Files
The QAM Gateway Bulk Configuration files differ depending on the type of streaming mode and the
type of QAM. The required elements correspond to the fields on the associated CDSM GUI page.
Note Before you can use the Bulk Configuration feature to configure QAM gateways and the headend setup,
all Streamers must be associated with a Stream Group and the Streaming Mode must be configured. For
more information on Stream Groups, see the “Configuring Stream Groups” section on page 4-58 or the
“Grouping Stream Groups into VHOs” section on page 4-54 for VVIs. For more information on the
Streaming Mode, see the “Configuring the Streamer for BMS Connectivity” section on page 4-45 or the
“Configuring VHO ISA Settings” section on page 4-55 for VVI.
QAM Gateway and Headend Setup Bulk Configuration for Gigabit Ethernet
Streaming
If the streaming mode is set to gigabit Ethernet, the QAM Gateway page is used to identify the QAM
device (IP address), and to configure the preference settings for the Stream Groups. For Layer 2
networks, there is an option to specify the MAC address of the next hop for each Stream Group and
Streamer.
