This tutorial will explain how to use the Open Source Conditional Access Module (Oscam) as a server to read your Sly white card and Mgcamd as the softcam.
OSCAM CONFIGURATION
All Oscam configuration files are located in /var/tuxbox/config folder for Enigma1 or /etc/tuxbox/config for Enigma2 receivers.
The three important files are:
oscam.conf
oscam.server
oscam.user
The oscam.conf is as follows:
[global]
logfile = /tmp/oscam.log
nice = -1
preferlocalcards = 1
saveinithistory = 1
resolvegethostbyname = 1
# logging
#pidfile = /var/run/oscam.pid
logfile = /var/log/oscam.log
usrfile = /var/log/oscamuser.log
cwlogdir = /var/log/cw.log
maxlogsize = 1000
[monitor]
port = 0
nocrypt =
aulow = 30
hideclient_to = 15
monlevel = 3
appendchaninfo = 0
[newcamd]
port = 34000@0963:000000
key = 0102030405060708091011121314
allowed =
keepalive = 1
mgclient = 0
[webif]
httpport = 3001
httphelplang = en
httpuser = admin
httppwd = admin
httprefresh = 10
httpallowed = 192.168.1.1-192.168.1.255
httphideidleclients = 1
httpreadonly = 0
httpsavefullcfg = 0In this section we have used [newcamd] as the client protocol, the port we want to use for the server (34000) and the card type we want this port to service (0963 – NDS white card as used by Sly Digital UK).
The [webif] is the section we define the web interface configuration. We set such options as username, password, port to access the webinterface. The httpallowed section is what clients we want to connect, the above example allows client with an IP address range of 192.168.1.1-192.168.1.255 to connect, therefore we do not allow external clients to connect. Modify this section to reflect the subnet on your local area network.
The oscam.server file is as follows:
[reader]
label = slot1
enable = 1
Protocol = internal
Detect = CD
Device = /dev/sci0
group = 1
EMMCache = 1,3,2
boxid = xxxxxxxx
blockemm-u = 0
blockemm-s = 0
blockemm-g = 1
blockemm-unknown = 1
caid = 0963In this section we specific the details of the card we wish to share.
The [Device=/dev/sci0] related to the first card slot in the receiver., if you are using the bottom slot [Device=/dev/sci1]
The [boxid] is entered here – please note latest releases of OSCam do not require the box key to be included in the oscam.server file – just remove or # out boxid = xxxxxxxx and it will detect it automatically.
The [caid ]is the card we are to read (0963 – NDS white card as used by Sly Digital UK).
The oscam.user file is as follows:
[account]
user = xxxxx
pwd = xxxxx
group = 1
uniq = 1
monlevel = 0
au = 1
caid = 0963
cccmaxhops = -1
cccreshare = -10This is where all users accounts are created.
[au] set this to 1 for only one user, who is the only user allowed to send EMM from the client. You can use the web interface to add more user accounts or modify the oscam.user file and add accounts as required.
For following oscam.user file has 3 accounts setup.
[account]
user = xxx
pwd = xxx
group = 1
uniq = 1
monlevel = 0
au = 1
caid = 0963
cccmaxhops = -1
cccreshare = -10
[account]
user = zzz
pwd = zzz
uniq = 1
monlevel = 0
au = 0
caid = 0963
cccmaxhops = -1
cccreshare = -10
[account]
user = yyy
pwd = yyy
disabled = 1
group = 1
uniq = 1
monlevel = 0
au = 0
caid = 0963
cccmaxhops = -1
cccreshare = -10
group = 1As you can see, we only allow one user account to au by setting the option to 1 for a single user account and 0 for the other user accounts.
Once oscam configuration is complete, connect to the web interface via your favourite browser and check the debug information on the main page or use this shell command in telnet.
tail -f /var/log/oscam.logIf no errors were detected, then oscam is ready as a server and waiting for clients to connect.
MGCAMD CONFIGURATION
We will use Mgcamd as a client, Modify the newcamd.list file located in /var/keys. The following is an example of the newcamd.list file connect to an internal oscam server on IP address 192.168.1.7, port 34000, with username and password as xxx.
CWS_KEEPALIVE = 300
CWS_INCOMING_PORT = 21000
CWS= 192.168.1.7 34000 xxx xxx 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 lan oscam2The mg_cfg file is located in/var/keys has the configuration for Mgcamd client.
