HowTO Mbox

[khalidomar]

All MBox configuration parameters exist in mbox.cfg.

The default path for mbox.cfg is /var/keys/mbox.cfg
Some receivers like Ipbox and Kathrein there is no /var/keys so you must start mbox always with argument indicating the path to mbox.cfg see below


Mandatory Parameters

• D: { 0 }
  //D: { x }
  //x=0 -> disable
  //x=1 -> enable dbox2 cw writing
  //x=2 -> enable STAPI for IPBOX
  //x=3 -> enable STAPI for Kathrein
  
• T: { /tmp/ }
  // T option -> where to store temp files ... (share.info,debug.txt ,etc.)
  // T: { folder_path_to_files, example: T: { /tmp/ } }
  
• K: { /var/keys/ }
  // K option -> where is cwshare.cfg file
  // K: { folder_path_to_files, example: K: { /var/keys/ } }
  
• P: { /tmp/pmt.tmp }
  // P option -> PMT location (Dont used with linux and windows)
  // you must be tuned to channel so image can generate this file
  // { /tmp/pmt.tmp } for resivers and images that create this file <- use this if you can
  // { 1/tmp/camd.socket } for enigma 1
  // { 2/tmp/camd.socket } for enigma 2

Optional Parameters

• M: { 1 }
  // M option -> Mode option
  // M: { x }
  // x=0 -> local mode no NET
  // x=1 -> NET mode
  // default 0
  
• H: { 0 }
  //H option -> C line priority over network cards
  // H: { x }
  // x=0 -> disabled -> newtwork cards has priority over your local cards
  // x=1 -> enabled -> your local cards has priority over network cards
  // default disabled
  
• Z: { 12 } { 127.0.0.1 8000 }
  // Z option -> control sending/writing current informations
  // Z: { xy } { IP port }
  // x=0 -> don't print time stamp (in console screen and in debug file)
  // x=1 -> print time stamp ( .... )
  // y=0 -> no writing/sending informations to debug file/destination IP
  // y=1 -> send informations to destination IP but not in debug file
  // y=2 -> write informations to debug file but don't send to destination IP
  // y=3 -> write/send informations to debug file/destination IP
  // IP port -> destination IP and UDP port where to send informations
  
• Only debug file: Z: { 12 } { 127.0.0.1 8000 }
  only send debug to IP: Z: { 11 } { 127.0.0.1 8000 }
  Both file and IP: Z: { 13 } { 127.0.0.1 8000 }
  
• L: { 1 }
  // L option -> how mbox to menage virtual card(s) with level 0
  // ( only for peer(s) who have and can reshare virtual cards but don't want to use LEVEL 0 card(s) for them self)
  // L: { x }
  // x=0 -> don't load any virtual cards with LEVEL 0, you can't use them for your self
  // x=1 -> load all virtual cards with LEVEL 0 ,you will be using them for your self
  // default 1
  If you run Mbox on a server then you can't use level0 cards so you have to set:
  L: { 0 }

Starting/Stopping Mbox
To start of Mbox you need to know where the mbox.cfg path is. The default path on most boxes is /var/keys/mbox.cfg. Some other receivers like Ipbox and Kathrein don't have /var/keys so Mbox needs to be started via a command line indicating where mbox.cfg can be found:

• Running MBox Without Arguments
  

  [COLOR="Blue"]
  [B]./mbox[/B]
  
  or
  
  [B]./var/bin/mbox[/B][/COLOR]

• Running MBox With Arguments
  

  [COLOR="Blue"]
  [B]./mbox /data/keys/mbox.cfg[/B]
  
  or
  
  [b]./var/bin/mbox  /data/keys/mbox.cfg[/b][/COLOR]

To Stop Mbox you need to create a file called mbox.kill and put it in the temp dir of Mbox (look your settings in mbox.cfg) and then execute:

[B]touch /tmp/mbox.kill[/B]

About cwshare.cfg

If you don't use a bracket and you must set some other options after the bracket then don't leave it empty.
Put a zero in it so Mbox knows it's not used.
Example: C: { 127.0.0.1 15000 dummy dummy 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 } { 0 } { 0 }

When using Mbox and Newcs on the same box/server then Mbox can see those cards as local.
But you must make a connection ( C-line in cwshare.cfg) with IP 127.0.0.1.
Only then you will have these cards as local in your Mbox server.

About D line in cwshare.cfg file
Now you can set what provids boxids you want to reshare with another peer(s)

This is standard D line
D: { IP { port1 port2 { pass { level1 level2 }}}}


This is the new upgraded D line
D: { IP { port1 port2 { pass { level1 level2 }}}}
{ 0000 } { 0 } send filter
{ 0000 } { 0 } receive filter

D: { IP { port1 port2 { pass { level1 level2 }}}}
{ xxyy !!in hex!!!} { provid-boxid-boxid;provid;provid-boxid; ...!!in hex!!!} send filter
{ xxyy !!in hex!!!} { provid-boxid-boxid;provid;provid-boxid; ...!!in hex!!!} receive filter

for both brackets
xx -> 00 disabled
xx -> 01 allow only this cards for provid to be reshared received
xx -> 02 denied only this cards for provid to be reshared received
yy -> how much provids is in next brascet dont caculate boxids

1st example:
D: { IP { port1 port2 { pass { level1 level2 }}}}
{ 0102 } { 0001006A;0001006C-0A0A-0B0B; }
{ 0102 } { 00010080;00010081-0A0A-0B0B; }
{ 0102 } { 0001006A;0001006C-0A0A-0B0B; }

xx is 01 ,ALL cards for (0001006A) provid is SENT to peer AND cards with boxid 0A0A,0B0B for provid 0001006C, ALL others provids(cards) will NOT be sent!!

yy is 02 ,there is only 2 provids in next bracket dont caculate boxids

{ 0102 } { 00010080;00010081-0A0A-0B0B; }
xx is 01 ,ALL cards for (00010080) provid is RECEIVED from peer AND cards with boxid 0A0A,0B0B for provid 00010081, ALL others provids will be IGNORED!!

yy is 02 ,there is only 2 provids in next bracket dont caculate boxids

2nd example:
D: { IP { port1 port2 { pass { level1 level2 }}}}
{ 0202 } { 0001006A;0001006C-0A0A-0B0B; }
{ 0202 } { 00010080;00010081-0A0A-0B0B; }
{ 0202 } { 0001006A;0001006C-0A0A-0B0B; }
xx is 02 ,ALL cards for this (0001006A) provid is NOT sent to peer AND cards with boxid 0A0A,0B0B for provid 0001006C, ALL others provids(cards) are !!
yy is 02 ,there is only 2 provids in next bracket dont caculate boxids

{ 0202 } { 00010080;00010081-0A0A-0B0B; }
xx is 02 ,ALL cards for (00010080) provid is NOT RECEIVED from peer AND cards with boxid 0A0A,0B0B for provid 00010081, all others provids will be received!!
yy is 02 ,there is only 2 provids in next bracket dont caculate boxids

NOTICE: MBOX WILL NOT COMPLAIN IF YOU USE OLD D LINE STYLE!

Connecting to newcamd server program Newcs
example:
C: { server_ip server_listening_port username password des_key } { x } { ***xyyyy***yyyy;......}
C: { 127.0.0.1 15000 dummy dummy 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 } { 10 } { 0100006a:0100006B;}

[second bracket] -> { x } max. number ecms in buffer ,decimal !!!!!

[third bracket] { 0100006a:0100006B;} is used if you want to change caidprovid from what newcs detected to caidprovid to use with gboxx protocol so 0100006A will be 0100006B in gboxx protocol

Resending ECM(s) on timeout interval
O: { ***x yyyy }

example:
O: { 4000 2000 }

4000 (4 seconds)-> resend current ecm on boxid if no dcw
2000 (2 seconds)-> wait 2 more seconds for dcw ,if no dcw on time resend ecm(s) to all boxid's

NDS system ->Resending ECM(s) on timeout interval
N: { ***x yyyy }

example:
N: { 400 200 }

default disabled...

Add more cards for CaidProvid
X+: { ***xyyyy:zz;***xyyyy:zz; } // zz -> max. is 30 !!!!!

example:
X+: { 0100006A:15; }

With X+ active, for caidprovid:0100006A max. cards for use is 15.

[y]About the 12000.list or the port.list:[/u]
Now you must make file called "port.list" in K: path (look your settings in mbox.cfg)

"Port" is newcs listening port,so if newcs is listening on port 12000 ,file will be called 12000.list.

Pls use SID pids , CHIDs for Irdeto or G line, because now mbox send only one ECM and wait response from newcs before it send new ECM.

//this is for forbiden SID pids or Irdeto chids ..
//example
SF: { 04A0 } -> forbiden SID pid -> your card cant decrypt this channel
SF: { 0220 }
IF: { 0203 } -> forbiden Irdeto ChID -> your card cant decrypt this ChID
IF: { 0302 }
G: { 0100006A } -> dont list and reshare this provid from your card if card cant decrypt that, mbox will just flood newcs with bad ECMs for this provid.

//max forbiden SID pids or ChIDs is 150.
//max G lines is 15.

//OR to enable SID pids or Irdeto chids
//example
SA: { 04A0 } -> enable SID pid -> your card can decrypt this channel
SA: { 0220 }
IA: { 0203 } -> enable Irdeto ChID -> your card can decrypt this ChID
IA: { 0302 }
G: { 0100006A } -> dont list and reshare this provid from your card if card cant decrypt that, mbox will just flood newcs with bad ECMs for this provid.

NOTE: YOU CANT MIX FORBIDEN AND ENABLED PIDS.

About the add.data file:

You don't need the add.data fiel to run Mbox!!!

The add.data file gives you the option to:

• change I,X,O,N line
• to delete running D line
• to add new D line(without filter rules)
• to resend "R" hello msg to all peers while mbox is running.

Write new values in "add.data" file and put it in folder from P: line. (look your settings in mbox.cfg)

NOTE: Max time to wait before changes take affect is 2 minutes, new values for I,X,O,N will NOT be saved in cwshare.cfg but new D or C line will be saved.
"add.data" file will be deleted after reading (read add.data.example) !

#D: { ip { port1 port2 { pass { level1 level 2 }}}} -> remove running D line
D: { ip { port1 port2 { pass { level1 level 2 }}}} -> add new D line without restarting mbox,new D line will be saved in cwshare.cfg
R ->Resend hello msg to all peers
X: { x } -> Change running X value
I: { x } -> Change running I value
O: { ***x yyyy } -> Change running timeout intervals
N: { ***x yyyy } -> Change running timeout intervals for NDS system
C: { server_ip server_listening_port username password des_key } { x } { ***xyyyy***yyyy;......} -> add new C line
