3.11.6.7.3 NDS Pairing Key
This menu displays the NDS Pairing Key for the unit. Note that this Pairing Key is
actually assigned to the NDS card within the unit. If the card is changed then the

This Pairing Key is used at the head end to uniquely identify the unit and to target
entitlements to it. As such when an upgrade to the units entitlements is requested
this number must be quoted.
