3. Mode Selection

Two modes are available for the tool: "STB Mode" and "Active Mode", which are applicable to different templates for different purposes. The default

mode is STB Model.

STB Model: suitable for HD and OSD templates. Some templates cannot be displayed in the IE mode and can only be displayed in the STB in

order to complete recording;

Active Mode: suitable for general definition templates that are JSP web pages that can be displayed in the IE.

The STB Model is applicable to all templates. However, the Active Model is more convenient to operate.

4. Performing Manual Testing in STB Model

1 In the "STB Model", enter the username, select an EPG and then click Login.

User Password rules are as follows:

No password is needed if SLCS serves as the management platform;

Password is needed if the management platform is not SLCS.

2 After login, "Record" becomes available. An STB should be configured in order to perform the test. The user of the STB should be the same as

the one entered on the auto-test tool login screen.

STB logs in to is consitent as the one to be tested.
