How does a DCM for a particular device get installed on an IAV or FAV?
In principle there can be multiple DCMs for one particular device present in a HAVi network. When a device is inserted or powered up in the network, all IAVs and FAVs will check to determine if they have a DCM for that device, then negotiate with each other for which DCM will be installed for the device, and upon which IAV or FAV it will be installed. Only one DCM can be installed at any time for each particular device. This selection and installation process is controlled by the DCM Managers on the IAVs and FAVs, however, HAVi offers several user definable preferences settings for this process.
