User Manual
Operation and Management
Automatic Cam Reset mechanism handles scenarios where the CAM ceases to
function correctly, resulting in no decryption of services and therefore video stop
or freezing. Although frozen, the video output remains a valid signal.
The IRD-2900 heuristically detects the CAM error and reset the CAM module.
CAM ERROR DETECTION:
The IRD-2900 detects CAM errors by performing a video lock test that
recognizes faulty video output signals which last longer then the configurable
threshold time.
CAM RESET:
When an error is detected, the IRD automatically resets the CAM. Reset time
may take 10 to 20 seconds.
CONFIGURING CAM TIMEOUT:
The CAM Timeout can be configured through CLI.
To configure the CAM Timeout through the CLI:
1. Go to config/video/general/
2. Set decoding timeout by using the following command:
< timeout (seconds), or 0 = disable>
The default CAM Timeout is 10 seconds.
To disable the Automatic CAM reset mechanism set the timeout value to 0.
NOTE
Scopus recommends setting the CAM Timeout value to five seconds or higher.
