Deleting an EAS Messaging Zone
The system queries for confirmation to delete a specified zone, as follows:
If no output transport streams are associated with the selected zone, you will be asked to confirm
•
in the Delete Messaging Zone dialog.
If output transport streams are currently associated with the selected zone, the system will remind
•
you in the Delete Messaging Zone dialog.

Menu Path
click on the EAS Messaging Zone you wish to delete.
1. At the Delete Messaging Zone dialog, either click Yes to delete the zone, or click No to abort this
action and dismiss the dialog.
2. Confirm that the zone is deleted: it should no longer be displayed at the Messaging Zones tab
screen.

Operator and Advanced Messaging Zones

For MPEG-2 programs only, the BNP Messaging System feature supports Operator and Advanced
Messaging Zones, which allows the cable operator to generate a text crawl of up to 400 characters in
length directly from the BNP Element Manager or to specify a text or graphic file as an overlay. Both
Operator and Advanced zones can be associated to individual programs.
This capability is only allowed using Administrator login privileges.
Note: An Advanced Overlay license must be purchased in order to view or configure an Advanced
Messaging Zone. For more information on Advanced Overlay licensing, see "Managing
Licenses" on page 190.
Note: SCTE 18 EAS messages take precedence over Operator and Advanced Alert Messages. The latter
can not be sent to a program that has an active SCTE 18 message alert. An SCTE 18 message
alert sent to a zone will immediately override any current GUI generated alert message playout.
Configuring an Operator Messaging Zone
Use the Add Operator and Advanced Messaging Zone screen
parameters for an operator messaging zone.
Note: You must be logged in as the Administrator to add, modify, or delete Messaging Zone
configuration.
Configuration -> Messaging System ->Messaging Zones ->Right-click anywhere on the white
Menu Path
or light blue rows for popup menu -> select Add Operator and Advanced Messaging Zone.
