Advanced Operation and System

Configuration

Chapter 4

In this chapter, you will learn more about the OSD or front panel

operations for advanced features, such as updating the channel status,

setting up the security feature, etc.

If your MCCAT is a two-tier system, you must perform these operations on

the first-tier MCCAT switch. Make sure you have programmed all of the

second-tier MCCAT switches as the second-tier devices; otherwise, any

operation or setting you have done will apply to the first-tier MCCAT switch

only instead of the whole system. For information on how to programme

an MCCAT switch as a second-tier device, see STEP 1: Programme an

MCCAT Switch as a Second-Tier Device (on page 37).

Note: In a two-tier

system, SCAN, SKIP, and channel buttons of all

second-tier devices are automatically disabled. However, these buttons

work properly on the first-tier MCCAT switch.
