STDC 3.1

An application in the Motorola cable system that provides a rich set of diagnostic and monitoring tools for the purpose of managing the set-top population.
It operates as a client/server model, with the client running in the set-top and the server running in the Headend.
The STDC Server acts as a Data Collector in the following modes:
- Configurable, autonomous set-top transmission of status at slow periodic rate (typically once per day). - Each set-top client will collect the relevant diagnostic data(CAM datasets) and forward them, as configured, to the STDC server
- Direct, immediate access to single set-top status via STDC GUI (e.g. by CSR)
