in the Set Up DHCT Group window on the DNCS.
Note: The group ID on the DHCT diagnostic screen is in hexadecimal format. The group ID on
the DNCS is in decimal format. You might need to convert the group ID to verify this step.

CableCARD modules: You cannot determine the group assignment of the CableCARD module
from its diagnostic screens. Diagnostic screens are different for each host vendor. You can only
determine that the CableCARD module downloaded software after you complete the download
process. Go to Updating CVT Test Groups.
