You can find the current operating software for the control unit and the cassette, the required update software "BE-Flash" and the current assembly instructions on the website "www.gss.de". The cassette is designed for use in the following head-end stations: STC 1200, STC 316, STR 19-8 and PST 19-1.
"NIT" contains data which is required by the set-top boxes for the automatic search feature. Some network operators transmit an operator ID in the transport stream (e.g. visAvision). By changing the CAT the operator ID can be adjusted to the de- mands. - 10 - HMPT 1000 T...

Programming Preparation • Test the software versions of the head-end station and the cassette and up date them if necessary. The current software versions can be found on the website "www.gss.de". • Connect the test receiver to the HF output or the test output of the head-end station. • Set the output channel / output frequency of the cassette (see page 26) and adjust the TV test receiver to this channel / frequency.
