CE565 & Program Manager

[m.donley]

With the release of ACNS & IPTV 5.1 the control server functionality has been moved to the CE platform and is now called Program Manager. When ordering a CE565 slated to be the Program Manager, how do I specify the software load? Is it different from a generic ACNS 5.1 load?

Thanks

While ordering a CE-565 to be used as a Program Manger for IP/TV, you just need to order it with ACNS 5.1 (or above) loaded. First time you boot the CE, it would come up as a content engine, but using the "device mode" command you can change its personality to be a Program Manager.

Please refer to http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/webscale/uce/acns51/cref51/4068ref.htm#2295894 for further details about this command. There is no special software load required for the program manager

There is no difference in the load. When you get the 565 there is a command 'device mode program-manager'.
