Important: When adding the stand-alone service, you must use _SCIW for the
short description. Otherwise, the stand-alone feature will not function properly.
(SCIW is an abbreviation for Stand-Alone Cabin-In-the-Woods.)
Adding a Package to Control Subscriber Access to the Stand-Alone Mode
This section describes how to add a Stand Alone package to the DNCS.
When offering the stand-alone feature to subscribers, service providers may bundle
the feature with another package-controlled feature, such as DVR service. If this is
the case, you do not need to add a package for stand-alone authorization to the
DNCS because the DVR package can be used to control subscriber access to both
DVR service and the stand-alone feature. As a result, you do not need to complete
this procedure.
However, if the cable service provider offers the stand-alone feature to subscribers
separately from other services, follow this procedure to add a stand-alone package to
the DNCS.
Important: If you are authorizing a DVR for stand-alone mode, make certain that
you know the package name that your billing system will use to authorize this
feature. If you do not know the name, contact your billing system operator to obtain
the correct package name.
