Note

Prefix
- FX: "FiXed; indicates that the message cannot be removed by the subscriber.
- RM: "ReMovable"; indicates that the subscriber can remove the message from the screen using the remote control.
Suffix
- NEXTSTB: Indicates that the message appears with the next message shown on the screen.
- NEXTCA: Indicates that the message appears with the next message triggered by the conditional access subsystem.
- STILLCA: Indicates that the message appears with the next message triggered by the conditional access subsystem for the same duration.
- IMMED: Indicates that the message appears immediately without any further conditions.

Display Duration: The duration for which the OSM remains visible, specified in seconds with valid values from 0 to 65535. The default value is 0, in which case the OSM remains

displayed until removed by the user.

xOrigin: The origin of the x-axis values of the OSM which can be left (ORIGL) or right (ORIGR)

xPosition: The screen x coordinate of the message relative to xOrigin, with valid values from 0 (default) to 4095.

xAnchor: The horizontal anchor point of the OSM. The supported values are center (CENTER) or left to right (AUTOLR).

yOrigin:The origin of the y-axis values of the OSM which can be top (ORIGTOP) or bottom(ORIGDWN).

yPosition: The screen y coordinate of the message relative to the value in yOrigin, with valid values from 0 (default) to 1023.

yAnchor : The vertical anchor point of the OSM. which can be center (CENTER) or automatic top to down (AUTOTD )

textAlign: The OSM text alignment which can be 'LEFT,' 'RIGHT', 'CENTER', or 'JUST'

Devices Settings

Defines settings which control the provisioning rules that will be applied to DVB devices

Enable STB - Smartcard Pairing: Defines whether STBs of Type STB (DVB) STB and Smartcards of Type STB (DVB) SC should be paired. Note that pairing is not applicable for any other Type of devices. Pairing is 'enabled' by default.

Note
If pairing is 'enabled' then, the system will allow adding only one set of STB - Smartcard on each provisioning distributor.

Services

A list of services which can be provisioned through VCAS OMI DVB Provider. At least one Service mapping is needed if the Provider is 'Effective'.

Service

SMS Package ID: The SMS Package ID as specified on VCAS OMI DVB. If the VCAS OMI connection settings are configured, a link becomes available that can be used to search for already existing packages that might exist on the VCAS OMI platform.

Note
The search link should also be available in Usage Service Catalogs, if the catalogue is provisioned by VCAS OMI DVB Provisioning Provider and the VCAS OMI connection settings are configured.

Physical Goods

Device Mapping

A list of physical goods which can be provisioned through VCAS OMI DVB Provider. A list of traceable physical good types which will be used as devices. At least one device mapping is needed if the Provider is 'Effective'. Devices should be mapped in one of the categories available in the sub-sections.

Note
The Network Device ID is used as the OMI Device Identifier, which is represented by the Installed Item alternative code. It is the 10-digit Smartcard or non-Smartcard serial number

STB DVB SC

DVB Smartcard device. Used for receiving content in Smartcard based DVB set-top-boxes.

STB DVB STB

DVB set-top-box device with integrated conditional access and Smartcard slot. Used only for pairing with Smartcard devices (STB_DVB_SC) and cannot be entitled to any content. This type of set-top box always requires a Smartcard to perform content decryption; it cannot be entitled to content directly as content is entitled to Smartcard (STB_DVB_SC) devices.
The only reason to add this type of device to the OMI is for pairing purposes. If the pairing of devices is not required, this type of device should not be added to the OMI.

STB DVB NSC1

DVB device is receiving content through a DVB satellite, cable, or terrestrial interface using one-way conditional access with Smartcard-less software security version 0 or 1.

STB DVB NSC2

DVB device is receiving content through a DVB satellite, cable, or terrestrial interface using one-way conditional access with Smartcard-less software security version 2.

Provisioning Distributors

Distributors are used to relate services and devices (installed items) of a subscription to the provisioning provider. Multiple distributors on a subscription represent multiple viewing points with same or different services available from each device. For example, in a pay-tv subscription, two distributors can represent

the decoder and channels available in a household's living room
the decoder and channels available in the bedroom

Create the distributors which can be provisioned through the provider. At least one provisioning distributor is required for a provider to be 'Effective'.

ADD a new distributor and provide the related information in the modal

Main Information

Name & Alternative Code for the provisioning distributor.

Allowed Services

Defines a list of services which can be distributed by the distributor. This is used as a filter once the distributor is selected when adding subscription services to a subscription.

Two options are supported:

All Provisioned Services: If this option is selected, then all the services provisioned by the provider can be distributed by the distributor.
Specific Provisioned Services: If this option is selected, then only the services included in the list will be allowed to be distributed by the distributor.

Note
The services that can be added are filtered and validated against the services that can be provisioned by the related provisioning, defined in the Services section.

Restrictions

Minimum and Maximum optional and mandatory service restrictions control the number of services that can be added to the distributor.

Restrictions Per Service Type: Define minimum and maximum number of services allowed to be added to the distributor, from specific service types

Restrictions Per Physical Good Type: Define minimum and maximum number of installed items allowed to be added to the distributor, from specific physical good types

Dependencies

Service dependencies define services, service types, physical goods or physical good types that must be added to the distributor, if enabled.
