Operation Manual 12./07 WISI Communications GmbH & Co. KG
The Scrambling Control Group (SCG) lists consists of 6 columns.
•
SCG-ID
: This is the ID of the Scrambling Control Group. Its an unique number
identifying the SCG. You may manually define this value on the “Edit (new) SCG
Page”. If you don’t define the value, the scrambler chooses one automatically
.
•
Name
: The name of the SCG. This name is a string of characters and its use is to be a
mnemonic for the SCG contents. You select this name in the “Edit (new) SCG Page).
For example, if this SCG contains scrambled cartoon programs, you may call it
“Cartoon Package”. If you don’t define a name, the scrambler chooses one
automatically.
•
Active
: The “Active” column contains the codeword “idle” or “active” or a date/time
like “2007-01-01 15:00:00”. “Idle” indicates, that the SCG is not active = does not
actually scramble any content. “Active” or the date/time indicates, that the SCG is
currently active = does scramble content. The date/time in addition to “active”
indicates the activation time, when the scrambling started. You may click on the
“active” codeword (or the date/time) to open the “Edit (new) SCG page”. This lets you
verify the services currently being scrambled by this SCG (and also the other
scrambling parameters, for example access criteria).
•
Pending
: The “Pending” column contains the codeword “idle” or “active” or a
date/time. If “idle” there is no change in the SCG pending. If “active”, the scrambling
of the SCG will change as soon as possible (depending on the workload of the scrambler) the
“active” will be replaced by idle soon. If there is a date/time, the SCG
change will occur at the given time. You may click on the “active” codeword (or the
date/time) to open the “Edit (new) SCG page”. This lets you verify the services
currently being scrambled by this SCG (and also the other scrambling parameters like
access criteria). Every new or edited SCG appears as pending for some seconds, even
if it has no activation time.
