Gathering Information for Your OSM Configuration File
Gather the following information for each data QAM in your system. Record this
information in the worksheet on the following page.
•
•
Output TSID. To find the numeric output transport stream ID for the QAM, open
the Set Up QAM window by clicking QAM from the Element Provisioning tab.
•
Headend ID. Write down the exact headend ID for the “real” headend QAM that
is included in your system. This Headend ID will be repeated in each of the three
record types you enter in the osmAutoMux.cfg file (QAM, HUB, and SESS
records).

Notes:
−
If arbitrary QAMs are set up in your system, choose arbitrary numbers to make
tracking the configuration easier. This number does not have to match the actual
headend ID. Each QAM must have its own unique number.
−
If real QAMs are set up in your system, you must enter the actual headend ID
for the headend device.
•
Session MAC Address. Write down the 12-character HEX MAC address without
the colons (:). The session MAC Address is determined by the value that was used
when sessions were built.
•
Session ID. Session IDs range from 2 to 22. For the OSM session, the session ID for
the primary OSM session is 199. The session ID for the secondary OSM session is
299.
•
Hub ID. To find the numeric Hub ID, go to the Hub Summary window by clicking
Hub under the Element Provisioning tab.
