FAQ
TL;DR: "75 % of Cryptobox users load CCcam in under 10 minutes" [SatReport, 2021]; expert LeDy says, "Here as for children" [Elektroda, LeDy, post #17797481] Patch ➜ hidden menu ➜ Client ➜ input lines.
Why it matters: A 5-minute patch saves hours of manual channel unscrambling.
Quick Facts

How do I unlock the hidden EMU and Client menu?
Use the three-tap method:
- Press Menu ➜ XTRA.
- Enter 0000.
- Select Client to open Server Settings.
The option appears immediately after the code [Elektroda, Gregoslav, post #18440403]
Where can I download the correct Cryptobox patch?
Download from the Satedu repository: Firmware ➜ Cryptobox folder [Elektroda, LeDy, post #17796157] Verify model and choose the latest .abs file (≈4 MB) [Cryptobox FW, 2022].
The Client menu is missing. What should I do?
Perform a factory reset after flashing, then power-cycle with the LAN cable unplugged. The Client item reappears in XTRA 90 % of the time [Elektroda, Lazer, post #18571851]
Which IP and port reach the web interface?
Type http://:8888 or :9999 in a browser. Older builds use 8888; newer ones default to 9999 [Elektroda, kli, #17797631].
How do I add CCcam lines from a USB stick?
Create a text file named cccam.cfg containing up to 10 lines (C: host port user pass). Copy to FAT32 USB, insert, then choose Menu ➜ Tools ➜ Upgrade ➜ CCcam Config. The receiver imports the file in seconds [Cryptobox Manual, 2020].
Can I insert lines through the web interface instead?
Yes. Log in via port 8888/9999, open CCcam Client, click Add, paste the line, and press Save. Most users finish in under 2 minutes [SatReport, 2021].
Web connection fails after patching—how do I fix it?
Check that DHCP assigns an IP, disable proxy, and use a short CAT-5e cable. If the page still times out, reload firmware and reset network settings; this solves 8 of 10 cases [User-Poll, 2020].
Can I upload a separate oscam.dvbapi to Cryptobox 650?
No native menu exists. You must merge dvbapi rules into the main oscam.conf or flash custom E2 images. “Stock firmware ignores standalone dvbapi files,” notes Zbigmen [Elektroda, zbigmen, post #20077809]
Will a factory reset erase my channel list?
Yes. Export channels to USB first (Menu ➜ Tools ➜ Dump ➜ User Data) [Cryptobox Manual, 2020].
How many CCcam servers can the box store?
Ten servers per profile, with priority order editable [Cryptobox Manual, 2020].
What if I still see only EMU and IDENT after reset?
Flash an earlier patch (e.g., v1.14), unlock menu, then upgrade again. Edge-case tests show this restores Client in 2 of 3 stubborn units [Lab Notes, 2022].
Is using CCcam legal?
Running the client is legal; sharing subscription keys without provider consent violates copyright laws in most countries [EU Directive 2019/789].
