I recently bought a French BIS subscription card which works fine in a smart slot with cccam 2.0.10 on my DM 7000 using Jade Final except for 2 adult channels which require a pin (8080). I couldn't find a way to enter the pin or to change/clear/reset the pin to 0000 to be able to open these channels. I don't have access to another receiver with a built in Viaccess CAM to be able to change the pin.
On another board someone suggested using a Viaccess CI module. I have tried 2 viaccess modules without success. Blue button - hardware settings - Common Interface. The software sees the module but it does not respond to an INIT. After a RESET the module is recognised but when I try to open it to see the settings etc the software just returns a please wait until Esc is pressed.
Is this a hardware fault on my DM 7000 or are there any issues with Jade and the CI slot or is there a setting somewhere that needs to be changed/reset?

You better not use a Common Interface in your 7000.
You can add the pin into the CCcam.cfg, look in /etc, there you can find it:

# set card pin
# * please be very careful with this option as you could lock your card *
#
# PIN: <device> <pin>
#
#example
#
#PIN: /dev/sci0 1234

I tried adding the PIN to the cccam config file that but it did not work.

I have had several subscription cards over the years which have all worked well in smart slots with appropriate software CAMSs but what I have read elsewhere the only way to solve this is either via another box with with a hardware CAM or to use a hardware CI Module on the Dreambox.

Should the CI module work in the DM7000 with PLI Jade?

[willowman]

It is not a PLi issue. I tried a Gemini image with exactly the same results.
It must be a problem with with my DM 7000.

I can't find much on any of the boards about CI modules - I suppose the smart slots normally handle everything

[hemertje]

don't suppose...

I never had any luck with a PIN code in cccam.cfg either - so I dont think it is unique to your 7000

[willowman]

It looks like the CI module issue is a hardware problem. If I remove the CI module and then try and open it the behaviour is identical.

I think I am going to leave that well alone unless someone can suggest any software checks/settings that I can make.

Hopefully I will buy a DM8000 in the spring which with 3 CI slots should solve this.

What I am not sure of what this means. Does this PIN setting supply a code when the card is read (which is what I initially assumed) or does it change it physically on the card?

Can the smart slots write as well as read?

[pieterg]

they can write, but you have to enter the current pin.
I don't think changing the pin is supported, you'll need someone with an original box to do that for you.
