If the scrambling is 
being controlled by 
nCompass Control, 
set the EIS port to 
9000. 
Check that this is also set to 9000 in 
ConfiguratorService.exe.config. This file is 
found in c:\Program Files\Tandberg 
Television\nCompass Control\Bin. 
Define the EIS Port 
If nCC is not 
controlling the 
scrambling, set the 
EIS port to the one 
specified by the EIS 
vendor.

Connection Timeout 
Set to 30s 
The connection timeout is the number of 
seconds the CA will wait between sending 
a channel test and receiving a response. 
Define the Nominal CP 
Duration 
The nominal CP duration is the cryptoperiod 
duration, measured in units of a tenth of a 
second, as defined in the DVB Simulcrypt 
specification. A value of 100ds gives a 
cryptoperiod of 10 seconds. 
Define the Connection 
Test Interval 
Set connection test 
interval to 30 
seconds 
This means that the MX8400 will send a 
connection test message every 30 seconds. 
Define the SCS Port 
If 1+1 redundant multiplexers are being 
used, the peer SCS IP address must be set 
to the IP address of the Floating CA Port in 
the redundant multiplexer 
Define the SCS IP 
The default value is 
2443 
The peer SCS port must be the same on 
both multiplexers 
  Set this flag to 0 if nCC is the EIS
