Please be sure first that you already installed in your dreambox newcs and camd3. 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. To be honest, camd3 only would be enough alone to read our smart card, but, trust me, it is much better to use newcs as card reader.
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 camd3.

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:
