Newbie config (DM500s & DM7000s)

[Anubis2008]

Hello All,

I currently have a paid subscription to Fo*tel which is currently running through their provided Pace decoder. The card is NDS.

I have on hand a DM7000 and two DM500s boxes. I successfully configured one of the DM500s boxes today to use the card following the instructions provided on

My question is, how can I now share this singular card with other dreamboxes? I tried to get the DM7000 to read the card but that didn't work (hence why I tried using the 500). So is it possible to link the other 500 to the 500 with the working card?

Thanks in advance for any assistance offered.
Anubis.

The person who sold you the gear can't help?

(cause there is a lot do learn.)

were you using the same version of CCcam on the 7000 as you are now with the 500s?

Not all versions work with our cards...

My tute been getting around using quite a bit of bandwidth monthly now lol

No, so far I've only tried following the steps as recommended in your excellent guide which got our 500 working.

I had been talking with the supplier but they don't seem to know much and are taking a very long time to get back to me, besides I'd prefer to learn myself that way I understand it better.

I have found another tutorial today on another forum which I think gives me what I need; I will give that a go.

As mentioned initially all I need to find is the config needed to turn the DM500 into a server (as this is already working with our legit card) and then program the other 500 to listen as a client.


Also, could you point out a good tutorial on how to change the os of the dreambox, ours came preloaded with the Gemini Project (but I don't know the version) and I see many are recommending others, is this best to stay with this os or change, if so, is there a good tutorial on how to change?


Finally, I've also heard that if my paid card is not left in the Pace box at least once for an update each two weeks, the card will deactivate, is this true?


Many thanks for your replies!!

Try get the 7000 reading the sub card much better than running the 500s as a server. Either would still work.

As a beginner try get everything working with just CCcam locally..

Have a read of this:

Gemini is fine, you will need a null modem cable or it can be done over a network.

Have a read here also:

If using just CCcam it would most likely miss a update so after 2weekish you wont have pics you would need to place the card back in the pace box for a few min..


Would post more info but im about to fall of this chair need to finish what im doing to get SOME sleep!

HAVE FUN READING, GOOGLING!

Using purely CCcam 2.0.8 here on 7000 with f0xtel card - no missed updates since CCcam 2.0.5 and above
Also works my a0rora card just fine
I agree with toor - Server 7000 - clients use 500.
server need 2.0.5 or above for updates to card
clients doesnt matter - my 5620 has 2.0.4 in built in os - works fine

Make your config files (CCcam.cfg) look like these
While it looks like the 7000 is the server
it wont matter which machine you shove the card in
They should all go.
Remember - just change the IP No's to suit your set-up

Thank you all very, very, very much for your assistance. I have successfully got the sharing to work using the two 500's and I am going to flash the 7000 with GP this afternoon and set that up as the server.

Cheers and again many thanks to all.
