How To Install Omnikey Reader On Dreambox

[B16MCC]

OK guys since writing the tutorial 'How To Setup A Linux PC Card Server' I've been asked a lot if the Omnikey reader was compatible with the Dreambox. Well its seems now it is ! Massive thanks to Jakey !

A pack of drivers / dependency files has surfaced to install the Omnikey to a Mipsel Dreambox. If you don't know a Mipsel dreambox is basically the Enigma2 boxes, DM7025, 800 & 8000. This method is not applicable for the older E1 boxes.
Basically the pack consists of 4 *.ipk installer files which will add the required components to the Dreambox to run the Omnikey USB reader.
Your image will most likely have the ability to install these via your manual install option in the addon panel, however to make sure everything is correct I recommend you install via Telnet and follow this guide below.

FTP the 4 IPK files to your /tmp folder on the dreambox. Then start a telnet session.

1. ipkg install /tmp/libusb_0.1.12-r0_mipsel.ipk

Installing libusb (0.1.12-r0) to root...
Configuring libusb

2. ipkg install /tmp/pcsc-lite_1.5.5-r0_mipsel.ipk

Installing pcsc-lite (1.5.5-r0) to root...
Configuring pcsc-lite
Adding system startup for /etc/init.d/pcscd ...
/etc/rc2.d/S20pcscd -> ../init.d/pcscd
/etc/rc3.d/S20pcscd -> ../init.d/pcscd
Starting PCSC Daemon: pcscd.
/etc/rc4.d/S20pcscd -> ../init.d/pcscd
/etc/rc5.d/S20pcscd -> ../init.d/pcscd
/etc/rc0.d/K20pcscd -> ../init.d/pcscd
/etc/rc1.d/K20pcscd -> ../init.d/pcscd
/etc/rc6.d/K20pcscd -> ../init.d/pcscd

3. ipkg install /tmp/libpcsclite1_1.5.5-r0_mipsel.ipk

Installing libpcsclite1 (1.5.5-r0) to root...
Configuring libpcsclite1

4. ipkg install /tmp/ccid_1.3.11-r0_mipsel.ipk

Installing ccid (1.3.11-r0) to root...
Configuring ccid

So, once all this is in place, connect the USB reader and set it up in NewCS as normal. The reader type is
<type>pcsc</type>

The node address will be simply
<node>0</node>

If you add a second reader it will be
<node>1</node>

I don't want to take my server offline to test this as its the only Omnikey I have at the moment. I have 2 more coming. If you can test before I do then please do post your comments / findings.

 

[andel]

This is great news.... if it works! Unfortunately im in the same boat as you and am awaiting a reader, will post back as soon as i get the chance to test it

Edit:- installed all the drivers exactly as you stated though

 

[B16MCC]

I took delivery of 2 Omnikey 3121 readers this morning. Having installed everything as stated I plugged in the reader.

The dmesg command via telnet reports the following.

hub 1-0:1.0: state 5 ports 2 chg 0000 evt 0002

hub 1-0:1.0: state 5 ports 2 chg 0000 evt 0002

This seems good. Now to setup NewCS and test some cards.

Ok at this point I need to mention something very important !
These readers WILL NOT WORK with the NewCS that you install from your images addon panel. You must use the file named newcs.mips.pcsc

I FTP'd this file to /usr/bin where all the others live, renamed it to newcs_1.67.pcsc and started it via telnet with the following command.

./newcs_1.67.pcsc -C /var/tuxbox/config/newcs.xml

It works a treat. I've tested the old and new sly cards and an old Conax card I had all working great.

 

[andel]

ok i just got back from a weekend away to find my new reader has arrived. gonna set it up tommorow but can you link me please to the newcs.mips.pcsc file i need?

 

[andel]

i got hold of the file and followed your instructions.
if i type dmesg from telnet I dont get anything refering to USB like you do. Its almost as if its not detecting it. Any thoughts?

Update:- if i use the other usb port i get the following.....

but now i cant connect to the web interface any ideas?

 

[B16MCC]

Using a different port shouldn't matter of course, but anyway that looks good now.

Make up your newcs.xml and run it. Don't forget the <type> and <node> settings to suite.

 

[andel]

well i have my newcs reader setup as below but that dosnt explain why i cant connect to the web interface, dos it?

  <readers name="Card Readers">
<device>

<type>pcsc</type>
<node>1</node>
<mhz>357</mhz>
<export>yes</export>

<carddetect>yes</carddetect>

</device>

 

[B16MCC]

andel, that device config looks ok, pretty standard stuff, but you are correct, it has nothing to do with the NewCS web interface setup. You need to check the section of config labeled <httpd>

This is where your web interface is configured.
Also I find a commonly omitted line can stop the web interface working sometimes. Make your newcs.xml start as shown below...

<newCSconfig>
<globals>

<listening-ip>192.168.1.10</listening-ip>
</globals>

Obviously enter the correct IP address of your Dreambox.

Check your <httpd> settings and you should be ok.

 

[woodseaves]

Hi fascinating stuff, just a quickie, what way does the card fit into the omnikey?
I'm struggling but hope to succeed in the end.

after a bit of messing around and asking myself that exact question i realised you put it in upside down compared to your sly box (chip up)

 

[andel]

well after a couple of days messing around and countless reboots I can now access newcs web interface and see my full entitlements I dont fully understand why i couldnt access it before but never mind.
I am only sharing on my local network and was previously using the internal reader and the newcs downloaded from the green panel. I am still using the same newcs.xml (apart from the usb reader part) and the same CCcam.cfg on my DM800 and the same CCcam.cfg that I was using on my DM500...but now i am not getting anything.
When i run CCcam via telnet I see the following

my client was recieving at hops2 as I never worked out how to recieve at hops1.
I have an F:line in my .cfg and a C:line & N:line in my client .cfg

...any ideas?

Also i noticed if i look at the stats in the web console it says its recieving ECM req's but its not got any ECM Resp with 0% hits, i presume this is relevant tome not getting a pic?

 

[B16MCC]

Andel, you need to simplify this to start with. Let me get this straight, are you using a linux pc and a DM800 ? Why do I see references to 0961 and 0963 ? Do you have old and new card in place here ? If so, remove the old card. Take it out of the equation.

If so, the only thing you need in the CCcam.cfg of the DM800 is an N line.
This N line must match the user you have entered in NewCS on your linux server.

1. Stop CCcam on the DM800 by selecting Common Interface.
2. Kill NewCS in the linux server.
3. Now, start NewCS via telnet / terminal on your server. Wait for the output to report 'Ready to Go'
4. If you don't see this message then there's no point moving on to the Dreambox, you have a problem with your NewCS / Reader / Card.
5. If you see this message then start CCcam on your DM800.
6. Back in the terminal / telnet window you should see the message reporting the DM800 has connected.
7. Now, in the Web Interface you can check entitlements, you can check CAID, and you can check if the DM800 is showing connected.

Check all this and report back, please detail as much information as possible.

 

[andel]

Ok...yesterday I had my stupid head on, today Ive got my clever head on so things are fine.
FYI I was getting all my C's F's and N's in a muddle but I'm learning fast!!!!!
I did have a C line which was looking at a server hosting an old blue card, I think i was starting cccam before newcs which was also giving me problems. So many thanks for your help once again as my white card is now running cool as a cucumber!

This should be a sticky because for all the people who are worried about the card overheating this is a great solution for around £7

 

[sblinx]

@B16MCC mate

i've read this thread with some interest. have you only tested with newcs .. do you know if it work with cccam only?
one other question .. do you think it is possible to have both smargo and omnikey inserted in the 8000?

thanks

 

[B16MCC]

The omnikey is a pcsc reader, CCcam doesn't support that. Yes you could have an omnikey in NewCS and a smargo in NewCS or CCcam at the same time.

 

[vampsthevampyre]

Just finished updating to a white card (once again thanks for your great progs and thread assistance), now its time to try and get my omnikey reader working.

Is it possible to do an idiots guide (me being the idiot) as to how to get this installed.

I'm curently running a nabilosat v0.11 image on a 7025 with newcs 1.66 (i think or 1.65) and cccam 2.1.1, installed from the addon menu.

How do I get the new version of newcs on the box and replace the currently running version and what can I do to check that it is functioning correctly

TIA

Ian

 

[B16MCC]

The idiots guide is this thread. Go back to the beginning of it and ready it all 3 times.

 

[marcaaron20]

hi, just bought meself 1 of these Omnikey 3121 readers for my Dreambox 8000, not sure if I needed 1 or not but I thought I may as well get 1 seen as there are only £7.50, no harm in having 1 anyways...

just wondering, is it just for using the white s*y cards or can you use other cards in it too?? if so, which cards and which version of NewCS or CCcam (and any others) also am i able to use both CCcam and NewCS?? CCcam on the internal reader and NewCS on the Omnikey reader??

Thanks,

 

[andel]

if you look on post 3 b16mcc says he has tried it on other cards with no problems, personally i have not tried it but I do not doubt our satellite god's comments!!!
As for using newcs and cccam, always use the latest versions and there is no reason why you cant use them to read another card on the internal reader. Just add another reader in the 'device' section of your newsc.xml. The type is sci, node is dev/sci0 and serve it on a different port.
As for using just cccam on the internal reader, again not something that I have tried but I dont see why it wouldnt work but I'm sure to stand corrected if im wrong.

 

[vampsthevampyre]

B16MCC once again thanks for the advice, although you forgot to tell me to read it slowly. finally on the fourth attempt realised that I'd for got to change the newcs for the newcs.pcsc version, that and forgettin that the newcs web page was 8080 (really stupid mistake), I'd convinced myself that newcs wasnt working and thought that the port was 15001 - doh.

One problem I did have was copying Andel's xml file that mentions <node> 1 </node> this didnt work for me kept saying node in use, changed it to node 0 and it all came to life.

I have another omnikey reader here so I may try running two and see what happens with another node number (if the wife lets me take over the telle again)
