2. Specify the Application Server’s IP address (see “Configuring the Ethernet Interface” on page 29) and

host name (see “Specifying DNS Client Settings” on page 24).

3. In the DENSITE section, specify an ID.

CG100 PORT

IR output port number (1-6) on the GC-100 from which commands are sent to a
specific set-top box.

STB

Name of the configuration file associated with a specific set-top box (or DVR)
model (see “Creating Configuration files for the Global Caché GC-100 Network
Adapter” on page 55).
Note: Do not specify the .conf extension.

REMOTE CONTROL

Path to an iC Web page (MPF file) that represents the remote control used with
a specific set-top box (or DVR) model, relative to EDGE/Web_pages. A set of
default MPF files is provided matching the remotes commonly used with the
set-top models for which a predefined configuration file (for the GC-100) exists.
If left blank, a generic remote control image will be used.

RECORD DURATION

Maximum time during which the associated DVR will record a video stream after
an error is detected. Default value is 60 seconds.

REAL DEVICE ID

ID of the Densité probe associated with a specific virtual service.

CYCLER ID

ID of the cycler associated with a specific probe. Note: Specify the same cycler ID
for each pair of audio and video probes: a pair of probes that are meant to process
video and audio signals from the same channel must be associated with the
same cycler ID.

POLLING PERIOD

Total length, in milliseconds, of the period allowed for monitoring each channel
during a cycle, including the settling phase, and the listening phase. Default
value is 45000 ms, i.e. 45 seconds.

SETTLING TIME

Time allowed, in milliseconds, at the beginning of each polling period for
properly tuning a channel. Alarms are not actively monitored during this period.
Default value is 5000 ms, i.e. 5 seconds.

DURATION

Determines the amount of time, in milliseconds, required before an error
condition is considered as an alarm occurrence. Default value is 30000 ms, i.e.
30 seconds. Note: This value should be less than the length of the polling period
minus the settling time.

OCCURRENCES

Number of alarm occurrences required before an alarm is triggered (default
value is 1).
