Authorized
This field provides feedback on whether the card has been authorized within the DIRECTV network.
The card needs to be paired and authorized to receive DIRECTV
programming. A value of ‘1’ means
that the card has been successfully authorized; ‘0’ means that it has not yet been authorized or has
lost its authorization.
Paired
This field provides feedback on whether the smart card has been successfully paired with the
COM51 card. The card needs to be paired and authorized to receive DIRECTV programming. A value
of ‘1’ means that the card has been successfully paired; ‘0’ means t
hat it has not yet been paired or
has lost its pairing.
Blackout
This field can be used to determine whether DIRECTV has issued a blackout of the content on a
channel. This is a good thing to investigate if the video suddenly stops playing on any channel, but
it is particularly likely to happen with nationally televised sporting events.
A value of ‘0’ means that
the channel should be functioning properly; ‘1’ means that the programming on the selected
channel is not currently available to you. TVs will display a blackout message on screen in the event
of a blackout.
SW_Version
This field reports the software version that currently resides on the COM51 card.
LED Control Feature
This feature gives you the ability to assume control of the PWR LED temporarily. This can help you
easily identify a specific card within a chassis if there is ever any doubt about which card you are
accessing. The allowed values are:
0 = Off
1 = On
2 = Flashing
CAM Log
This section gives you the ability to read the log files generated by any COM51
card’s Conditional
Access Module (CAM), also known as its smart card. The messages reported here match the ones
that may be seen on a normal set-top box and can be used to determine whether the card has
been properly authorized and paired.
