Thread: Using Smargo SmartReader Plus (Dreambox)

Using Smargo SmartReader Plus USB smart card reader

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

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.

================================================== =

Using Smargo with Newcs

Please note that newcs 1.62 (and older) could handle this device only as a Phoenix interface. This means that the frequencies are fixed at the default value and no overclocking are possible.
Newcs 1.62 has already implemented the type function
<type>smartreader</type>
but is not operational yet. Newcs team are waiting for some code lines from Smargo developers.

You can use instead
<type>phoenix</type>
but as I write above, the frequency will remain at the default value.

================================================== ===

Gemini and gbox
first you must go to /var/tuxbox/config/ and edit the newcs.xml
add this lines under the lines for the lower and upper device

<device>
<name>phoenix</name>
<type>phoenix</type>
<node>/dev/tts/0</node>
<mhz>600</mhz>
<parity>even</parity>
<export>yes</export>
<enabled>yes</enabled>
<blocksa>no</blocksa>
<blockua>no</blockua>
<blockga>no</blockga>
<boxid></boxid>
<PTShandshake>no</PTShandshake>
<Seca-PPV>no</Seca-PPV>
<crypto-special>no</crypto-special>
<carddetect>yes</carddetect>
<newcamd_port>34002</newcamd_port>
<autosid>yes</autosid>
<priority>round</priority>
</device>

don´t forget to remove # Enable serial debug
you need also to add this line to the gbox_cfg
F: { 43 } /dev/tts/0
in this example is 600mhz, if you use 3,5mhz you must change of course

================================================== ======

Image Pli - try
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 Smartreaderplus Drivers 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.


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


To add a usb hub to the DM7000. 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
