C.6 High-Level PGCA Overview
PGCA is managed at an individual IRD level and enabled at the system level. To configure the
SE4000 for PGCA operations, follow these steps:
1.
Manage the IRD List.
a.
Review the IRD conditional access list to ensure that all IRDs are listed and that
all IRD information is correctly.
b.
Add IRDs to the conditional access list, as needed.
A decoder’s MAC address is required in order to create an authorized decoder
database. This address must be entered in the following 16-character
hexadecimal format. The SE4000 automatically enters the decimal points:
XX.XX.XX.XX.XX.XX.XX.XX
If the decoder’s MAC address is unknown, navigate through the decoder’s front
panel menu to locate the information:
•
On the TDR600, TDR77, and TDR777 decoders, the MAC address is
displayed on the System>Status>ID:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx menu.
•
On the TDR7 and TD3 decoders, the MAC address is displayed on the
System>ID:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx menu.
•
On the TDR6 decoder, the MAC address is displayed on the
Control>Network>Addr:xxxxxxxxxxxx menu.
The MAC address on the TDR6 decoder is missing two bytes. To enter
this number into the MAC address field when creating the authorized
decoder database, simply add zeros to the most significant bits, for
example: 00.00.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx
c.
Delete IRDs from the conditional access list, if required
d.
Enable and disable individual IRDs, as appropriate.
2.
Enable PGCA at the System Level
e.
Enable PGCA. When PGCA is enabled, all current PGCA configuration settings
are immediately implemented. As the individual IRDs are enabled and disabled,
those configuration settings are immediately implemented as well. If new PGCA
configurations settings are not to be immediately implemented by the SE4000,
Scramble should be set to None. When ready to implement PGCA, set Scramble
to PGCA.
f.
Enter the PGCA Key.
g.
For front panel configurations, PGCA is now enabled and will continue to use the
current PGCA configuration until PGCA is disabled (tuned off) or the PGCA
confi guration is changed. As with all other front panel configuration changes,
PGCA changes are automatically saved and immediately implemented.
h.
For remote unit configuration, the new PGCA configuration must be saved.
During PGCA set-up and configuration, signals may be temporarily
unscrambled.
