CDSM or VVIM Setup

The CDSM or VVIM Setup page is used to initially configure the CDS. After you have set the CDSM

or VVIM Setup fields for your system, click Submit. Configuration and start up messages are displayed

in the left panel.

Deployed CServer Version

This field is always set to 2.X.

Stream Failover Support

Stream failover support is available for both the ISA and RTSP environments. If a Streamer fails, another

Streamer in the same Stream Group takes over any active stream sessions without loss of state and

backoffice independence.

Stream Steering Mode

Stream steering determines which Streamers serve streams to a QAM device. There are two types of

stream steering:

• Single site (Silo site steering)

• Multi-site

Single-site steering uses only one Stream Group to serve streams to all QAM devices. Multi-site steering

can use more than one Stream Group to serve streams to the QAM devices. The QAM Gateway page

reflects whether single-site or multi-site steering is enabled, by the number of preference levels

available. Multi-site steering offers four preference levels (high, medium, low, and none). Single-site

steering offers two preference levels (high and none).

Note Multi-site steering is available only for an ISA environment with ASI streaming. See the “Configuring

the Streamer for BMS Connectivity” section on page 4-45 for information about configuring the ASI

streaming mode.

Deployment Network Config

Specify whether your CDS network topology is a Layer 2 or Layer 3 network.

Installation Type

The only options are ISA 2.X and RTSP 2.X.
