Oscam on WNR3500L
This is is a step-by-step guide on how to install Oscam on your Netgear WNR3500L router with an omnikey card. This guide should also work on other routers that are built on openwrt (dd-wrt, tomato etc.).
This guide will (hopefully) be easy to understand, even for those of you that havent used Linux before. I assume you know general things like how to create a new file or change dir.
Preparations
First, install your router with a firmware based on openwrt. Personally i like tomato over dd-wrt, here is a guide on how to install tomato on the wnr3500l router. Currently im using tomato-K26USB-1.28.9050MIPSR2-beta20-vpn3.6 on my router.
You should get a usb-hub since you're going to install some software on the router. You'll also need a memory stick and a cardreader too. A good quality hub should work fine (d-link and such).
Enable ssh access in the web interface (administration -> access restrictions). If you're on Linux, open a terminal and ssh to the box. If not use a terminal emulator like putty. Default user\pw is root\admin.
Now you need a optware package, I'm using Valerakvb optware package, to install it ether become a member there or read the instructions below:
|
||||
Just follow the on screen instructions and wait a few minutes.
Now the http port for your router should have changed to 8080, you dont have to do anything there for the time being.
Install dependencies
Oscam depends on a few packages, thE_29 has been so kind to make ipkg packages of all dependencies we need Binaries Asus WL500gP OlegFirmware (mipsel)
Install pcsc-lite and ccid
Copy the links from the thread above and download them with wget:
|
||||
Unpack the files with tar:
|
||||
Install the ipkg files with ipkg:
|
||||
Install newer version of libusb
Since the newer versions of oscam require libusb after version 1: libusb-1.0.8.tar.bz2. We need to download the source and compile it on the router. Since tar that comes with the optware doesnt work that well you need to unpack the files and scp them over to the router. Before you can compile anything you need a few compilers. You should get all you need from the package "buildroot":
|
||||
You have to remove libiconv since it is included in buildroot, installing buildroot takes some time (5min). This is normal.
Now enter the libusb-1.0.8 dir and run these comands:
|
||||
Since you've transferred the files with scp all permissions have been removed... Since some files need to be executed, you need to set execute permissions on them in order for it to work.
OSCAM
Get the latest package from the_29:
|
||||
Or cross compile one yourself.
Folder structure, config and init script
I like having my own folders on the router for cardsharing so i make a new folder in /opt that i call "cs":
|
||||
Make a few config files:
oscam.conf
| quote: |
[global] serverip = 192.168.1.1 logfile = /opt/cs/oscam/log/oscam.log disablelog = 1 disableuserfile = 0 usrfileflag = 0 clienttimeout = 5000 fallbacktimeout = 2500 clientmaxidle = 120 bindwait = 120 netprio = 0 clientdyndns = 0 resolvedelay = 30 unlockparental = 0 nice = 99 serialreadertimeout = 1500 maxlogsize = 10 waitforcards = 0 preferlocalcards = 1 saveinithistory = 1 readerrestartseconds = 5 readerautoloadbalance = 1 readerautoloadbalance_save = 0 [webif] httpport = 49200 httpuser = oscam httppwd = password httprefresh = 5 httpallowed = 192.168.0.0-192.168.255.255 |

Save them all in /opt/cs/oscam/conf/
Since we are going to use a init script we need to move the oscam binary from /opt/bin/ to /opt/cs/oscam/bin/:
|
||||
Create a new init file in /opt/bin/:
oscam
| quote: |
#!/bin/sh #Scriptfile for starting and stopping oscam #Scriptwriting done by CC_Share #For support and more info visit http://www.eurocardsharing.com #Setting variables CAMNAME="Oscam Server" CAMDIR="/opt/cs/oscam/bin" CONFDIR="/opt/cs/oscam/conf" LOGDIR="/opt/cs/oscam/log" CAM="oscam" # end # Checking for pid file existance if [ ! -f $CAMDIR/oscam.pid ] then echo "No pidfile exists, Creating PID for oscam" else rm $CAMDIR/oscam.pid echo "Pidfile allready found, Removing old pidfile" fi pidof $CAM > $CAMDIR/oscam.pid PID=$(exec cat $CAMDIR/oscam.pid) # This method starts oscam start_cam () { $CAMDIR/$CAM -b -c $CONFDIR & sleep 5 } # This method stops oscam stop_cam () { kill -9 $PID sleep 5 } case "$1" in start) echo "[SCRIPT] $1: $CAMNAME" ##Check if cam is runing if ps | grep -v grep | grep -v start | grep $CAM > /dev/null then echo "$CAM runing, stop it first!" else start_cam fi ;; stop) echo "[SCRIPT] $1: $CAMNAME" stop_cam ;; restart) echo "Restarting $CAMNAME" stop_cam start_cam ;; *) "$0" stop exit 1 ;; esac exit 0 |
Chmod it so you can execute it:
|
||||
Now you should be able to start, restart and stop oscam easily from the terminal:
|
||||
Oscam restart "bug"
For some reason, i cant use the "restart" option, i have to stop and start it manually. Therefore i made a small script:
| quote: |
#!/bin/sh /opt/bin/oscam stop sleep 5 /opt/bin/oscam start exit 0 |
I call this file "start.sh" and save it in /opt/bin/. Remember to chmod it:
|
||||
When you want to restart oscam, just wrote "start.sh" and it should restart.
A cool feature you can use this too, is using the button on the front to call these commands. Go to "administration/Button\LED" and set "for 0-2 sec" to "run custom script". And write the script above.
Automatic startup
I assume you want the best uptime you can get, so I assume you would like having oscam starting up on each boot. The easiest way to do this is by using the web interface for the router and adding it to the init file (administration -> scripts). Add this at the end of the file:
|
||||
For some reason oscam doesn't work if you start it before some other service, thats why I use "sleep 60".
Port forward
If you want to get acces to oscam from the outside you need to open the ports in the firewal.
Go to Administration -> Scripts and choose Firewall and add the line:
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport [port] -d [routers ip] -j ACCEPT
Change the [port] and [routers ip] to whatever the port and ip for your router is.
You would have to add the port forward as usual too in the "Port forwarding" tab.
Last words
What you do now is up to you, the configs would need changing to meet your needs (what card you have, ident etc.) and you have to setup users and choose what kind of server you're going to use (oscam supports cccam, newcamd+++). See the documentation or use the web interface (port 4200, oscam\password) to add users and configure.
Thanks to the_29 for ipkg packages and CC_Share for init script
