Figure 2.2
The following fields are required for Headend Setup.
Headend ID: A three digit identifier for the headend. This number is
identified in the schedule file name from your traffic and billing system and
will be a value from 001-999. To locate this value, you should refer to the
file name structure of your schedules using MDDCCHHH.SCH. The number
represented by HHH is your Headend ID.
Headend Description: Description of the headend. You are limited to 255
characters. For management purposes, a short and concise description will
serve best.
Phone Number: The phone number of the modem used by autoDialer at the
headend. Format (000-000-0000) or if dialing for an outside line with a prefix
(9,1-000-0000)
Headend IP Address: The WAN Internet Protocol Address of the gateway
router at the headend.
Headend User Name: The user name for FTP and Telnet access for the
headend. The default is “adtec”.
Headend Password: The password for FTP and Telnet access for the
headend. The default is the word “none”.
Auto Merge: Auto Merge is the process for automatic schedule merging and
verification unmerging. The default setting is No. If you wish to begin adding
a headend that is not fully functional and want to avoid alarm activity, we
suggest setting the Auto Merge to no until the headend is up and running.
File Name Length: The length of the ad copy file name. As part of the auto
merge feature, schedule files are parsed in three formats.
20/20: 6 characters, right-justified, leading zeros
Ex. 00000123456 = 123456
Novar: 8 characters, right-justified, leading zeros
Ex. Novar typically comes in as 11 characters which has leading zeros
(00012345678 = 12345678)
Non-zero: variable length (max = 8), left-justified, trailing spaces
Ex. “01234 “ = 01234
Full Name: The full 11 character file name specified in the CCMS
schedule is used. (DPI applications only.)
Once you have added a headend it is possible to edit or delete that
headend by browsing to Configuration > Headend and selecting either
Edit or Delete to proceed.
Note: If you delete a headend, all channels assigned to that headend
will be deleted as well.
With a headend in place, you may begin adding channels.
