NSG 9000-6G - Harmonic Inc

Chapter 5 Conditional Access System (CAS)
Defining DVB Scrambling Parameters
Priority - to allow redundancy, set priority by indicating the primary and secondary ECMG
of the same SuperCasID. In case of ECMGs with the same SuperCasID, NSG 9000
always tries to connect first to the ECMG with the highest priority. Assign priority from 1-
10 with 1 as the highest priority.
SuperCasID (Hex) - A 32-bit hexadecimal number that consists of the 16-bit CA vendor
ID and an additional 16-bit number that distinguishes one ECM generator from another
for the same CAS vendor. The super CAS ID determines which access criteria is coupled
with each ECMG. The CAS vendor provides this value.
Protocol Revision - Specifies the CAS mode of operation. Select Revision 1, 2 or 3.
IP Address - The IP address of the ECMG. The CAS vendor provides this value.
Port - The number (in decimal format) of the TCP port used to connect the ECMG. The
CAS vendor provides this value.
Channel ID - indicates the channel of communication between the NSG and the ECMG.
Status - Indicates the state of the connection:
Connected - The ECMG and NSG are communicating.
Disconnected - No communication is taking place at the moment.
5.3.5 Viewing CAS Status
5.3.5.1 Viewing the SCG Parameters
1. Select Applications > CAS > SCGs tab. The SCG page appears.
The following information is listed:
Number of SCGs - indicates the number of listed SCGs.
SCG ID - The ID number of the SCG.
CP Number - A running counter of the number of Crypto Periods. It indicates the number
of times the ECM has been changed for this stream.
TS ID/QAM Index- The stream that carries the service to be encrypted as sent by the EIS.
Service ID - The ID of the program/service being scrambled using the specific SCG.
State - Indicates the status of the service as follows:
Scrambling - Indicates that the service is encrypted.
Clear - Indicates that scrambling failed.
Access Criteria - the access criteria as provided by the vendor.
2. Click Refresh to update the information in the SCG table.
5.3.5.2 Viewing ECM Parameters
The Entitlement Control Message (ECM) page provides information about the ECM stream
that is sent to the NSG and is added to the TS.
