Chapter 2
Video Pre-Provisioning (Warehousing)
Note: Local practices may override these general pre-provisioning procedures.
This chapter describes the network architecture and process flows necessary to pre-provision the
Media Gateway and Media Player for future deployment. This process is also known as warehousing.
Pre-provisioning may be used to:
Clear the hard drive and flash memory of returned devices to ensure that recorded content and
customer-specific settings have been deleted.
Fully test the hardware of new returned units (video, audio, tuning encrypted and non-encrypted
channels, etc.).
Load the most recent version of firmware.
Pre-provisioning helps to avoid potential hardware or firmware issues that could lengthen installation
time or require a second truck roll to correct problems.
