Before You Begin
Overview
Before you begin to stage DHCTs, follow the recommendations in the first five
chapters of the Explorer Digital Home Communications Terminal Staging Guide (part
number 734375) regarding the staging process, staging preparations, staging area
considerations, obtaining and loading EMM data, and staging non-SSC DHCTs.
Also, make sure to follow the recommendations in Optimize Your System
Performance for Downloads and Staging (on page 41) to improve the speed and
performance of the initial staging process.

Important:
If you are upgrading your DNCS at the same time as adding SSC DHCTs to your
system, you must make sure that you upgrade your DNCS before you load the
tar file for the SSC DHCTs. Refer to Explorer Digital Home Communications
Terminal Staging Guide (part number 734375) for more information on tar files.
Before staging SSC DHCTs, you must make sure that you do not enable Digital
Interactive Services (DIS) or any other options on the Secure Services tab in the
Set Up DHCT screen. If you do enable these options, you will provision the
DHCTs when you batch load the EMMs, which prevents combo binding from
working correctly and might prevent the DHCTs from properly staging. See
Batch Loading EMM Files and Disabling DIS (on page 11) for more information.
Service providers should make every effort to ensure that the SSC combination
(of the DHCT and the CableCARD module or M-Card module) remains together.
If this combination is separated, the convenience of having the combination is
lost, and you must either implement manual processes to redeploy either unit or
return the DHCT to us for repair.
