Please be sure first that you already installed in your dreambox newcs and evocamd. If not, please install them first and carry on reading this tutorial.
Last step before going on. For sure you are wondering why installing two EMUs to have my smart card working. The answer is simple. In order to clear channels on our TV set, we need two components: one “Card Reader” and one “EMUlator”. The former is in charge of comunication between smart card and “softcam”, the latter is in charge to manage those datas and to send them to decoder. Both of them are necessary to read our smart card, should one of the two be missing, channels would be never cleared. Main “Card Readers” are two: “cardserver” and “newcs”. This tutorial will explain how to use newcs.
I did all tests which are described in this tutorial with a Firecrypt smart card which is sold with every dreambox and which is for channel INXTC TV. The procedural is anyway the same for every smart card you decide to use. Once set up is completed, you can use all smart cards if compatible with newcs and evocamd.
Setting up Newcs
lower Sci /dev/sci0 even yes yes no no no no no yes no 34000 yes round upper Sci /dev/sci1 even yes yes no no no no no yes yes 34001 yes round
In this text you can find deskey and name used for your network:
yes 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 newcs
yes 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 newcs
You can find here settings for client access which will be used by evocamd to make our smart card working:
user1 pass1 on lower upper
Finally, if you have not changed anything, very important settings for client are:Port: 34000 (lower) or 34001 (upper)
Deskey: 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14
User: user1
Pass: pass1
Copy “newcs.xml” file to your dreambox path /var/tuxbox/config/
Setting up Evocamd
Copy “newcamd-client.txt” and “camd_cfg” file to your dreambox path /var/keys/
If you followed instructions carefully, you can insert smart card (with gold chip downwards), then you go to firmware menu to run emu ( generaly you access by pressing blue key) select “Evocamd + Newcs” as emu (or a similar name which can change depending on firmware versions), reset emu. Should not it working, please reboot your dreambox and after boot it should be all working.

Setting up Newcs
- First of all you need a good text editor which is compatible with UNIX. A good freeware editor is Notepad++ 3.8.
- Use Notepad++ to open “newcs.xml” file. You are kindly suggested not touch or edit anything at all. I show you how to edit file just you should need to change some setting in the future.
- In this text you can find settings for 2 CAS, “lower” is the lower one and “upper” is the upper one. Since DM500 has only 1 CAS it is considered as “lower”. You will use port 34000 for lower cas and port 34001 for upper cas:

Setting up Evocamd
- Open with Notepad++ “newcamd-client.txt” file you found in the zip archive you downloaded before. If you left all unchanged in newcs settings, you can leave all unchanged also here.
- I don’t think any explaination about shown settings is necessary, all is writtent between ( ) is localhost address, former block is to let smart card work in upper cas, latter block is to let smart card work in lower cas:
- [127.0.0.1] port = 34001 key = 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 username = user1 password = pass1 [127.0.0.1] port = 34000 key = 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 username = user1 password = pass1
Copy “newcamd-client.txt” and “camd_cfg” file to your dreambox path /var/keys/
