the RCS option, follow a different method to

After you add a BFS QAM modulator, verify that your Value Added Service Provider (VASP) entries are correct.
Or, if you are adding a third-party application that needs to negotiate resources with the DNCS, add a VASP entry
to the DNCS. Adding a VASP entry in this situation enables the DNCS to communicate with the device that
provides third-party application data.

VASP is a generic term for the device that provides a service or functionality to elements on a Digital Broadband
Delivery Service (DBDS). For example, if you are offering interactive services such as VOD, you must have one
VASP entry for each VOD server installed in your network. Without a VASP entry defined on the DNCS, the DNCS
would not be able to process signals to and from the VOD server.

A network may include multiple VASP entries, each providing a unique set of services. However, the following
VASP entries are required for any DNCS to successfully provide services to subscribers. These entries are
created automatically by the system when your DBDS was initially installed:
VASP entries are required for any DNCS to successfully provide services to subscribers. These entries are
created automatically by the system when your DBDS was initially installed:
Broadcast File System Used by the BFS when starting its sessions
CFSession UI Used by the user interface (UI) in the session setup request
GEARServer Used for EAS activity
HCTM Server Used for DHCT management
Message Server Used by the system when sending pass-thru messages (this VASP never starts
sessions)
MMM Server Used for EAS activity
OSM Server Used for DHCT operating system (OS) sessions
Occasionally, one or more of these entries may be missing or not in service. Therefore, it is a good idea to verify
your VASP configuration whenever you make changes to your network.

Important: Depending on the services your network offers, there may be more VASP entries listed in the DNCS.
However, the seven entries listed above must be present and in service for the DBDS to function properly. In
addition, if you are offering VOD, you must add one VASP entry for each VOD server installed in your network.
Without a VASP entry, a DNCS is unable to process signals to and from the VOD server.
