    Just edit the networking file

    /etc/init.d/networking


    find "ifconfig eth0 up" in line 63


    and add a new line 64 with your mac address.


    ifconfig eth0 hw ether A0:BB:3E:XX:XX:XX


    Enjoy

    Hi friend, I have already contacted Octagon for the problem of mac addresses and as they say, Define is not in enigma2 and does not have the same functioning at all, I have never managed to change the mac address with Define, congratulations to you if you get there....




    Thank you in any case for your work which works very well, I will see with a friend programmer if he can make a script for changing the Mac address....

    Make a script, it seems feasible to me, but we will put it where to be able to launch it with Define ?????

    I used this telnet command to change my mac address to my other spider-x 4k receiver


    and use my revcam subscription to define os sf8008 octagon.


    the operation is performed manually and is termed with success

    Hi.


    The PuTTY toolkit also includes the PLINK.EXE utility, with which it is possible to send commands to SSH or Telnet via the Windows command line.

    Using the command-line connection tool Plink


    For example, if you need to restart the Enigma2-GUI, in your set-top box:

    plink.exe -batch -v -t -ssh IP_ADDRESS -l root -pw YOUR_PASSWORD "/sbin/init 4 && sleep 5 && /sbin/init 3"


    Of course, store passwords on your computer, is not safe way other than store the password in your own head only.


    Hi friend and thank you, what we are looking for with Najdine is to start a script in the Octagon Define program which is not in enigma2....it's a bit complicated but it will be done ....

    Changed the title of the thread from “How can I make a script that opens telnet and executes MAC change commands automatically when sf8008 boots up Image define” to “Finally solved : how change the MAC ADDRESS of Octagon SF8008 on define os”.

    So... if I understand correctly, the Octagon device's chipset, after each reboot or power lost, sets a randomly generated MAC address on the internal network adapter (the network interface controller - i.e. NIC) ?

    Hi friend and thank you for your interest in this problem.....in fact the concern comes from the special program provided by Octagon, which is not in enigma 2 named define....and there to be able use a script, we don't know where to place it, I'll post you a vodeo of the program in question, I'm still looking and testing to see....

    He launches the program define in the video at 1mn26....

    Oh, OK, I understand now... so... the problem only concerns the Define OS 6.3 firmware for Octagon devices, which is actually something like Enigma2. Or is it really some Enigma2 distribution?

    it is a port of there own firmware used on the non Linux octagon STB's

    However it still has a similar file structure with root access, i no longer have the device myself so unable to test where to place a script any longer.

    The location of oscam initd files may be a clue.

    yes it dose
    Unzip and ftp the attached oscam-gx to home/gx/local/oscam
    give the file 755 permissions
    reboot box
    then menu - settings and enter 6363 for the hidden menu option to bring up "cam settings"


    You can access oscam webif in the normal way RecieverIP:8888
