How To Setup The Smargo Smartreader+

works on all Dreamboxes mate. except 500 ofcourse, no USB port.
 
This tutorial assumes the user has a DM7020 or a DM800. The tutorial can be used as is, or adapted easily for a standard Linux setup.


How to set smartreader operating mode using Windows

1: Install the windows drivers
2: Open smartreader.exe
3: Plug the smartreader into a usb port
4: Select Autoswitch or fixed mode
5: Select Normal or Dreambox kernel
6: Make sure it returns with "writing settings successful"
7: Done

DM7020 dreambox installation with PLI Iolite/Jade

1: Telnet to your dreambox run "ipkg update"
2: Run "ipkg install kernel-module-ftdi-sio"
3: Exit
4: Rename your original bootup file in /etc/init.d/ incase you have a problem*
5: Replace the bootup file in /etc/init.d/ with this one the bootup file is in the zipfile.
6: Reboot
7: Plug in the smartreader
8: Insert your card. Make sure the chip on the card faces the same direction as the lights on the reader.
9: Done

* The latest PLi Jade Final image appears to already have the usbtoserial configured in the bootup file. So no need to replace the bootup file.


DM800 dreambox installation with PLI Iolite/Jade
1: Enter the download menu
2: Search for USBtoSerial drivers
3: Download
4: Reboot
5: Plug in the smartreader
6: Insert your card. Make sure the chip on the card faces the same direction as the lights on the reader.
7: Done

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 :)
 
smargo reader
ecm time ndz3 0.160 with SMARTCARD CLOCK FREQUENCY: /dev/usb/tts/0 6860002 runs the card at 6.86mhz
with 6mhz ecm 0.174...
there are problems if increase the frequency for having ecm low?
 
do not run it more than 6.86
 
im trying to install this on a tm600 which is an enigma1 based image, on trying to install the drivers via telnet im getting

-sh: ipkg: not found

do i need to install something else first?

cheers for looking
 
You're in the Dreambox section here mate. I couldn't possibly comment on how to install on a TM, I've never even seen one in the flesh, sorry
 
SERIAL READER : /dev/ttyUSB0 smartreader+
SERIAL READER : /dev/ttyUSB1 smartreader+
# SMARTCARD WRITE DELAY : #
SMARTCARD CLOCK FREQUENCY /dev/ttyUSB0 6860002
SMARTCARD CLOCK FREQUENCY /dev/ttyUSB1 6860002

hello all thim is my cfg in dm 800 using gemini 2 4.30
have i got this right as my nds3 skyuk wont work , i have tried other frqs and settings but wont work on smargo.
it is set to dreambox and has 1,3 .
have i done something wrong.
thanks
oscar
 
You have your addressing wrong mate. You config is suitable for a linux pc not a dreambox.

It should read :-

SERIAL READER : /dev/tts/usb/0 smartreader+
SERIAL READER : /dev/tts/usb/1 smartreader+
# SMARTCARD WRITE DELAY : #
SMARTCARD CLOCK FREQUENCY /dev/tts/usb/0 6860000
SMARTCARD CLOCK FREQUENCY /dev/tts/usb/1 6860000

Just read your post again, You can not use CCcam to read a white sly uk card.
You must use NewCS 1.66 or later, and so far I cannot confirm this works with a smargo.
Read the thread entitled, Testing The New White Sly UK Card.
That will show you how its done.

Do you set this Frequency line SMARTCARD CLOCK FREQUENCY: /dev/usb/tts/0 in CCcam.cfg or NewCS to run the new sky white card in the smargo reader?

Also what is the best frequency to set the smargo at to run the new sky white card in smargo?


Also I am using CCcam 2.11 and NewCS 166
 
You cannot run the new white card in a smargo. Read the thread Testing the new white sly card.
 
I just bought three and have a problem.

My box is a dm800 have gemini 4.4 installed

When i connect the smargo, the box gives me the message a usb device is found. But just one of the two will work. And not easy, sometimes when i restart the box i have to unplug the smargo again for a few times untill it finally reads the card and shows up in the entitlements page of 192.168.1.67:16001

i have this in my cccam cfg:

SERIAL READER : /dev/tts/usb/0 smartreader+
SERIAL READER : /dev/tts/usb/1 smartreader+

The smargos are all in dreambox mode and it did work untill i tried another image. I did put the image back and now just one card will work.

Also bought an azelas usb hub, that gets recognised but again no cards are appearing in the entitlements page.

I have four cards Sly nds, canal digital conax, canal digitaal nl seca 3, tv vlaanderen seca 3

Right now when i try the two seca cards in the smargos just one at the time gets read.

Would like to have the conax card in the internal slot and the rest in the smargos (if i can get the hub to work)

Should i buy an omnikey reader? What model of the omnikeys can be used on the dreambox? Omnikey 3021 seems the cheapest. I have read that u have to get an omnikey for the new sly card?

Pls help
 
is possible to run 2 SMARTCARD CLOCK FREQUENCY


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 345000

thanks
 
yes you can, but the speed of your 2nd reader is not enough zeros.

It should be 3450000
 
No I don't sorry. Is gamma still supported ? I thought they were dead.

Is this still true??
sly card works fine in my DM8k (using Cccam), want to move it to the server (Windoze XP) does the smargo work with windoze XP & sly white card?
Looked all over for tutorials!

yes the smargo works fine with the new card in Dreambox and linux.
