Can’t connect to the module
|
The problem is that many people are using a serial cable,
but 5 cables-straight. To connect to the module you have
to get a 9 cables-straight.
Many users of the
magic module think they can use the cable which they use
to program their card. That will not work.
I’ve advised many
people to buy a new cable (a 9-pin serial cable, 9
cables straight). All of them are capable to program the
magic module.
---------------------------------------------------
The module has to be inserted into the receiver or a
laptop, before you can program the magic module. The
module needs the voltage of 5 volts to be programmed.
---------------------------------------------------
Is your module in dreamload
mode? If you already have software on the module than
you need to activate the loader. You can activate the
loader in the menu of your receiver:
1 Go to your menu
2 Choose Common Interface (CI)
3 Choose the Magic Module (Pentacrypt)
4 Choose Activate Loader
5 Choose Yes.
Now your Magic
Module is in dreamload-mode.
Try again.

Tecnibox cam 1 plus
problem |
THE BUG: After you have programmed the module and u switch off the reciver the mm returns spontanley to dreamloader. The same problem return when the reciver has a reset (this appens, for example, when you try to watch a canal but u don't have the right key and the reciver returns to the last canal). THE NOISLY SOLUTION: i have found two solution: Fist solution -after programming when switch on the reciver go to cam menu: it shows dreamload. - insrt programmer module into the MM the light, on programmer, became green, then wait few second - remove magic programmer from MM - the written to cam menu shows, after few seconds, fist no mudule and after PENTA 1.XX - Now the mm works. - exit from the cam menu and join. Second Solution - go to cam menu it shows dreamloader. - press on the telecomand "VT" tast. - on the cam menu you can see, after few second, no module ->PENTA 1.XX -exit from the cam menu and have
fun.....

My new module doesn’t work
|
Before you can use your new module, you have to program
it first. You need an interface card to program the
module (see link programming)
|
Magicloader |
The Magicloader is a program
to transfer software to the Magic Module. You can only
transfer the software with an interface-card. (See link
Software)
|
Pentacrypt -
GammaCrypt - TetraCrypt |
These are software packages which can be installed in
the Magic Module. The latest software is the Pentacrypt.
Before Pentacrypt there was GammaCrypt
and TetraCrypt. This
software can be installed via the Magicloader
and an interface-card.
|
How do I use the interface-card?
|
You have to insert the interface-card into the Magic
Module The connectors of the interface-card needs to be
at the top. (facing the
wizard!).
|
How do I know if the
interface-card is working?
|
If you’ve inserted the module
into the receiver and turned on the receiver than you
will see a green led on the interface-card. If you start
programming the Magic Module you will see the red led.
|
How to place the Smartcard?
|
The connectors (chip) of the
smartcard should be at the top. (facing
the wizard!).
|
In which CI-slot do I have
to use the Magic Module?
|
It’s advised to place the Magic
Module into the second CI-slot of your receiver.

More versions of the Magic
Module
|
Watch out! There are also
fake modules! They don’t have 2 MB memory, but 1 MB.
So, they are not ready for the future. There are
3
versions of the Magic Module, both with a picture of a
wizard. At the back of the module you can see the
version, only 1.01 and 1.02 are real
and also the 1.03 version with a
3d Hologram
|
Magic Module 1.03 is 1.02.
|
Watch out! Don’t pay more for a
Magic Module 1.03! This version is produced in
Taiwan
and should be sold in
Europe
. It’s the same module as the Magic Module 1.02. The
Magic Module 1.03 is not a fake module
|
Magic Module and a Notebook
|
Some people think they
don’t need an interface-card when they want to program
the Magic Module on a notebook. That’s not correct,
the software can only be transferred to the Magic Module
through an interface-card. The notebook can only supply
the electricity (5 volts) which the module needs to be
programmed.

|
In the future there will be
more tips and tricks. Do you think you know something
which should be in this FAQ, please send me an email and
I will add it. The
more information the better.
