========CONNECTING TO YOUR PC AND STB=====================
You need a 9 pin 3 wire null modem cable between the STB
and your computer. Best to have 9 pin serial connection on the Computer
side as well. If you are making the cable yourself then ->
Connect 2-3 3-2 5-5. and nothing else.
In other words 3 straight through wires -
then reverse 2 and 3 on one side.
If you absolutely have to use a usb -> 9 pin null modem
BUT make sure you have the software for it and/ or set it up correctly.
WARNING Some USB to 9 pin Null modem cables can be erratic in operation.
Just because they flashed another STB does not mean they will work with
these boxes and clones.
================================================== ======
IF This is NOT a NEW STB Save your Favourites.
The way to do this is as follows.
Menu -> Channel -> Save Channel list and Settings.
Input Password 0000
Do you want to save current etc. Select YES Come out of
menu - Turn off STB.
Now Start the ALIMINIUPG2 software on your PC.
Ensure the STB (Receiver is turned OFF) with the switch at the back.
Wait about Ten seconds. The Red Power Light MUST remain off.
Now Return to the Computer.
Open the ALIMINUPG programme select the most up to date
sw.v1.3.7.mmddyy.bin file.
Select the Com port (The one connected to the Cable on the computer).
USE THE ALI Programme in the zip file.(At least to begin with!).
In the next few seconds Turn the STB ON using the switch at the Back.
This will start the process .
Dont touch anything till it is finished !
Once the transfer is done turn the receiver off for 5-10 seconds
and then turn it back on again.
=========ONCE IT STARTS UP (be PATIENT)=============
From the IRD Select Menu -> Tools -> Factory Default.
The code to enter here is 0000
After the factory reset you then need to rescan the channels for
the satellite(s) selected.
=============================================
From the IRD Select Menu and key in 2020 and set CAS DECODING to on.
HIT THE MENU KEY THEN 2 -> 0 -> 2 -> 0
QUITE SLOWLY AND DELIBERATELY.
If you do it quickly it will not work.
Menu 2020 toggles the CAS on and Off.
Become comfortable doing this - its a bit finnicky.
If you cannot do this then you are stuck with FTA !!!!
Finally Restore FAVOURITES if you saved them!
Menu -> Channel -> arrow -> Restore Channel list and Settings.
Input Password 0000
"The operation will restore the last backup etc. Select YES .
This RESTORES YOUR PREVIOUSLY SAVED CHANNEL LIST
after A FLASH UPGRADE.
========A=U=T=O=R=O=L=L====================== .
Autoroll Toggle ON / OFF
To toggle Autoroll NAGRA2 / TPS On and Off.
Key in Menu ->2 ->1 -> 2 -> 1
Its good practice to turn the autoroll OFF if your keys
are good. Little point in looking for something that is there !
===T=0=====M=A=N=U=A=L=L=Y==A=D=D==K=E=Y=S=====
You can hand key in the Keys from the menu if the CAS is ON.
Key options on the menu are not visible with the CAS turned OFF
Menu -> Tools -> Key Editor.
Select Encryption System
Select Key
Then Enter Values
Using the Remote Keys like a mobile phone.
NAGRA2 Keys go in as 32 Hex characters against
the current Key number either 00 or 01..
DO NOT PUT 16 Characters in Key 00 and 16 Characters
in Key 01 - It's NOT the way to do it .
================================================== ======
The Procedure for BISS or DCW Keys is slightly different.
Got to the channel you wish to decrypt on the normal mode.
The screen will say Scrambled.
Then Press Menu ->Keys Editor - > CDW BISS .
Then enter the BISS or DCW and the Keys as required.
Don't forget to SAVE them!
================================================== ======
The Latest Max S100 Echolink and Clones Updates Flash ( *.bin ) Files can
be found in posts on this site.
===========OTHER USEFUL SOFTWARE =========================
The Original Software for the Max S100 is in
http://www.ftemaximal.com
It has no built in keys. If you screw up you can try flashing
with this firmware - it should get you back to where you started.
ALIEDITOR
You can use Alieditor.exe to read and write to the Receiver.
You can introduce new channels, and hand key in favourites
from scratch.
MaxEditor.exe
It does what Ali Editor does not- You can edit the channels
and favourites with software - easily, and push and pull them
from the STB.
The script.ini file was updated on 14/05/2007.
I have found it much easier to edit the favourites on the STB then
save them as described above.
Do the Flash and then restore them.
ALL_KE.exe
This allows you to import softcam.key files
- It shows up structural errors in the softcam.key files.
Many softcam.key files are not 100% and you may need to
fix them with any basic text editor (i.e. Notepad) before
you compile and upload the data from the PC to the STB.
The software tells you the line number in the text file where
the error is - they are usually easy to spot. It isn't high power
software debugging. If in doubt delete the line. Most of those
keys are antiques and havent worked for months or even years!
If you are only adding one or two keys it is easier to do it with
the remote - using the method described above.
Master Code for the Max S100 is 3327
FINALLY PRESS
Menu -> Tools -> Information.
You should see this.
