Oscam to Oscam using Newcamd

Well,
Ok, I finally (after listening to you guys) did bit the apple and asked the guy if he could give me some more lines for my other friends. (See this for an update: http://linuxsat-support.com/showthread.php?t=87349)
The thing was that he asked me if I could hook him up with my sister for a date. Said and done I talked her in to that after begging and some sugar talking her...

So this way he gave me a “newcamd” line where I could hook up a couple of friends.
I set up a newcamd connection following this article: http://linuxsat-support.com/showthread.php?t=12230
So my set up looks like this:

All is up and running quite well, but I have some questions:

A. Do you think it is OK?

B. My users Mike and Bastardo, should they have “cccmaxhops = 2” and “cccreshare =2”. Are they really needed? I don’t want to reshare anything.

C. I don’t have any “AU” set on any users and no “AU” on the reader. The guy tells me that that the “newcamd” connection to his server has “AU” set. Will that be enough to update my users?

D. If you have any further suggestions I’m all ears ;)

Thanks for reading :41_002:

Thanks for your answer.
But I have difficulties to really understand what you're saying. I know it's me that have no clue.
But is what you're saying, that if the newcamd connection on his part has AU, I shouldn't worry?

Also how about my users should they have “cccmaxhops = 2” and “cccreshare =2”?

Hehe, he's still a weirdo but I may change my mind.. :48_002:

au parameter is only needed if you are updating entitlements on a real card, you`re not so remove it..
hop 2 and above is the most stable with less ecm time, 3,4,5 is further away from the real card, more ping = less stable.
If you don`t want to reshare use cccreshare = 0

Thanks for the explanation. But I still can't grasp the "hop" thing. Do I need any "hops" at all? What do the do
they actually do?
