BMS Communication
This appendix describes the required Business Management System (BMS) configuration settings necessary for communicating with the VDS.
OpenStream/ISA
This section is not meant to replace the OpenStream installation manual. Instead, it is more of a a “cheat sheet” offering a list of values that must be the same on both the OpenStream BMS and the VDS to ensure communication between them. For more information, see the Open Stream Installation Manual.
The VDS communicates with the OpenStream BMS through the OpenStream CORBA Naming and Notification Services. Table C-1 describes the IP addresses of the OpenStream CORBA Naming and Notification Services that must be configured on the VDS.
Table C-1 OpenStream IP Addresses
Content Delivery System Parameter
|
|
Name Service IP |
The IP address of the CORBA Naming Service used by the OpenStream BMS. Typically, this service resides on the same server as the OpenStream BMS. |
Notify Service IP |
The IP address of the CORBA Notification Service used by the OpenStream BMS. Typically, this service resides on the same server as the OpenStream BMS. |
In addition to the IP addresses of the Naming and Notification Services, the parameters described in Table C-2 must have the same values on both the OpenStream BMS and the VDS.

Content Store Factory ID |
ArroyoContentStoreFactory_XXXX Where XXXX is a unique number within the Content Delivery System. The Kind type of Factory is appended to the ID before registering with the CORBA Naming Service. |
ContentStore: $$$.Factory, where $$$ is a value given by the Cisco installation engineer |
Content Store Name |
ArroyoContentStore_XXXX Where XXXX is a unique number within the Content Delivery System. The Kind type of Factory is appended to the ID before registering with the CORBA Naming Service. |
StreamService: $$$.Factory, where $$$ is a value given by the Cisco installation engineer |
StreamSvc Master ID |
ArroyoStreamService_XXXX Where XXXX is a unique number within the Content Delivery System. The Kind type of Factory is appended to the ID before registering with the CORBA Naming Service. |
StreamingMode |
Streaming Mode |
The default is 1, representing that the streaming mode of the next device is gigabit Ethernet. |
Lastly, there are four other parameters that need to be considered when configuring the OpenStream BMS and the VDS. They are:
- Headend ID
- LSC Response Padding
- Sessions Poll Time
- Stream Timeout Time
These four parameters in the VDS with their default values work properly with the OpenStream BMS.
