DCI401MCS

Command Set Primer

Introduction

This document outlines some basic command set features of the DCI401MCS which can be implemented from the COM1000 system. These features are intended to be used by system operators in order to achieve a centralized control and command of these boxes when deployed throughout a property. This document will explain a few of the more useful features. Not all features are explained here. Full documentation of all command features will be introduced in the next release of the COM1000 Integrator’s Manual.

The DCI401MCS was designed to be used specifically with the COM1000 head-end and all of these features have been thoroughly tested to work within this system, in particular, the

QAM24/QAM6 product. While some features may work using other head-end sources, if a

Technicolor QAM is not a part of the system, there is little chance that these features will work.

Because the COM1000/DCI401MCS system does not have a back channel, correct execution of a command by a DCI401MCS can only be verified by inspection of the 401.

401 Link

You may access the DCI401MCS control tab in the COM24 web page by clicking on “401”. If your COM24 web management page does not have a 401 link, please update your COM24 software to the latest available from Technicolor.

From this page, you may select 13 different commands from the MessageType: pulldown menu which can control the DCI401MCS in a variety of different ways. The Receiver_ID field is used to route command messages to the right DCI401MCS box or boxes

Receiver_ID:

For every option, you may choose to broadcast the control message to a specific receiver, or to the entire network of receivers. When you first access the control page, you will see the

Receiver_ID field set to 0xffffffff. This setting will broadcast the control message to every

DCI401MCS powered on in the network and tuned to a channel originating from the COM1000.

If you desire to send messages to a specific receiver, you may replace the 0xffffffff with the

10 digit Unit Identifier located on the bottom of the receiver or on the product packaging.

MessageType: 0 = Download

This feature is used to update the software of the DCI401MCS. Using a TFPT server such as

TFTPd32, put the file name of the new software in the Filename field, enter the correct

TFPT_IP: address for the TFTP server, then press SUBMIT. You should notice the software transfer on the TFTP server, then the broadcast of the software to the network. Connected

DCI401MCSs eligible for this software update should immediately begin the update process.

MessageType: 3 = Feature

This allows operators to turn on or off specific features of the DCI401MCS including the remote power button, function buttons and menu access. Nearly every menu item or feature in the DCI401MCS can be controlled, but for this document’s purpose, only a few key items will be provided. Specific features are controlled by a 32 bit field entered as an 8 digit hex number.

Select 3 = Feature,

Set your desired Receiver_ID,

In the Major_Number field, enter the desired code to turn on or off device features.

Hit Submit to broadcast this feature.

Example: Disable channel change

In this example, entering hex value 0x20000000 in the Major_Number field, will turn off the ability of each DCI401MCS to change from the channel the device is currently tuned to, essentially locking the DCI401MCS to a specific channel.

The below table lists some features commonly used in controlling a DCI401MCS

Reset device to original configuration – Remove any disabled features 0x00000000

Disable Power Key from the Remote

Disable the Menu Key from the Remote

Disable the Guide Key from the Remote

Disable the Close Caption Key from the Remote

0x01000000

0x02000000

0x04000000

0x08000000

Disable the Zoom Key from the Remote

Disable channel change from the Remote

0x10000000

0x20000000

If several of these features are desired, they can be combined such that one number can be entered to disable several features. For instance, if you’d like to turn off both the menu and power buttons from the remote, you can combine the numbers to be 0x03000000. Sending this feature command, both features will be disabled.

MessageType: 5 = Tune

You can force tune each of the DCI401MCS’s to a desired channel. Enter the Major_Number and Minor_Number for the desired channel, then press Submit. This will either change channels for a specific unit or the entire network of DCI401MCS’s.

MessageType: 6 = Scan

This will force one or more DCI401MCS’s to do a channel scan. No other fields are required to be filled in.

MessageType: 7 = Display

This feature allows for an Alert Message to be presented on the DCI401MCS as a pop-up message for users. Simply type the desired alert message into the Filename/Text: field, then press SUBMIT. An Alert Message will be viewable for 20 seconds or until the user selects

OK from their unit.

MessageType: 9 = Guide Channel

This feature allows you to select the guide channel which will be associated with the GUIDE button on the remote control. Simply enter the Major_Number and Minor_Number of the desired channel, then press SUBMIT.

MessageType: 10 = Text

When the DCI401MCS loses signal or is tuned to a channel without any video, the default message appears, “We’ve detected an interruption in your service. Please check the connections. We’re sorry for the inconvenience.” Using the Text option, you may insert your own service interruption message and add contact information such as a telephone number or email address. Type the desired display text in the Filename/Text: field, then press

SUBMIT.

MessageType: 11 = Graphics

Custom graphics can be inserted into the menu page of the DCI401MCS to be displayed in the lower left-hand corner of the menu. These graphics are sent to the DCI401MCS using the

TFTP server just as software updates are transferred. Enter the name of the graphics file in

Filename/Text: field, enter the correct TFTP server address, then press SUBMIT. The graphic must be a .bmp file with a resolution of 50 x 200 pixels.

MessageType: 12 = Channel_Map

Channels generated by the COM1000 are easily mapped on the DCI401MCS using the PSIP feature of the COM1000. Please read and understand this capability first, then if you are unable to utilize PSIP, or you have channels being generated outside the COM1000 system which require mapping, the DCI401MCS can enable this capability.

In the box below the input fields, you may type or paste in your desired channel map. In the example below, it is desired that channel 30-1 be mapped to be channel 12 and channel 30-2 be mapped to be channel 13. The channels are CNNHD and ESPNHD respectively.

Example: Creating a channel map

Pressing SUBMIT will remap the physical RF channels so that they appear as more desirable virtual channels 12 and 13.
