1. Install image.

Download a USB image file, eg Blackhole Image from :-

https://www.satpimps.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=645

or

https://www.satpimps.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?685-Vu-Uno-Black-Hole-Image

When you download a new USB image file you may find the folder names in the ZIP/RAR archive are incorrectly labeled.

So what you need to do is make a folder on your USB Pen drive called vuplus

Then inside the vuplus folder you make another folder called uno

So now you should have a folder in on your PEN drive root like this

vuplus/uno

Copy the 3 Image filenames below from the ZIP/RAR achive to the vuplus/uno folder on your PEN Drive.

boot_cfe_auto.jffs2
kernel_cfe_auto.bin
root_cfe_auto.jffs2

Power Off Uno
Insert USB Pen Drive in the front USB socket.
Power on Uno

The display window will show "press ch-" on the receiver to start flash.
Press the ch- button on the front of the receiver within 10 seconds or else the receiver will boot as normal.

Wait until display window displays "Remove USB Stick" then remove stick and power off and on to reboot the receiver.

2. Network

Connect an Ethernet LAN cable from your router to your Vu+ Ethernet port.

Press Menu

Select Set Up Press OK

Select System Press OK

Select Network Press OK

Select Network Wizard and press OK.

First get your longitude & latitude info from _http://www.satsig.net/maps/lat-long-finder.htm

Configure Tuner for Motorised Dish using USALS.
Use the < > buttons on remote to select Simple.
Use the down button to select mode and use the < > buttons to set to Positioner.

How to setup Vu+ with VBox II DiSEqC 1.2 Positioner.

If your VBox II already has the satellite positions stored and your changing from an old receiver to Vu+ then follow this procedure.

Write down your VBox II satellite position numbers. These are the numbers displayed on the front of the VBox II when moving to a

specific satellite position. These position numbers can also be found in your old receivers motor setup menu.

Example lets say...

Position 1 on VBox II = Astra 19e

Position 2 on VBox II = Eutelsat W2 16e

Position 3 on VBox II = Hotbird 13e

You get the idea...

First send the dish to Astra 19e using Vbox II.

On Vu+ Remote Press Menu

Select Setup Press OK

Select Service Searching Press OK

Select Tuner configuration Press OK

Select Tuner A Press OK

Now set Configuration Mode to Advanced. Use Left or Right keys on remote to select.

Configuration Mode: Advanced

Satellite: Astra 19e

LNB: 1

DiSEqC mode: 1.2

Scroll down to botton of the page with the down arrow on remote.

Use USALS for this sat: No

Stored position: 001

Press OK to store.

OK that's Astra 19e setup now to setup Eutelsat W2 16e

Now send the dish to Eutelsat 16E using Vbox II.

Select Setup Press OK

Select Service Searching Press OK

Select Tuner configuration Press OK

Select Tuner A Press OK

Configuration Mode: Advanced

Satellite: Eutelsat W2 16e

LNB: 2

DiSEqC mode: 1.2

Scroll down to botton of the page with the down arrow on remote.

Use USALS for this sat: No

Stored position: 002

Press OK to store.

OK that's Eutelsat W2 16e setup now to setup Hotbird 13e

Now send dish to Hotbird using Vbox II

Select Setup Press OK

Select Service Searching Press OK

Select Tuner configuration Press OK

Select Tuner A Press OK

Configuration Mode: Advanced

Satellite: Hotbird 13e

LNB: 3

DiSEqC mode: 1.2

Scroll down to botton of the page with the down arrow on remote.

Use USALS for this sat: No

Stored position: 003

Press OK to store.

You get the idea, now repeat for the rest of the satellites and your done.

This is enough to get you started, the fun starts learning the rest.

Lee.

Anybody with a windows pc or laptop can use this tool to determine the box was actually on the network -

Advanced IP Scanner.

See it in action and/or download from here:::
http://www.advanced-ip-scanner.com/index.php

It's free for home use and it's quite a handy little tool.
With just one button to click it becomes an extremely user friendly tool.
A right click on an entry in the results pane opens up a list of options and tools such as ping, tracenet, telnet and ssh.

It just takes a couple of seconds to scan a network and gives you the
STATUS, NAME, IP, MANUFACTURER - and- MAC address of everything on your network in the results pane.

Armed with this information it just is not possible to enter the wrong IP address in any software -
either in the VuCC by Lee or in any ftp program such as filezilla without using the VuCC.

thanks go to teduk for telling this forum about it
