CAID's and Clines

[Dan20701]

Hello could someone tell me if Caid's are needed with C lines or are Caid's just needed for cards and keys?

Thanks

Re: CAID's and Clines

You don't need to specify any CAIDs with a c-line but they can be used as a filter if required, e.g.

c: host port username password no {caid:id:downhops}

Have a look at the tutorials in the cccam section for more info.

Satlover c-lines opens any CAID on the same port. So you may specify a CAID if you want this c-line to open only specific packages (for example you have an other EMU for other packages), but it's not a necessary parameter.

filtering by caids, you can use, when you don't want all of the providers,
but just specifiend one. Could get faster zapping, of course with defined
caid prios and ignores too.

Re: CAID's and Clines

About CAID you have 2 possibilities :

• Specify on your Cline :
  #C: <hostname> <port> <username> <password> <wantemus> ( { caid:id(:uphops), caid:id(:uphops), ... } )
  #
  #note: if {} limits are added, <wantemus> cannot be omitted. Use either yes or no.

• Specify on your Prio file
  # in this file you can configure what CAIDs CCcam should prefer or ignore
  # defaults to /var/etc/CCcam.prio
  # file content can have ignores (I) and prio lists (P)
  #
  # note 1: I line affects both for ecm and emm (receive no emm on ignored systems)
  # P line only affects ecm choice (emm still received for all available systems, not just the priority system)
  #
  # note 2: ident 0 means 'all idents'. So 'caid:0' is the same as 'caid'.
  #
  # note 3: for some systems (e.g. nagra (caid 18xx)), the ident is not known at the time the
  # prio lists are checked. In that case, matching is done on caid only, even if the P line
  # defines nonzero idents. So for example '1801:401' behaves the same as '1801' in a P line
  # I lines work differently, they are checked two times, once before ecm or emm is received, again
  # after ecm or emm are received (and nagra ident should be known)
  # P lines are only checked once, before ecm received.
  #
  # note 4: if a P line contains caid:ident pairs which are not available for the current
  # channel, that P line is not used for that channel.
  # Example, channel has systems 626, 1801:401 then P line with "1801,100:96,626" is ignored by that channel,
  # because channel doesn't have 100:96.
  # But P line with "1801" works, and also "626,1801" will work for channel
  #
  # note 5: P lines are parsed in the order in which they are found in the prio file.
  # Only the first matching P line is used

Re: CAID's and Clines

Note: prio file affected ALL lines, this is a general configuration.
Limiting caid in a line affected ONLY that line.

Use prio file is a good idea for general config and if you have more than 1 line that are the same.
Use caid limiting on a single line is useful if you wouldn't receive caids from that line but from all others.

for nlines instead caid is necessary?

Re: CAID's and Clines

You mean as server lines? Or as Newcamdlines for cccam-servers?

In that case also not necessary. The nlines connects to a special provider (via port number).

Perhaps he was thinking about this fact: usually this kind of server uses a different port for every CAID, but this is not necessary.
