ZGemma 2S and Dreambox Control Centre

Hi, I have just received a ZGemma 2S. I currently use Dreambox Control Centre (DCC.exe) to FTP by line to my DM800se, does anybody know if I can also use DCC.exe to access the ZGemma? both boxes run Enigma 2 so I would think this would be OK.

Am I also correct in thinking that plugins that I currently have on the DM800 (AutoTimer, Cool TV Guide) will also work on the ZGemma.
 
Thanks Phartmaster. I will hopefully get an hour or so to have a quick play with the box tonight, if the plugins work I will post on here in case anybody else is interested.
 
If you use 1 of the back up images in the downloads will save you a lot of time I prefer the Vix hades myself Sucmnsee Vix uses the sky skin and the cross epg works no problem at all
 
your right mate ,i can see why people do up and running in 20 mins ,but isnt it more fun to set your own receiver up to your own preferences,i never use channel lists,auto bouquets ,motor settings any of that i prefer to set up myself been in the hobby over 20 years though
 
Most of the users have never used enigma boxes, So it helps them alot, As you can understand they dont want to brick it after 5 mins
 
ok how do you brick it mate ? a freind giving me a zgemma s to play with tomorrow ,better not brick it ,was going to put latest vix on it im guessing online updateing image ?is it ok to use the live plugins
 
I had a quick play with the box last night and got my line etc working with the original image, I have made a backup and will probably try mtpockets image when I have got a chance. I have had a dm800se for a couple of years so know the basics of enigma 2 but I am by no means an expert!

I have got to say that so far I am very impressed with this box compared to the dm800se.
 
You need to put it into a file called CCcam.cfg and then ftp (I use dreambix control centre) it into usr\keys on your box.
 
I'm having trouble getting my head around entering a line in as well. Really excuse my noob-ness here but I read that you have to put it into a file eg CCcam.cfg where is this file is is on the sat box in settings?? An then fpt it into user\keys...using DCC...am is all this done with just your box and a USB?? I do understand how to flash say sucmnsee image seems straight forward its just geting the line in is what's confusing me...is there a link to a detailed tutorial anywhere..to someone in the know I'm sure this is a stupid question...I have tried searching but its hard when you don't really know what your searching for....
 
install a programme called dreambox control center on your laptop or PC, start it ,you will be in configuration page,now presuming you have a router with everything connected directly from that either wired or wirelessly and not some strange set up, ,it should see your router by default if not press search under the picture of a router then search again it will appear in the list click usually 192.168.0.1 ,click it then do the same for your laptop ,and receiver unless its not DHCP then just enter IP, then press reconnect you should get a green line between all 3 devices,and you will see a green light at bottom of screen for FTP and TELNET,now click the FTP tab on left side of page ,then 2 panes will open on the left will be the files and folders from your receiver ,on the right the files and fiolders from your laptop. ccam .cfg goes in / ect so on the left pane open up ect by clicking ,then on the right browse to your cfg file you have obtained and click the little arrow in middle of 2 panes pointing left obviously as you are moving a file from right pane to left pane ,for mgcamd and N line you need to goto /VAR/KEYS in left pane and your mg.cfg and newcamd.list file move over into there ,restart cam ,maybe hard reset receiver to be safe ,and should work ,sounds a lot more complex than it actually is,some use proper FTP programmes like filezilla for example but ive always found this easier .
