DHCT Status Reporting Utility 

1-1 

The DHCT Status Reporting Utility is useful in helping system operators monitor 

two-way communications between DHCTs and the headend. DHCTs without two-

way communications are said to be non-responding. Subscribers with a non-

responding DHCT are unable to participate fully in the interactive features of the 

DHCT, while system operators are unable to maximize the revenue potential 

associated with a DHCT that can establish and maintain two-way communication. 
Section A of this chapter develops the definition of non-responding DHCTs, from 

the point of view of Cisco, as well as from the point of view of the system operator. 

Subsequent sections of this chapter describe the interface of the utility, provide 

instructions on how to use the utility to poll DHCTs, and explain how to run and 

interpret the various lists and reports generated by the utility.  

Some of the screens or illustrations included in this chapter may not match exactly 

what appears on the system you are operating. Software version numbers, build 

numbers, and displayed data may vary from site to site. 

This chapter contains the following topics.
