CableCARD pairing & initialization

Private & Confidential for Suddenlink

Unlike legacy STBs, the MG1 is added to the controller 
as a ONEWAY M-CARD, requiring manual pairing.

In most cases, CableCARD pairing information will be added when
the devices are scanned into inventory, or added to the billing
system database via an electronic file. If not, pairing will be
accomplished by keying the CableCARD ID, HOST ID and DATA
values into billing system, or controller manually. Once complete, the
STB will need to be sent an INIT and a CCV to complete the setup
process.
