Some of you will want to connect your spiderbox to another linux box already on your LAN.
This is simple enough to do but will require a few precautions.
First of all, make sure your linux box is running a version of CCcam with a release of 2.1.1 or earlier.
2.1.3 is relatively new, and has some compatibility problems, and 2.1.2 is not recommended in any case as it works badly with keys.
Install CCcam 2.1.1 on your linux box, be it a receiver or a linux computer like ubuntu or debian.
Determine the IP of your Spiderbox; remember it or write it down. Here we will refer to the IP as 192.168.1.50 as an example, it will be different for you. Use the manual setting in IP setup to keep it static.
Determine the IP of your linux box. You will need this IP to be static also, so disable DHCP. Here as an example we will use 192.168.1.100
In your linux box CCcam.cfg file, put in the following line:
F: spiderid spiderpass 3 0 1 { 0:0:1 } { } { } 192.168.1.50
This stops anybody else using this line.
Open a port on your router to your linux box. Most users use the default value for CCcam which is 12000.
Restart CCcam on the linux box.
You are now ready to connect your Spiderbox.
In the Accessories menu, select Network
the third entry down in the first colum is "Server" select "Server Setup" to the right of that field.
You will see a column with "01.Off" to "08.Off"
Select one of those fields.
Select the option CCCAM
Enter the IP of your linux box into the "Name or IP Address" field. Our example above used (192.168.1.100)
Enter 12000 into the "Port" field
ID spiderid
and
Password spiderpass.
Select apply
You should now be connected via CCcam to your linux server. (eagle, or other linux receiver, or linux PC server)
