  • Hi, I have set up a debian 6 linux server with automated CCcam 2.3.0 and have added config file using CS studio. I now need to set up my smargo smart readers but don't know whether I need to install smargo drivers to get them to work. If so can anybody help me out with installing the drivers as I am finding it a bit difficult to understand the tutorials I have read, Thanks.

  • smargo should work fine out the box !


    you'll need to do dmesg command to find correct path !


    Omnikey requires special drivers if i remember correctly not smargo !

    Thanks mate, when you do dmesg command is that to find out what USB port the smargo smart reader is in so I can put the right number in my config i.e SERIAL READER : /dev/ttyUSB0 smartreader+


    Thanks for the help

  • smargo works fine in debian no drivers needed..what card are you wanting to read as you need the correct configs putting into cccam.cfg


    Sly Uk, do you have a example of the correct config needed, obviously need to put my correct boxkey. This is the one I have in at the moment -


    SERIAL READER : /dev/ttyUSB0 smartreader+
    SMARTCARD CLOCK FREQUENCY: /dev/ttyUSB0 6860000
    BOXKEY : /dev/ttyUSB0 ** ** ** **


    but I am not getting entitlements only -


    card reader /dev/ttyUSB0
    no or unknown card inserted


    I have tried the smargo reader in every USB port but still says the same.


    Any ideas?


    Thanks for you time

  • give us the output from dmesg command please


    /dev/tty 001:003
