Cardserver on Linux problem

apmav · #1 (**permalink**) 05-26-2004

I have configured cardserver on linux which works fine with one Irdeto card and phoenix programmer. I am trying to configure a seconde server with second card (on separate pc) but I have tried 3 different phoenix readers with no success. The card will be recognized as irdeto card, (reset) but it will fail to initialise. If I connect the phoenix programmer from the first server it works fine. It seems that it is the only programmer that works. The other 3 work fine if a test them with other software. The difference is that this programmer that works has transistors as rs232 line drivers, while the other 3 have max232 chip. I have a feeling it has something to do with handshake timing/buffers. Is there any timing parameters I can use in cardserver.conf?

Has anyone experienced similar problems?

Hi,

if you're that far , it means u have experince many problmes in creating the server, which makes u in somehow expert!

so can you explain to me how to creat a linux server working with newcamd server to share my cards please?

i just need to start , so tell me what to do plz?
equipments, hardware, softwares?

i know about networking and computer, i can understand very quickly, so dont worry, tell me how to start it and leave the rest to me

thankx
regards,

Check if the other Phoenix is in Smartmouse mode!!!

So do I !
I need to start.
I have made many tries only with radegast server.

I would like to watch two video channels with two DB in a LAN.
What is very interesting for Olympic Games !
The 1rst DB is perfectly working with a C* smartcard. I would like to watch scramble channel on the 2nd one without change the smartcard.

As far as I understood
- 1st DB is running camd and rdgd
* camd unscrambled video with operational Key
* rdgd server read smartcard and provide operational key to camd

- 2nd DB is running camd, rdgd and netpilot
* camd unscrambled video with operational Key
* rdgd server read management key from netpilot and provide operational key to camd
* netpilot manage communication between both rdgd servers throught network

I did read radegast documentation (http://www.dreamsat.ru/radweb/internals.html) several times but I don't know if I am right or wrong !
I didn't see any radegast.cfg example file from the net.
Did anybody setup this configuration ?
Any help is welcome.

No! No keys are read (that's virtually impossible)
The softcam in the server intercepts the communication between smartcard and CAM, detects the CW (the final OK to the box to show a picture) and sends it to the client box

That's all

Thanks a lot for your express answer jpm !
You mean, I misunderstood rdgd and camd roles.
Thank you !

Do you have any radegast.cfg example to provide ?

The max232 is quite power consuming, do u have a extra power adapter connected to it? i think u need that to make it work properly

First of all, thank you jpm !

It doesn't work anymore but a lot of progresses have been done.
I survey the network communication with a protocol analyser. I can see the DB client (192.168.0.15) connecting to the DB server (192.168.0.5). When the conection is established, I can see several [PSH, ACK] paquets from client and several [ACK] answers from server. Unfortunately, the data section in Ethernet frame is unreadable.

I can watch the TV connected to DB server. The TV connected to DB client still stay black.

Here are both configuration files (client first, then server).

Here is my configuration files that worked with an I2 card. I did had some card date update (I think) problems that caused my card to freeze every almost 24H, and I was needed to insert the card to my good old humax to force update and then back to dreambox server.

I was using both on server and on six clients radegast beta 10.
I was switched to newcamd when 5.14 version released.
I believe that newcamd works better in network enviroment but has a bit more difficult configuration.
