C: (server box ip )12000 box2 bedroom1 (this goes in to box 2 )
C: (server box ip) 12000 box3 bedroom2 (this goes in to box 3 )
in the server box you put
F:box2 bedroom1
F:box3 bedroom2
thanks would it be benificial to me ie reduce the work load of my card and box or will it just increase the ecm of box1 therefore not making a difference sorry to be a pain just want to understand a little more

if the other two boxes in your home are in bedrooms they probably wont be used any where near as much as the main box so they shouldnt put any stress on your card or server .i recommend that when the other two boxes are not in use power them off or leave them on a free to air channel and that will keep the ecms down .you should ask any clients you have to do the same .

its all a matter of control. if you trust an individual to reshare your services in a responsible fashion and let you know how many shares they are offering off your primary card then all is ok. If you cant be sure then its a simple matter of adding an extra fline in your server and then you know who is using your cards and to what extent

Hi guys
Quick question re: setting up cccam on a virtual server. Has anyone attempted this? I'm having difficulty copying my cccam.cfg onto the box.

joebhoy, filezilla is the same as flashxp. you connect to the box by using dm500 ip address, port is 21, username is root, password is dreambox. thats it.
balcee, what problem are you having. you are not supplying any useful info

so do i just use this number, as the examples in ccam cofig are much longer, or do i just add a load of zeros after these three digits?

jondalar, i use active lines only in cccam.cfg. why do users insist on removing lines from cccam.cfg rather than deleting the complete content and then adding proper active lines, as in you understand what the darn file does in the first place

fint,
i don't delete any lines in ccam.cfg as i use them as a ref. to what the programme can do. i have little or no formal training in computors except for a very small bit in collage, which i left 17 years ago and i have never really used them in the workplace. anything i do know (very little, i know) was self thought. the first time i ever saw linux code was two days before i posted my first comment on this thread, which is not that long ago. so to be honest, i don't understand what the darn file does, but i am trying to.

why would 963 be a part of cccam.cfg. the boxkey is got from the 9 digit number that is printed on the sly card you have. 963 is not relevant within the cfg ile

i'm not referring to the boxkey, i'm asking about uphops and downhops, i'm confused as to how to write the F and C lines that will not allow the client to share his cline further on.
if i am sharing only one card, what would my c and f line look like so that the cline only works for 1 hop? do i even need the caid in this case?

cline not relevant. fline would be F: username password 2 0 0 { 0:0:1 } if you are not allowing reshare and F: username password 2 0 0 { 0:0:2 }if you are allowing reshare one level down etc..

ok, so caid:id is not relavent if only one card is being shared, does 0:0 take the place of the caid:id?
2 0 0 this means he recieves at max two hops away, does not recieve emu and does not send emm (whatever that is). is that correct?
i've reread e.g's, 0:0 takes place of any and all cards, yeah?

you specify the caid in the fline if you wish to block channels being sent to users. example F: username password 2 0 0 { 0:0:2 } { 0963:000000:C5BC } means i allow reshare of my card 1 level down but i block espn to this user and all his clients.

hi guys
Quick question can Dm 500 be flashed through the browser as described in the tut below because I've tried several times and can't get it to work. and saw it some where that it can't be flashed that way thanks
Quote:
Hi all,
Just so everyone knows, you don't necessarily need to flash the box with a 232 serial cable. If you have connected your DB to the router, you will be able to see it on your network and even flash it wirelessly!
* Go to an internet browser on your PC/Laptop and go to the address: 192.168.2.1 (Note, the address may differ depending on your router - could be 192.168.0.1 or maybe 192.168.1.1).
* Once there, you should see some sort of router option which shows you a DHCP client list. In that list you will see all of your devices such as PC's, Laptops, Xboxes etc... You should also see your Dreambox too along with an IP address (Mine was 192.168.2.3). Make a note of your DB's IP address.
* With your DB plugged into the power, press and hold the power button. While pressed, unplug the box from the mains for about 20 seconds keeping the power button pressed.
* Reconnect the power to the box, continue to hold the power button for another ten seconds and then release the power button. Do not turn it on yet (if it auto switches on, just put it into standby).
* Go to your internet browser and go to the IP address of your DB that you noted earlier. You should see the default setup screen for the dreambox. On this page, there will be an option to flash the DB with an image via FTP. Click it and follow the prompt for your downloaded DB image.
The image will install itself onto the DB (ironically much quicker than through a serial cable). This even works from a wireless laptop which will be quite handy for those who don't really want to buy a serial to USB cable for one use only.
Hope this helps,

this is for dm800 not dm500. quickest way to reflash dm500 is to rename image as root.cramfs then put this file in /tmp. Then you do a manual update via the menu system. The system will see the root.crams file in /tmp. Click on it and the update takes very little time and no rs232 cable required
