Staging DHCTs For Instastaging
The instastaging process supports the following two configurations:
Subscriber Chooses Services—the subscriber chooses a group of services before
installing the DHCT.
Using Default Packages—the provider assigns a default group of services and
adjusts the DHCT to receive subscriber-requested services at a later time.
If you prefer, you can use both methods. Each DHCT stages correctly according to
the administrative status it receives (either In-Service Two-Way or Out-Of-Service).
Instastaging DHCTs
Follow these steps to instastage new or RMA DHCTs.
1
Unpack the DHCTs you want to stage.
2
Place the DHCTs on the staging rack.
3
Connect the DHCTs to the RF signal in the staging area.
4
Connect the DHCTs to AC power. The DHCT downloads the OS and ResApp
software from the DNCS.
5
Wait for the DHCTs to indicate that the download is complete (DHCT ready or
Brick mode).
6
Disconnect the DHCTs from AC power and from the RF signal.
7
Scan each DHCT into the billing system. Refer to your billing system
documentation for instructions and specific information.
8
Place the DHCTs Out of Service.
9
Return the DHCTs to a secure storage area or give them to subscribers for
installation.
Note: These DHCTs must be carefully protected from theft, because they become
functional as soon as they are installed on a two-way capable cable connection.
