To connect your receiver to a card sharing server, you must have a piece of software to make that connection and then use the recieved information to descramble a channel. In this post I will discuss ccam asan emulator.
ccam is an emulator which was initally built for the ccam protocol but then later was updated so that the software can connect to a range of servers protocols.
On a dreambox 500s the process to install is simple just go into the menu > Setup > Software > Install Software > Softcams > Ccam [any version]
Once installed you have to enter the server information. The process is done via ftp on a dreambox. So you will need a ftp client such as filezilla.
Obtain the IP address of the dreambox which should be connected to the local network. The username and password for the ftp connection will be:
Username: Root
Password: dreambox
Once connected find the directory /var/etc/
This is where you will put the ccam.cfg file. In the file you will need to enter a line such as
C: [server address] [server port] [username] [password]
The is an example of a C Line which connected to a ccam server. If you wanted to connect to a newcamd server the line would be like this:
N: [server address] [server port] [username] [password] [DES Key]
Different protocol have different ports so you need to check these. Once you produce the file, copy it accross FTP to the receiver, then restart the unit. Once restarted providing the internet connection on the receiver is working and the details are right, it should begin to descramble channels.
