Operators whose plans are atypical should consider the results that are described in
Table 46 and Table 47. For any SM whose Authentication Mode parameter is set to
Authentication Required, the listed settings are derived as shown in Table 46.

NOTES:
HPC represents the Hi Priority Channel (enable or disable).
Where
BAM, then SM is the indication, parameters for which BAM does not send values
are obtained from the SM. This is the case where the BAM server is operating on a BAM
release that did not support the feature. This is also the case where the feature enable/disable
flag in BAM is set to disabled. The values are those previously set or, if none ever were, then
the default values.
Where
BAM is the indication, values in the SM are disregarded.
Where
SM is the indication, values that BAM sends for the SM are disregarded.
The high-priority channel is unavailable to Series P7 and P8 SMs that run Cyclone Release 8.
For any SM whose Authentication Mode parameter is not set to Authentication
Required, the listed settings are derived as shown in Table 47.
