monitoring application Web pages, but will not contribute to overall alarms.

default) is a configurable attribute of the DVR device specified in the manual path
for this service (see “Devices Worksheet” on page 64).

ID of the cycling path associated with a service. This ID determines which cycling
set-top box (or DVR) and which Densité probe (or pair of probes) process signals

set-top box or DVR, and which Allégro (if any) process signals for this service.

Channel Selector buttons can fit approximately 8 characters. Longer names may appear
truncated.
