: Controls how Entitlement Management Messages (EMMs) are cached and written to the card to keep it updated. The value 1,3,2,0 logs updates, writes them 3 times, and filters unique EMMs. 3. Creating Accounts: oscam.user
This allows your reader to serve cached ECMs from other clients, drastically lowering the number of actual card accesses. oscam server config

| Problem | Common Cause | Solution | | --------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | - Incorrect reader configuration - Wrong CAID/protocol | - Double-check the device , caid , and ident in the [reader] section. | | Port not open / timeout | - Firewall blocking the port - Wrong port in the config | - Open the port in the server's firewall - Verify the port in the user/reader settings. | | No matching reader | - User's group does not match reader's group - Wrong CAID | - Ensure the user's group = value matches the reader's group = value. | | Card not updating (AU) | - EMMs not being received or saved | - Set saveemm-u=1 in the [reader] section. - Check the au parameter in the user's account. | | CWs not found | - ECM whitelist too restrictive - High system load | - Relax the ecmwhitelist settings in the reader config - Monitor system resources. | What are you using (Linux/Enigma2, Windows, or Raspberry Pi)
The oscam.server file uses a specific [reader] block for every key source. Below is a standard template for a remote CCcam proxy:
[reader] label = remote_proxy description = Backup Remote Server protocol = cccam device = remotehost.com,12000 user = username password = userpass inactivitytimeout = 30 group = 2 cccversion = 2.3.0 ccckeepalive = 1 Use code with caution. Key Parameter Explanations | | Port not open / timeout |
sudo systemctl enable oscam sudo systemctl start oscam
Most problems with OSCam can be diagnosed using the feature in the Web Interface (port 8888). This log provides real-time information on ECM requests, card reader status, and errors. Here's how to fix the most common problems:

: Enables Auto-Updating. The living room box will send EMM data back to the local_smartcard reader to keep the subscription keys fresh. 3. Protocol Selection: CCcam vs. Newcamd
