3.4 Retrofitting a CA module
The cassette is equipped with a common interface. It allows you to connect
a CA module for various encryption systems and service providers. Encoded
channels can only be decoded with a CA module suitable for the encoding
system and the corresponding smart card. The smart card contains all the infor-
mation for authorisation, decoding and subscription.
Caution
– Check with the distributor or manufacturer of the CA module to be
used to ensure that it is suitable for decoding 2 channels.
– The hardware and software of this cassette have been thoroughly pre-
pared and tested.
– Any changes made by program vendors to the structures in the program
data might impair or even prevent this function.
– When working with the CA module, please read the corresponding op-
erating manual from the respective provider.
• Insert the smart card
into the CA module
so that the chip
on the smart card
faces the thicker side (top) of the CA module.
• Insert the CA module into the slot
3 (s. chap. 3.3) with the top side of the CA
module facing the top side of the cassette.
• Push the CA module without canting into the guide rails of the common inter-
face slot and contact it to the common interface.
• To take out the CA module press the eject button
