My System: Dream box 7020 Windows XP 80 cm Fixd satellite dish BTvoyager 2110 configure with dhcp |
HI, can anyone help me connect to the advance feature of my dreambox 7020? I tried to use a null modem cable and a crossover cable, I also configure my laptop IP to 192.168.1.5 and the dreambox to 192.168.5.2. Running window XP, I use Hyperterminal 115200/8/n. Still can't receive any info from the dreambox, also can't input from my keyboard. | ||

Blog Entries: 1 My System: DM7020S ~ DM500s ~ sg2100 ~ Gemini  If he were not a wizard, from head down to the root, you would have got to worry-your DB only boots | Welcome to the forum  Have you had a good read of the Idiot's Guide? A null modem is only used to flash a new image. If you connect the Dreambox directly to a PC use a crossover cable; use a normal CAT5 cable if connecting it to a router.
Can you ping the Dreambox? Can you provide all the details in your Communication Setup page? | |||

Are you connected to the Dreambox using a crossover cable? Use a crossover cable and a web browser on your laptop. Or set it up using your Dreambox remote control and a TV, which is the easiest way. What are you trying to do? | ||

Blog Entries: 1 My System: DM7020S ~ DM500s ~ sg2100 ~ Gemini If he were not a wizard, from head down to the root, you would have got to worry-your DB only boots | The quickest way is: Connect the Dreambox to your TV and use your remote to set it up. Connect the Dreambox to a router using a CAT5 cable. Re-read the Idiot's Guide and use search in the Dreambox forum. What image are you using? And if you want us to help you please answer the questions asked in post #4. | ||

What is it you are trying to do when you say you want to connect to its 'Advanced 'Features'? | |||

Connect it up with a null modem cable and use DreamUP to flash it with a copy of Gemini or another image. Read the Idiot's Guide. Setup Communication page of the Dreambox. Use a LAN cable to connect the Dreambox to a router. I have no idea why you are using Hyperterminal and you will not be able to flash it this way - read the Idiot's Guide, it's there to help people. | ||
