Advanced Settings

for VBricks and STBs as necessary. As noted, it is unlikely

you will ever need to change these settings. In all cases you can safely ignore these
settings and use the defaults provided by the Portal Server.
These settings generally set configuration options for source devices and destination
devices (VBricks and STBs) so that they are configured properly (e.g. transmit/receive
enabled/disabled) at the beginning and end of a priority alert. All required devices must
be present and enabled for a successful priority alert. The settings differ depending on
the device (e.g. MPEG-1, MPEG-2 or MPEG-4) you select and may include some or all
of the fields explained below.

Note

Advanced Settings

are available to configure VBricks and STBs with exceptional

configuration parameters. It is unlikely you will ever need to change these settings. In
all cases you can safely ignore the

Advanced Settings
