Help with Card Reader

  • Hi guys,


    After reading nearly ALL the tut's, I have managed to setup Oscam/cccam on a Unix 12.04 64bit box. :))


    After hours of installs and re-installs I managed to see my card being read by the Oscam interface on :8888
    However when logging in to :16001 I'm seeing error "no or unknown card"


    Any ideas? Let me know what further info you require to help me diagnose.
    Thanks
    Ash

    This is how its supposed to be, oscam reads the card then passes the share to CCcam so the entitlements are own shown in oscam.
    If you need help configuring the connecting nline then post your configs buddy.

  • thanks for the quick reply.
    I'm using CS Studio on my windows PC and under the tab LOCAL CARD I'm also seeing "card reader /dev/ttyusb0, no or unknown card inserted"


    Is this normal till i finish configuring nline etc?


    thanks

  • hi,
    I think I have my N: Line
    N: 192.168.0.150 10000 cccam cccam 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 256


    how do i upload this to my solo2 to watch my channels...

    Remove the line referring to card reader /dev/ttyusb0 from your CCcam.cfg as you only want the reader to be used by oscam, no entitlements will be shown in cs studio as the card is read in oscam.

    thanks


    You make an fline in the servers cccam.cfg for your solo2 to connect, the nline will go in the servers cccam.cfg also with the ip 127.0.0.1.
    Post your oscam configs if you are unsure.

  • thanks again...

    You were right with the nline buddy, as above with this in the servers CCcam.cfg


    Code
    N: 127.0.0.1 10000 cccam cccam 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 256
  • do i now upload the cccam.cfg with a f:line to the solo2?


    my fline and nline entries on the server look like this... in the cccam.cfg file.
    n:127.0.0.1 10000 cccam cccam 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 256
    f: 127.0.0.1 cccam cccam 2 0 0 {0:0:2}


    and i have prepared another CCcam.cfg file to be uploaded to my solo2 with the entry
    f: 127.0.0.1 cccam cccam 2 0 0 {0:0:2}


    is this correct?
    thanks very much.

    F: 127.0.0.1 cccam cccam 2 0 0 {0:0:2}


    thanks for the advice. :)

  • in your Solo2 you will need to put in a C:Line corresponding to the F:Line in your cccam server in this format:
    C: ip.of.urserver portnumber username password


    eg.
    C: 192.168.1.110 1234 VUSolo password


    The line in your server should look like this:
    F: VUSolo password 2 0 0 { 0:0:2 } { } { } 192.168.1.150 #My VU Solo


    *** Change this ip address to that of your solo, This is really only needed to secure external lines by locking them to an IP address, but its good practice...***
    *** This is just an ignored note that is handy to keep track of & identify your shares...***



    Have a look at this tut by Ten
    http://linuxsat-support.com/ca…nes-clines-beginners.html


    Change the following:

    Code
    boxkey: does this field require data?
    smartcard clock frequency: /dev/ttyusb0 6800000


    To:

    Code
    #BOXKEY: 
    #SMARTCARD CLOCK FREQUENCY:


    Because Oscam is reading your Card

    CS Studio is also showing me life... :)
    However nothing on the Solo2... :(

  • Read back previous post..


    If you used my Tut
    http://linuxsat-support.com/li…-1-3-install-package.html
    which it looks like you did, looking at your configs... read the tut in full, including all the links to follow up tuts for configuring your setup e.g. Flines & Clines.. Better to help yourself before you ask others because you will understand things better that way.


    Good luck..

    Excellent! I got it. :) :)
    however, some channels, e.g. sly1 hd etc dont show up... i know i have to use a hex calc to figure this out, which i thought i did, but still no joy... maybe i should get the serial # from the engineer setup?

    Hex Calc to figure what out? You Dont need boxkey in cccam m8, Oscam is reading your card and oscam extracts it automatically, just hash out those lines in cccam as explained a few posts back.. When you (#) a line in cccam.cfg, cccam ignores it..

    sorry, i meant boxid in oscam.server file
    dont i need that for the card to become "paired to the sly box"?


    I'm going back and reading the tut's now.


    Thanks for your pateince m8. :)

  • hi guys!
    Just wanted to say a MASSIVE thank you.


    I hashed out "boxid" under oscam.server file, and sorted. :)
    All working. :)

    Hash it out in cccam.cfg, but remove the line completely from oscam.server

  • That is the only version you can use without losing hop's.
    If you upgrade oscam to 2.1.4 or 2.3.0, your local will show as hop 10..
    Your peers will not be too happy about that even though it is just cosmetic because your ecm times will in fact be normal, so stick with 2.1.3 m8..


    When you have mastered oscam/cccam, you can probably try out oscam only as server and reader but I would recommend that everybody starts off with an oscam/cccam setup to gain knowledge of how all the protocols work together, this will prove to be time well spent when trouble shooting problems in the future..

  • Hi again...
    I will configure my VU Duo tomorrow, and I was thinking, do I need to create an NLINE every time I add another box?


    I've tested the system over the net, and it worked 1st time. :)
    I have a spare desktop and thought I'd build another as backup... Plus will give me chance to practice.
    Thanks again guys. I is well happy. :)
