DM 600 PVR - Configuration making me go crazy! HELP!

[sleddog]

Hi guys,

New to this forum. Not new to the technology - but new to these applications and services used at this time.

Would someone be kind to help me in this?

Environment/setup;

(Client environment)
* One DreamBox DM 600 PVR (will have two more in my house IF I'm satisfied with THIS one)
* Image: Gemini Project 4.70
* Several different Emu's as I didn't get ANYTHING to work - funny enough

(Server environment)
* Linux Slackware 13.0 cs-server with two Phoenix card readers
* NewCS 1.66 at the cs-server
* Two subscriptions of TV-channels (ie. two smart cards)

The LAN setup is pretty easy and straight forward. Both units are on the same local subnet (ie. 192.168.0.0/24), and they can communicate via Telnet and FTP - no problems.

The server will NOT be accessible from internet - no port forwarding needed.
The server is setup (currently) with basic basic basic settings, meaning settings with a user called TestUser/TestPassword, a deskey of "01 02 03 04..." etc.. The server IS functional - and I can reach it via its IP address with a web browser. And - the server CAN read my smart cards (the subscribed channels).

BUT..
For some reason I cannot get the DreamBox to work.
I can't get the subscription to work locally at the DreamBox nor with my cs-server. I have installed a few different Emu's but I must be doing something wrong with the configuration. According to what I've read - I should be able to run the DreamBox with the smart card IN the box after installing for example MgCamd or CCcam... or NewCS... right?

And - after some more configuring - I should be able to connect to my cs-server.. But still no luck.

Where would I start to troubleshoot?

I was looking at the NewCS logfile created - and I can see that the box sent some kind of message to port 10000 - but that is the <newcamd_port>. My portnumber for <newcamdserver> is 12000 (as default). But the log doesn't say anything about any connection attempts on that port, nor with any username or anything else..

Please help me not pull my hair out!!!!
I need your expertise!!

Thank you all (in advance) for contributing with your knowledge.

Tried to put the smartcardchip in the slot on the DB with the chip pointing down?

If not you aren´t the first one done that missed that...

What subscriptions do you have?

buggy >> Hi, and thank you for the prompt reply! I'm using /dev/ttyUSB0 as Slackware mounted the reader there.

sleddog >> Yep - I tried that! I had to push it in and drag it out several times on a regular plastic card to be sure actually.. I just wanted to see if it left some marks - and it did.. So.. Tried that - and didn't help.

Hmm.. The only thing that may be wrong - that I think - is the Emu.. I don't know which one to use - neither do I know how to configure it. Is there a quick resolution to just get it started?

Regarding the Subscriptions.. C*n*l Digit*l, and Vi*S*t [Swedish]

Another question.. I don't know if I should start a new thread for this - but I might as well ask as I'm writing. After installing the image Gemini Project 4.70 - the transponders seemed messed up(?) I couldn't find Thor(0,9W) anymore.. But I found a strangely named one at 0,8W.. I searched for the channels - and I got them all.. Just interested to know if someone seen this before(?) And if there's a solution to this?

Thank you both for your replies!

Regards,
M

Testat med mgcamd?

mgcamd + mgcamd config

I usr/keys (tror jag det är på 600an) ligger newcamd.list, om inte skapa en sådan.

lägg till
CWS = serverip canaldigitalport user pass 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 lan servernamn
CWS = serverip viasattport user pass 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 lan servernamn

Om inte några emm skickas, testa ändra AU alternativ i mg_cfg
