COM51 on the property. Please work with your distributor in order to register your COM51 to the AT&T AEP cloud prior to UCW4026MCS installation. Upon installation on a COM System with a properly registered and configured COM51, the UCW4026MCS will automatically connect to the AEP cloud via its network connection and will be automatically associated with the property.
1.2 Configuring the QAM for the UCW4026MCS The UCW4026MCS utilizes RF channel 23 to receive configuration data, guide data and to receive software updates when available. RF channel 23 must always be the first RF channel in the lineup corresponding to QAM index 1, as shown below in Figure 1 - QAM20 output.
1.3 Set Pro:Idiom Mobile Site Key The UCW4026MCS uses Pro:Idiom Mobile (PIM) encryption. Each site will require a unique PIM key be entered in all COM 46/51 cards. The key must consist of 64 hexadecimal characters: Numbers 0-9 and/or Letters a-f...
1.4 GUIDE.XML The UCW4026MCS will require a GUIDE.XML and a CONFIG.XML file from a COM51 in order to properly operate in any capacity in either a QAM or IP installation. Both the GUIDE.XML and the CONFIG.XML should be generated using the same COM51 card in the system.
1.5 Set up CONFIG.XML The CONFIG.XML file is used to send global information to a wide set of devices that are connected to the COM51. This includes network configuration data, device settings and software updates. The CONFIG.XML file also transmits the PIM key from the COM51 to the devices so that each device can playback video content.
The COM51 can send a Wi-Fi config file with SSID and Password information. The SSID must be visible in the Wi-Fi network. If there are multiple SSIDs for use by UCW4026MCS devices at the property, each UCW4026MCS will need to be manually programmed for network connection using the set top user interface.
Step One: Upload Software UCW4026MCS software is in a compressed .zip file. The filename must not be changed. Using the Browser Upload function available in the PairingInfo page, upload the file to the COM51 card generating the GUIDE.XML and CONFIG.XML files as shown below in Figure 7 - Software Upload.
Click Step Three: Send a COMMAND.XML While information that a software update is available for the UCW4026MCS is sent via the CONFIG.XML, the devices do not constantly check the CONFIG.XML. In order to “refresh” the CONFIG.XML, you can send a COMMAND.XML file.
CONFIG.XML. 2.4 Software Update via USB Flash Drive To update the UCW4026MCS via a USB flash stick, copy the software image to the USB flash stick. Insert the USB flash stick into the UCW4026MCS. Remove power from the UCW4026MCS, then using a paper clip, press and hold the reset button as shown below in Figure 8 - Reset Button, while re-apply power.

A menu will then appear that will permit you to upgrade the software and select a file from the USB stick. Choose “Apply update from USB” as shown below in Figure 9 - Android Recover Screen and then select the filename. Figure 9 - Android Recover Screen After updating the code, it is also advisable to select “Wipe data/factory reset”.
3 Admin Settings To access the UCW4026MCS Admin Settings, use the remote control to press and hold the Reverse (<<) and GUIDE buttons simultaneously for 4 seconds (Figure 10 - Remote Control) to display the pin entry screen (Figure 11 – Admin Settings Pin Entry): Hold Reverse+GUIDE for 4 seconds to access Admin Settings.
