6.13 Using the COM24 401 Command

The 401 tab can send control messages to DCI401MCS Digital Security Terminator devices

(DSTs). The DCI401 can receive Pro:Idiom encrypted QAM channels and output HDMI video

to a TV. Each message can be sent to either a single DCI401 based on its unique Receive ID

(RID) or to all DCI401s by setting the Receiver_ID to 0xffffffff.

The Messages are:

0 = Download new DCI401MCS software

3 = Feature enable/disable

4 = Reset DTA user settings (ratings locks, …)

5 = Tune to a specified Major_Number – Minor_Number channel

6 = Scan for new channels

7 = Display text for a few seconds on the TV

9 = Set which channel is the EPG channel

10 = Set site specific error messages indicating who to call for support

11 = Send logo file for use in the user interface

The DCI401MCS will only decrypt Pro:Idiom channels if the channel was Pro:Idiom encrypted

by a COM24.
