Introduction
This section provides an overview of the SA CableCARD DSG Info diagnostic screen, including the fields
and parameters that are included in the screen. This screen provides information that identifies DOCSIS
Set-Top Gateway (DSG) network
information.
Important: Data is only available if the host is a two-way host with DSG capability via a DOCSIS modem.
If the host is a one-way host, N/A (not available) is displayed for all fields within the diagnostic
screen.
Performing Tasks
By accessing this screen, you can perform the following tasks:
Example:
Scientific Atlanta CableCARD(tm)
Network Interface - DSG
------------
Mode: N/A
SA DOOBIE MAC addr: N/A
DCD Scanning Status: N/A
Status: N/A
IP Address: N/A
Screen Fields and Values
Field Nam e Description
Mode For DHCTs using DSG,
indicates the type of
communication that the DHCT
operates in relation to the
headend
SA DOOBIE MAC addr The DOOBIE MAC address (w ell know n MAC
address for all MCARDs that identifies if a
DCD is valid)
DCD Scanning Status An indication of w hether the card received a
valid DCD from the host
Status The operating status of the DCD initialization
process
IP Address The IP address if the CableCARD has
acquired a new flow in DSG mode
This data was made available by Scientific Atlanta.
Plasma Training
CABLECARD M--CARD
Possible Values
• OOB—the CableCARD is operating in out-of-band mode
• Basic—the CableCARD is operating in Basic DSG mode
• One-w ay—the CableCARD is operating in Basic DSG,
onew ay
mode (only receives data dow nstream from the netw ork
to the DHCT w ith no return path [upstream] to the netw ork)
• Advanced--the CableCARD is operating in Advanced
DSG mode
• Advanced One-Way--the CableCARD is operating
Advanced DSG, one-w ay mode
• N/A—the operation of the CableCARD is unknow n to the
netw ork
• [MAC Address]—dependent on w ell know n MAC
address for MCARDs
Example: 00:01:A6:D0:0B:1E
• DCD Found
• Hunting for DCD
• N/A—status is unknow n
• Started—sw itching from DAVIC to DSG has started and
DSG initialization is not yet complete
• Initialization Err—DSG initialization error has
occurred; therefore, continuing in DAVIC mode
• Initialized—DSG initialization is complete and successful
• N/A—status is unknow n
• [Netw ork dependent]
• Acquiring—in the process of receiving the IP address
