Approved device limits

Overview

OpenTV Video Platform allows you to define:

• A limit on the number of approved devices per account
  (A device that is registered to an account can either be approved or not approved.)
• A limit on how often a change can be made to an account's approved devices list (that is, to add or remove a device from the list).

These limits are defined in an account profile, which means you can have different limits for different groups of users.

Approved device limits only apply to open devices, not managed devices.

OpCon enables you to:

• Define limits in your account profiles in OpCon – see Account profiles.
• Apply account profiles to accounts – see Accounts.
• Set device limits and view and amend the approved devices for an account – see Devices.

Approved device limits are disabled by default. To enable them, contact your NAGRA representative.

Use cases

This section explains how an operator system (for example, a CRM) can:

• Find how many approved devices an account has and the next time a device can be approved.
• Add a device to or remove a device from an account's approved devices list.

Scenarios

There are other devices statuses that, combined with a device's approval status, determine what the device can and cannot do. These are summarised in the following table:
