Setup Pairing screen is used for pairing Smart Cards with Decoders. In the system, if single STB exists for a customer, then the pairing can be done implicitly. But for more than one STB, the smart cards and decoders are paired explicitly.
Through this screen an existing pairing can also be modified or cancelled.
To pair smart cards with decoders:
On the Provisioning module, click Setup Pairing.
Retrieve details of the customer. The details like Customer Name, available smart card and decoder details appear in Pairing Details table.
To do a pairing, click the Add link in Pairing Details table.
Select the type of smart card from SmartCard Code drop down. All the available smart card numbers of the specific type appear in SmartCard No. drop down. Select the required number to be paired with decoder.
Select the type of decoder from Decoder Code drop down. All the available decoder numbers of the specific type appear in Decoder No. drop down. Select the required number to be paired with the selected smart card.
Click the Save button to pair the selected smart card with the decoder.
To cancel any existing pairing, select the check box against the pair and click the Update link. Finally click the Save button to remove the pairing details.
To modify an existing paring, click the Edit (pencil) symbol against a pairing. The paring details appear in edit mode. Modify the details and click the Save button to apply the modification.
