5.2.3 Customer Service Mode (CSM)
Purpose
When a customer is having problems with his TV-set, he can
call his dealer or the Customer Helpdesk. The service
technician can then ask the customer to activate the CSM, in
order to identify the status of the set. Now, the service
technician can judge the severity of the complaint. In many
cases, he can advise the customer how to solve the problem,
or he can decide if it is necessary to visit the customer
Contents of CSM
The contents are displayed on two pages:
• Model Number. This information is very helpful for a
helpdesk/workshop as reference for further diagnosis. In
this way, it is not necessary for the customer to look at the
rear of the TV-set. Note that if an NVM is replaced or is
initialised after corruption, this model type has to be rewritten to NVM. ComPair will foresee in a possibility to do
this.
• Production Serial Number. Displays the production code
(the serial number) of the TV. Note that if an NVM is
replaced or is initialized after corruption, this production
code has to be re-written to NVM. ComPair will foresee a in
possibility to do this.
• Software Version. Displays the current main software
version. In case of field problems that are related to
software, this software can be upgraded. As it is consumer
upgradeable, it will also be published on the Internet.
• Option Code. Gives the display codes as set in SAM. See
also section 6.4 Option Settings
.
• Codes. Gives the error code overview. See also table 5-3
Layer-2 code overview.
• SSB. Gives an identification of the SSB order code as
stored in NVM. Note that if an NVM is replaced or is
initialized after corruption, this identification number has to
be re-written to NVM. ComPair will foresee in a possibility
