((hot)): Oscam Server Config

The oscam.dvbapi file provides fine-grained control over how OSCam handles decryption requests from your receiver. It applies rules on a "first match, first used" basis.

Reader blocks (internal card or external USB reader):

: Specifies which readers this user can access. livingroom_box can only access readers in group 1, while bedroom_box can access groups 1 and 2.

The oscam.server file tells OScam where to look for decryption keys. You can configure physical USB readers (like Smargo or Easymouse) or remote network streams. Example: Physical USB Reader (Easymouse 2)

[reader] ... cacheex = 1 cacheex_maxhop = 2 cacheex_mode = 1 livingroom_box can only access readers in group 1,

To share your cards, you must activate a network protocol. The most common and secure protocols are and Newcamd .

: The user account file. It manages permissions, account access, and restrictions for connected clients. 2. Configuring the Core Settings: oscam.conf

The oscam.conf file is divided into sections. The most critical sections are [global] , [webif] , and your chosen client protocol section, such as [cccam] or [newcamd] . Here is a standard, secure template for oscam.conf :

: A vital organizational tool. Every reader must belong to a group (e.g., 1, 2, 3). Users are granted access based on these group numbers.
