Setting the System Defaults
After DSM/TC is installed on the system, to begin configuring the system, the super-
group user or SECURITY-MEDIA-ADMIN group user must type MEDIACOM at the
TACL prompt to start a MEDIACOM session:
TACL> MEDIACOM

MC>info mediadefs
Support Level NOCATALOG

The NOCATALOG level is changed to COMPATIBLE, so both labeled and unlabeled
