Description
The STB will execute a GetPrimaryStatus command by providing the STB’s health
and status as defined by the Return Data Stream parameters.
The STB will provide current time in Universal Time Coordinate (UTC)
unconditioned by time zone and daylight savings settings.
The fields ROMVer3, ROMVer2, ROMVer1, ROMVer0, STS ID0, STS ID1, STS
ID2, STS ID3, STS Ver are private.
The CAM ID is returned in hexadecimal with zeroes stuffed into the most significant
positions to fill out the unused bits. For example, a CAM ID = 0013 1751 9641 in hex
is 0x4E87C119. The GetPrimaryStatus command would return 00 00 4E 87 C1 19 for
the CAM ID.
The RID ID is returned in hexadecimal with zeroes stuffed into the most significant
positions to fill out the unused bits. For example, a RID = 0001 7035 6778 in hex is
0xA27702A. The GetPrimaryStatus command would return 00 00 0A 27 70 2A for
the RID.
