Integrator's Manual

Chassis_ID – This field represents which COM200 chassis the card resides in when there are

multiple chassis in the system.

Slot_ID – This field identifies the card‟s location within a chassis, numbered 1 through 12.

Tuner – This field identifies the tuner‟s location on the COM24 card (0 or 1).

Card_IP – This field shows the IP address of the COM24 card you are currently interacting

with.

Receiver_ID – This field reports the DIRECTV Receiver ID, or RID. This value is the first of

two parameters required to obtain authorization on the DIRECTV network.

CAM_ID – This field reports the DIRECTV CAM ID. This value is the second of the two

parameters required to obtain authorization on the DIRECTV network.

Network_ID – This field reports the DIRECTV network that the tuner is currently tuned to. The

value recorded here corresponds to the satellite being used to transmit the channel as is

determined by the most recent DIRECTV broadcast settings.

Frequency_Index – This field reports the frequency index corresponding to the channel the

tuner is currently set to.

Authorized – This field provides feedback on whether the card has been authorized within the

DIRECTV network. The card needs to be paired and authorized in order to receive DIRECTV

programming. A value of „1‟ means that the card has been successfully authorized; „0‟ means

that it has not yet been authorized, or has lost its authorization.

Paired – This field provides feedback on whether the smart card has been successfully paired

with the COM24 card. The card needs to be paired and authorized in order to receive DIRECTV

programming. A value of „1‟ means that the card has been successfully paired; „0‟ means that it

has not yet been paired, or has lost its pairing.

Blackout – This field can be used to determine whether DIRECTV has issued a blackout of the

content on a particular channel. This is a good thing to investigate if the video suddenly stops

playing on any channel, but it is particularly likely to happen with nationally televised sporting

events. A value of „0‟ means that the channel should be functioning properly; „1‟ means that the

programming on the selected channel is not currently available to you. TVs will display a

blackout message on screen in the event of a blackout.

SW_Version – This field reports the software version that currently resides in the COM24 card.

All cards that have a similar web interface to the one described in this document will have a

version number of at least ST01.00.25.
