Advanced DOCSIS Set-top Gateway. Operates with the DCD message. Address 
assignment is dynamic. The DSG tunnel address is determined by the DSG agent and 
learned by the DSG client through the DSG address table in the DCD message. 

 

Application Protocol Data Unit. A common structure to send application data 
between the M-Card module and the host.  

 

A factory program installed into the DHCTs to ensure reliable upgrades. 

 

A device that plugs into a digital cable-ready TV or DHCT and allows the receipt of 
encrypted services. 

 

CPE Controlled Cable Modem. 

 

Copy Control Information defines a program's level of copy protection. There are 
currently three copy protection levels defined: copy freely, copy once, and copy never 
(copy once and copy never are known as high-value copy protection). The CCI is set for 
the program by the program originator.  

The DNCS/ISDS sends the CCI information to the DHCT or CableCARD module in 
an Entitlement Control Message (ECM) that lets the DHCT or CableCARD module 
know whether the program is high-value or not.
