Disabling OSM Automux
738185 Rev B
Verify Your Configuration
Overview
Before you remove OSM Automux, ensure your system meets both of the following
requirements:
•
•
The distributed BFS QAMs use the same frequency as the primary BFS QAM.
•
All BFS QAMs use the same program number for the OSM session.
Complete the following procedures to verify both of these requirements are met.
Checking BFS QAM Frequencies
Complete these steps to verify all distributed BFS QAMs use the same frequency as
the primary BFS QAM.
1.
On the DNCS Administrative Console, click the DNCS tab and then the
Element Provisioning tab.
2.
Click QAM. The QAM List window opens.
3.
Select the row corresponding to the primary BFS QAM.
4.
Note the frequency in the Channel Center Frequency column and record the
frequency.
Primary BFS QAM Frequency: _________________
Primary BFS QAM Frequency: _________________
5.
From the QAM List, verify that the frequency for each of your secondary BFS
QAMs matches the frequency you recorded in step 4.
6.
When you have finished verifying frequencies, close the QAM List window
from the File menu.
7.
Did the frequencies for every secondary BFS QAM match the frequency for
the primary BFS QAM?
•
•
If yes, continue to the next check, Verifying Program Numbers.
Important: The frequencies must be the same for all BFS QAMs, including
Important: The frequencies must be the same for all BFS QAMs, including
the local BFS QAM, to meet this requirement.
•
If no, do not remove OSM Automux.
