Chapter 2 Staging Preparations
Set Up the Staging Defaults
The next task that you must perform is to set up all of the staging options that will be
installed onto each DHCT. These options define the default operating parameters of
the DHCT and include such options as:
The RF output channel (3 or 4).
The screen language and color scheme for SARA screens.
The default Personal Identification Number (PIN) for Parental Control and PPV
purchases.
The audio compression range and digital audio output (Dolby™ Digital or two-
channel digital).
For more information and procedures to set up these staging defaults, refer to
Enhancing Your Subscribers' Experience: SARA Configurable Options (part number
4002178).
DVR, DVD, and Multi-Room Device Considerations
DHCTs with DVRs or DVDs require additional configuration steps before you can
begin staging them. If you do not follow these additional steps, subscribers will not
be able to access DVR, DVD, or multi-room functions.
For more information on these additional configuration steps, refer to DVR
Configuration Guide (part number 4011411).
