CHAPTER 10 SET UP CAS SERVER
When a CAS server is used to host Verimatrix, Lynk, or Simulcrypt, perform the following steps. Otherwise,
proceed with Chapter 11 MAP SERVICES.
1. On the System page, click Admin (See Figure 18.).
Figure 18. CAS Server Configuration
2. Under CAS Server, enter the IP Address and Port for the server hosting Verimatrix or Lynk,
or Simulcrypt.
3. Enter the Access Criteria—it must be in the form of a 32-bit hexadecimal number (e.g., 0x00000400).
Verimatrix encryption typically requires 0x3 to be entered while Lynk encryption typically requires 0x0.
4. Select the desired encryption, either EBC or CBC. Verimatrix encryption typically requires EBC to be
entered while Lynk encryption typically requires CBC.
5. Specify the Crypto Period in seconds. This is the time between codeword changes.
6. Click Apply to save changes, then, under Actions, click Reboot the System to make the changes
eective.
NOTE: If SMARTBOX is unable to access the Verimatrix or Lynk server, it continues to use the current codeword
until the server can be accessed again or a timeout period occurs. The timeout is 48 hours. This means that if the
server cannot be accessed for 48 hours, the services being output with Verimatrix or Lynk encryption will no longer
be output.
