How Is Stand-Alone Mode Disabled?
As described in the following section, the presence of SI on the FDC tells a DVR that
has been authorized for stand-alone mode to disable stand-alone mode.
When the set-top reboots, the client begins a timer to determine if the set-top is
connected to the DBDS network. If the client finds SI data within the timer period, it
checks the network settings for a stand-alone authorization. If the network setting
does not match the setting stored in client's NVM, the client synchronizes the NVM
stand-alone flag to match the stand-alone authorization as indicated by the network,
and then disables the stand-alone mode.
How Do I Authorize a DVR for Stand-Alone Mode?
This section summarizes the process required to authorize a set-top for stand-alone
mode. For detailed instructions, start with Adding a Package to Control Subscriber
Access to the Stand-Alone Mode (on page 31).
1 If the service provider offers the stand-alone feature to subscribers separately
from other services, add a package for stand-alone authorization to the DNCS.
Go to Adding a Package to Control Subscriber Access to the Stand-Alone Mode
(on page 31).
Important:

When adding the package, make certain that the package name exactly
matches the package name that the billing system uses. Otherwise, the stand-
alone feature will not function properly.

When offering the stand-alone feature to subscribers, cable service providers
may bundle the feature with another package-controlled feature, such as
DVR service. If this is the case, you do not need to add a package for stand-
alone authorization to the DNCS and can use the DVR package.
2 Add a stand-alone service to the SAM. Go to Adding the Stand-Alone Service to
the SAM (on page 32).

When the set-top has been relocated to its
original location, the subscriber makes the
proper connections to connect the set-top to
home entertainment devices. As part of this
process, the following connections are
made:
The RF cable is reconnected to the

CABLE IN port on the back of the DVR
so that the DVR can communicate with
the DBDS network.
The power cord is connected to an AC

power source, which causes the DVR to
reboot.
