Introduction

This document describes the protocol which is used for the interface between a Subscriber
Management System (SMS) and the Verimatrix Broadcast Content Security Manager
(BCSM).

Overview
A SMS sends commands to the BCSM to generate entitlements for products which are stored
on a sector of a ViewRight STB for DVB. The responses to these messages (return messages)
are sent back from the BCSM to the SMS. Within these responses are an acknowledgement
for the received message and an error code.
If a command is not rejected (because of an error), the BCSM produces an Entitlement
Management Message (EMM). This message is sent to a sector of a ViewRight STB using the
MPEG protocol.
The ViewRight STB is a multi-sector STB. This means there are several sectors within which
are cryptographical separated. One sector is under control of one BCSM. Therefore each
message triggered by a SMS and generated by a BCSM is directed to one sector.
In case of the BCSM is a standalone system, there is a direct connection between one or
more SMS and the BCSM shown in the Figure below.

Figure 1-1. Connection SMS-VCAS

Subscriber Management System Interface (SMSI) Description 1-1

ENG-59 / Revision 1
 The connection between SMS and BCSM should be protected against manipulation. Therefore
crypto router are installed between SMS and BCSM in case the two systems are not within
the same location. For the SMS and the BCSM this security layer is transparent.
For redundancy reasons there could be a second BCSM (1:1 redundancy).
In this case all SMS commands have to be distributed to both BCSM. In addition it is
important to ensure that the order of the commands is kept for both BCSM. Otherwise it is
possible the two BCSM have different data within their databases. In this situation the 1:1
redundancy of the two BCSM is lost.

Connection between SMS and BCSM

TCP/IP is used for the connection between SMS and BCSM.
The connection between SMS and BCSM is a synchronous interface. This means, after
sending a command to the BCSM the SMS waits for an answer. Afterwards the SMS sends the
next command.
The SMS connects to a dedicated port at the BCSM. If the connection breaks down, the SMS
has to reconnect.
At first the SMS has to send a registration command. Within this message it send the SMS
operator ID to the BCSM. The BCSM checks if the IP address and the SMS operator ID of the
SMS is configured within the system. The BCSM sends an acknowledgement for this
registration. In case the IP address or the SMS operator ID is not valid the BCSM sends a 'not
OK' within the acknowledgment and closes the socket.
If the SMS wants to disconnect it is recommended to sent an appropriate command (the
command is described in SHTDWN on page 3-5).
At the BCSM a time-out is implemented. If the BCSM gets no SMS command within a given
time frame it will close the socket. The connection is kept by sending a message within the
time frame. If no message needs to be sent, the HOLDTL message is used (this command is
described in HOLDTL on page 3-6).

SMS Commands

SMS commands are commands which are sent from a SMS to a BCSM.
There are two major types of commands: online and offline commands. These types are only
different in the handling within the BCSM.
Online commands trigger the production of one EMM, which is directly addressed to a sector
of a ViewRight STB client and played out only one time. In case of the command is not a PIN
related (IMPINR and IMPINS) command or a command which triggers an update of a key
(IMKSET) an online command triggers also an update of a cyclic EMM.
Offline commands only trigger an update of a cyclic EMM.
The BCSM sent a return message as an answer to a SMS command. Within this return
message could be an error message if an error occurred.
On-Screen-Message commands are either online (cycle_duration = ONCE) or offline
otherwise.
Examples of all commands and of error messages are shown in 3.
the following section are included:
 online commands
 off line commands

Online Commands
The name of an online command starts with "IM" (for "immediate") and is followed by four
letters or numbers which describe the meaning of the command.

IMPENT
Immediate Product Entitlement (for set of products)
The resulting EMM gives the entitlement for one product or a set of products to a ViewRight
STB client.
The name(s) of the product(s) is (are) sent from the SMS to the BCSM within this SMS
command.

IMPDEL
Immediate Product Deletion (for set of products)

Subscriber Management System Interface 2-1

ENG-59 / Revision 1
 The resulting EMM deletes one product or a set of products from a ViewRight STB client.
The name(s) of the product(s) is (are) sent from the SMS to the BCSM within this SMS
command.

IMSENT
Immediate Product Entitlement (for a set of ViewRight STB clients)
The resulting EMM gives the entitlement for one product to one ViewRight STB client or to a
set of ViewRight STB clients.
The serial number(s) of the ViewRight STB client(s) is (are) sent from the SMS to the BCSM
within this SMS command.

IMSDEL
Immediate Product Deletion (for a list of ViewRight STB clients)
The resulting EMM deletes the entitlement for one product one ViewRight STB client or from a
set of ViewRight STB clients.
The serial number(s) of the ViewRight STB client(s) are sent from the SMS to the BCSM
within this SMS command.

IMDALL
Immediate Deletion of all entitled products
The resulting EMMs delete all entitlemented products from a sector of a ViewRight STB client.

IMCALL
Immediate clearing of all products, master/slave relations and pairing information.
The resulting EMMs delete all products from a sector of a ViewRight STB client. Additionally,
master/slave joining information and pairing information is removed.

IMPINR
Immediate reset of all PIN values
The resulting EMM writes the default values for the four PINs on the ViewRight STB client.
The default values are stored in the database of the BCSM.

2-2 Subscriber Management System Interface

ENG-59 / Revision 1
 IMPINS
Immediate reset of a PIN
This SMS command transmits the values for a set of PINs and the indices of these PINs. The
resulting EMM writes the values for these PINs with the given indices on the ViewRight STB
client.
Actually the following PIN indices are supported:

Table 2-1. Supported PIN Indices

Pin Index Former impact

0 -

1 Parental Control / IOPS

2 Homeshopping

3 Set Top Box lock

IMKSET
Immediate G-Key Set
The resulting EMM writes an actual group key on the sector of the ViewRight STB client.

IMREGI
Immediate Region Download for one ViewRight STB client
The resulting EMM loads the region described as the parameter to the ViewRight STB client
on the first sector of the sms-operator. The region coding which must be used in ECMs is
translated in the CAS using the region-table in the database. If a ViewRight STB client has
assigned a region, this region is downloaded together with the keys when an IMKSET or
CYKSET is executed.
The serial number of the ViewRight STB client and the region-name are sent from the SMS to
the BCSM within this SMS command.

IMPURS
Immediate Purse Download for one ViewRight STB client
The resulting EMM loads the purse of the ViewRight STB client on the first sector of the sms-
operator to the given value. If the purse-value is smaller than the purse value stored on the
ViewRight STB client already, no action will happen on the ViewRight STB client. The purse
value on the ViewRight STB client is an only increasing value, which is compared to the used-
token-counter which is always incremented, when tokens are used. The difference between
the purse value and the used-token-counter can be read from the ViewRight STB client. The
absolute values are not available. The SMS is responsible for tracking the absolute value of
the purse.

Subscriber Management System Interface 2-3

ENG-59 / Revision 1
 The serial number of the ViewRight STB client and the purse value are sent from the SMS to
the BCSM within this SMS command.

IPEDEL
Immediate PreEntitlement Deletion
The resulting EMM immediately deactivates an existing preentitlement by erasing the
specified products from the ViewRight STB client.

PESTOP
PreEntitlement Stop
The resulting EMM immediately ends preentitlement for all products by erasing all products
and the keys.

Offline commands
The name of an offline command starts with "CY" (for "cyclic") and is followed by four letters
or numbers which describe the meaning of the command.

CYPENT
Cyclic Product Entitlement (for a set of products)
The resulting EMM gives the entitlement for one product or a set of products to a ViewRight
STB client.
The name(s) of the product(s) is (are) sent from the SMS to the BCSM within this SMS
command.

CYPDEL
Cyclic Product Deletion (for a set of products)
The resulting EMM deletes one product or a set of products from a ViewRight STB client.
The name(s) of the product(s) is (are) sent from the SMS to the BCSM within this SMS
command.

The resulting EMM gives the entitlement for one product to one ViewRight STB client or to a
set of ViewRight STB clients.
The serial number(s) of the ViewRight STB client(s) is (are) sent from the SMS to the BCSM
within this SMS command.

2-4 Subscriber Management System Interface

ENG-59 / Revision 1
 CYSDEL
Cyclic Product Deletion (from a set of ViewRight STB clients)
The resulting EMM deletes the entitlement for one product one ViewRight STB client or from
a set of ViewRight STB clients.
The serial number(s) of the ViewRight STB client(s) is (are) sent from the SMS to the BCSM
within this SMS command.

CYKSET
Cyclic G-Key Set
The resulting EMM writes an actual group key on the sector of the ViewRight STB client.

Additional Commands

REGIST
Registration command
This command is used for the SMS to register at the BCSM. In case of a failure of the
registration the BCSM closes the socket after sending a return message.

SHTDWN
Shutdown
This command is sent from the SMS if it wants to disconnect. The BCSM sends a response to
this command and closes the socket.

HOLDTL
Hold the line
This command has to be sent regularly if no other command is sent to keep the TCP/IP
connection established.
The frequency of this command must be minor than the time-out value which is configured
at the BCSM.

PROTRI
Trigger for generation of EMMs
This command sets or updates product times in the database of the BCSM. These product
times are the start time of the product trailer, start time of the product and the end time of
the product. Receiving these parameters the BCSM sets the according values in the database
table IndividualTimedProduct where the value for product is the same as in the EMM Trigger.

Subscriber Management System Interface 2-5

ENG-59 / Revision 1
 If there is no product with the name in the database table, an error message is created. If
there are values for start_trailer, start_product and end_product in the according record,
these values will be updated.
According to these times the EMM play-out is started or ended by the BCSM.
An EMM Trigger command is sent once. Only in case of a change of one of the times the
command regarding one product is sent once more. In this command all three times have to
be transmitted not only the part which shall be changed.
Re-use of a product
In some cases a product is re-used after the end time of the product (e.g. a special event is
repeated few days after the first broadcast and subscriber have access to this repetition as
well). This product has to be configured for all the time within the BCSM. The EMMTrigger is
sent twice.

On-Screen-Message Commands
This chapter describes a set of commands to the BCSM which trigger the playout of an OSM
or text download EMM. The general notion of OnScreenMessages (OSM) comprises two
different message types: OSMs that instruct the STB to actually display a certain message
and text downloads (TXDs) that add a text fragment to the STB's internal store for later use
(see \Txx meta characters in Dialog Text Meta Characters on page 2-18).
Several formatting options, the position on the screen and the display time can be defined in
a simple language referred to as osm descriptor. OSMs may refer to previously downloaded
(via text download) or box-specific text fragments and can be delivered in up to sixteen
separate parts.
OnScreenMessages are embedded into special EMMs and addressed either to all or to single
individual ViewRight STB clients.

Chat Commands
This chapter describes a set of commands to the BCSM which trigger the playout of EMMs
used to build up a chat forum. A chat forum is build sending different lines of the displayed
screen in single text messages and a layout definition comprising all messages to be
displayed.
The Chat messages containing the individual line information is sent out as an encrypted
EMM using a product filter to enable and disable the customers for this service. The layout
definition is sent out as a non encrypted EMM containing only the references for the lines.
Up to 16 chat forums can be supported by the one system. The receiving and the selection of
the broadcasted chat entries must be done outside of the BCSM.
Note that all chat commands are accepted only by a dedicated chat processor with a
dedicated port. In addition to the chat commands, described below, the common commands
in Additional Commands on page 2-5 (e.g. REGIST, HOLDTL, etc.) are also applicable for
chat.

Subscriber Management System Interface 2-7

ENG-59 / Revision 1
 CHTROM
Universal addressed Chat message including the chat room title (no encryption).

CHTTXT
Universal addressed Chat message including the chat text with optional chat line references
(see section 2.8.5). Chat texts may be defined with a product filter. Application of a product
filter implies encryption of the EMM.

CHTLIN
universal addressed Chat message including the text of a specific chat line (referenced in
chat text). Chat lines may be defined with a product filter. Application of a product filter
implies encryption of the EMM.

CHTDEL
Chat deletion, stops the playout of all CHTTXT and CHTLIN messages for a chatroom. In
addition the chat room title is reset such that the chat room is no more visible in a chat room
list.

CHTDLI
Chat line deletion, stops the playout of a CHTLIN message.

Pairing Commands
This chapter describes a set of commands to the BCSM which trigger the playout of EMMs
used to build up the pairing between a set top box and the ViewRight STB client. The
maximal number of ViewRight STB client that can be paired to one set top box as well as the
maximal number of set top boxes that can be paired to one ViewRight STB client can be
configured in the BCSM.

ADDPBX
Adds the given set top box id to the list of known set top boxes. Only set top box ids, that are
known to the system can be used for the following pairing commands.

PAIRSC
Individually addressed EMM pairing the addressed ViewRight STB client to a given set top
box.

2-8 Subscriber Management System Interface

ENG-59 / Revision 1
 UNPAIR
Individually addressed EMM unpairing the addressed ViewRight STB client from any or the
given set top box. Also used for unpairing a set top box from any ViewRight STB client.

GTPAIR
Utility command for querying the pairing status of the given ViewRight STB client. Does not
produce any EMM.

Master Slave Commands

This chapter describes a set of commands to the BCSM which trigger the playout of EMMs
used to build up the master slave binding between different ViewRight STB clients.

JOINMS
Joins the given first ViewRight STB client as the master to all other given slave ViewRight
STB clients. All other existing master/slave relations of the given STBs and their previous
masters and slaves are implicitly removed.

UNJOIN
Removes the joining information for all given ViewRight STB clients

Syntax

Rules
 For each parameter of the commands only ASCII-strings (7 bit characters) are
supported.
 The end of each command is indicated with '\n' or '\r'. Within the examples of this
document '\n' is used.
 The different parts of one command are separated with a comma.
 No blanks are supported.
 Parameters for lists (within the commands IMPENT, IMPDEL, IMSENT, IMSDEL, CYPENT,
CYPDEL, CYSENT and CYSDEL) are enclosed in parentheses '(...)'.
 Only upper case letters are supported (for the command names).

General syntax of the commands

The general syntax of the commands sent by a SMS looks like this:

Subscriber Management System Interface 2-9

ENG-59 / Revision 1
 < me s sa ge _ nu mb er > ,< co mm a nd _n a me >, <p a ra me te r s>
The return messages are described in Syntax of the return message on page 2-18.

Message Number
The message number within the SMS command will be copied in the answer of the BCSM as
it is and will be printed out in a log file. Therefore each message sent from a SMS can be
identified by its message number and the dedicated answer from the BCSM can be assigned
to. It is recommended to use unique message numbers.
The return message to a SMS commands gets the same message number. Thus it is possible
to link command and reply.
Message numbers are restricted to unsigned numbers (max. 9 digits).
The message number must not have leading '0's.

SMS Operator
The SMS operator is used to identify a SMS or a part of one SMS.
The SMS gateway (in case of redundancy at the BCSM) checks whether the SMS operator
mentioned in the command is allowed to send commands to this port.
The BCSM checks whether this SMS Operator is allowed to write an entitlement for the
product mentioned in the message on the sector for which the product is configured (in the
BCSM).

Command Name
The command name indicates which command should be used. It is written in upper case
letters.

Parameters
Belonging to the command name there are different parameters transmitted in the message.
The impact of the different parameters is shown in Table 2-3 on page 2-13.
