I have dreambox DM500+ and a phoenix card reader which is that(http://www.abcom.gr/...&category_id=36). I would like to connect that to RS232 as external reader.. I've tried anything but it doesn't work. Please need Help. I have CCcam 2.0.9.

[clouca]

can anyone help me please?

I never used cccam or an external card reader, but I assume cccam would need to be configured to use the external card reader rather than the cardslot, or along with the cardslot perhaps. Did you edit the:

# Serial reader config. Add as many as you have attached too your system
# replaces old name 'PHOENIX READER PATH', but still works.
# default is none
# optionally add readertype : phoenix,mouse,uniprog,sc8in1,smartreader+
# (when non readertype given defaults to uniprog (e.g. for mastera))
#
# SERIAL READER : <device> <type>
#
# example
#
#SERIAL READER : /dev/tts/0

... section of the conf file?

thanks for your answer.. i tried that but it didn't works.. does anyone knows the address of serial reader in DM 500+.

[pieterg]

if /dev/tts/0 exists, it's probably that.
If it doesn't, but something like /dev/ttyS0 exists, that would be it.

It doesn't work. I decided to connect phoenic reader in my computer. Can i use Live Cd for Linux. CCcam runs on live cd but i think the commands on CCcam.cong don't work.. Please i need help i bought Phoenix Reader about 50 euro and it didn't work.

CCcam.x86 works fine on even a live CD
You need to read your CCcam.cfg file and set up the serial reader: /dev/whatever your flavour of linux uses.

Did I miss something here, but why are you using a phoenix card reader when the DM box will read most cards except for a few pirate irdeto cards - white in colour.

@pieterg - does the 500+ have the same /dev/tts/0 issues as the 600pvr? If so no go

@pieterg - does the 500+ have the same /dev/tts/0 issues as the 600pvr? If so no go

I was not aware of any? But if you say so, yes, the 500+ has pretty much the same hardware as the 600.

i am trying to use phoenix card reader because i have 2 cards and one card reader. How can i check for erorrs in CCcam.cfg.(like a compiler).If i can compile i will install linux and CCcam and so i can see erorrs like.. reader not found and so on..

[nfnovice]

the easiest way to debug Cccam is from command line
telnet into box and run "CCcam -d"

[clouca]

when i write that i get the message permission denied

[jonc]

telnet to your box

then do this

cd /var/bin (for a 500)

cd /usr/bin (for a 500+, 600, 7020)

./CCcam -d

and see, it works perfect

If you want extra data for debugging use this command

./CCcam -dv


edit:
PS: make sure you stop or kill the existing CCcam process first before you run the process above - this will do it "killall CCcam"

SERIAL READER : /dev/tts/0
TRY ALL CHIDS : /dev/tts/0

this is what I've found but never tried it

[clouca]

Thanks for your help. I want to ask something. How can i confirm that my phoenix reader works properly on my pc before buying any irdeto card. I want to be sure if it works before buying a card.. Thanks.
I have installed Ubuntu 7.04 and CCcam 2.0.9.
my card reader is that(http://www.abcom.gr/...&category_id=36)
