DM7020/cccam.cfg
CCcam configuration sample:
SERIAL READER : /dev/usb/tts/0 smartreader+
SMARTCARD CLOCK FREQUENCY: /dev/usb/tts/0 6860002
SERVER LISTEN PORT : 20000
WEBINFO LISTEN PORT : 21000
WEBINFO USERNAME : username
WEBINFO PASSWORD : password
SHOW TIMING : yes
It is possible to add a usb hub to the DM7020. To incorporate a 4 port hub into the config insert the following:
SERIAL READER : /dev/usb/tts/0 smartreader+
SMARTCARD CLOCK FREQUENCY: /dev/usb/tts/0 6860002
SERIAL READER : /dev/usb/tts/1 smartreader+
SMARTCARD CLOCK FREQUENCY: /dev/usb/tts/1 6860002
SERIAL READER : /dev/usb/tts/2 smartreader+
SMARTCARD CLOCK FREQUENCY: /dev/usb/tts/2 6860002
SERIAL READER : /dev/usb/tts/3 smartreader+
SMARTCARD CLOCK FREQUENCY: /dev/usb/tts/3 6860002
DM800/cccam.cfg
CCcam configuration sample:
SERIAL READER : /dev/ttyUSB0 smartreader+
SMARTCARD CLOCK FREQUENCY: /dev/ttyUSB0 6860002
SERVER LISTEN PORT : 20000
WEBINFO LISTEN PORT : 21000
WEBINFO USERNAME : username
WEBINFO PASSWORD : password
SHOW TIMING : yes
The DM800 comes with 2 USB ports already. However if you wish to add a usb hub you can.
The above cfg's assume that the reader is set to autoswitch mode and dreambox kernel.
You can choose any of the following frequencies: 3.20, 3.43, 3.69, 4.00, 4.36, 4.80, 5.34, 6.00, 6.86, 8.00, 9.61, 12.0 and 16.0
Examples:
SMARTCARD CLOCK FREQUENCY: /dev/usb/tts/0 6000002 runs the card at 6mhz.
SMARTCARD CLOCK FREQUENCY: /dev/usb/tts/0 6860002 runs the card at 6.86mhz.
SMARTCARD CLOCK FREQUENCY: /dev/usb/tts/0 8000002 runs the card at 8mhz.
SMARTCARD CLOCK FREQUENCY: /dev/usb/tts/0 9610002 runs the card at 9.61mhz.
Most cards run at 6000002 or 6860002.
Ofcourse the reader can be used with other images such as Gemini etc. Feel free to experiment :-)
