GI ST7699: setting up CCcam and OScam sharing in 2026

Setting up sharing on the GI ST7699 receiver may seem like a complex task, especially for those who are just starting. In this article, I will share with you a step-by-step guide on setting up sharing on the GI ST7699 via CCcam and OScam. We will look at how to correctly enter the settings, what errors may occur, and how to troubleshoot them. If you want to understand the gi st7699 sharing setup, you have come to the right place.

What you need to know before setting up sharing on GI ST7699

The GI ST7699 runs on a Linux-like firmware, which makes it quite flexible for configuring various emulators. It is important to understand that there are several protocols for card sharing. CCcam is a simpler protocol to set up, which works by default on port 12000. OScam, on the other hand, offers more flexible options and is better suited for working with multiple readers.

Hardware base and firmware of the receiver

First, make sure that you have the latest firmware installed for the GI ST7699. Sometimes older versions of the software may not support all functionalities, including working with emulators. Check for updates on the manufacturer's official website.

CCcam or OScam: what are the differences between the protocols

CCcam is easier to use but limited in functionality. It is well-suited for users with a single line. OScam offers more options for configuration and monitoring, especially if you have multiple readers. If you plan to use multiple cards, OScam is the better choice.

What server data you will need

To set up sharing, you will need the following data: a C-line string containing host, port, username, and password. Make sure you have the latest software and an updated channel list to avoid connection issues.

Setting up sharing via CCcam on GI ST7699

Now let's move on to the practical setup. We'll start by activating CCcam on your receiver.

Installing and activating the CCcam plugin

First, go to the plugins menu on your receiver and activate CCcam. This can usually be done through the "Plugin Management" section. After activating CCcam, proceed to its settings.

Structure of the CCcam.cfg file and its path

The CCcam configuration file is usually located at /var/keys/CCcam.cfg or /var/etc/CCcam.cfg depending on the firmware. You will need to open this file for editing.

Writing the C-line server string

The format of the string to be added to CCcam.cfg looks like this:C: host port username password. Don't forget to specify parameters such asno wu andversion, if required by your provider.

Restarting the emulator and applying settings

After making changes to CCcam.cfg, restart the emulator. This can be done through the receiver menu or by using a command to restart the service. Allow time for the connection and check the line status in the server information section.

Setting up sharing via OScam on GI ST7699

Now let's look at how to set up OScam on your GI ST7699.

Files oscam.conf, oscam.server, oscam.user

The OScam configuration files are usually located in the /etc/tuxbox/config/oscam/ or /var/keys/ directory. You will need three files: oscam.conf, oscam.server, and oscam.user.

Setting up the cccam reader in oscam.server

In the oscam.server file, create a section for the reader with the following parameters:

[reader]

Don't forget to also specify the group so that OScam knows which resource to refer to.

OScam web interface and port 8888

In oscam.conf, enable the web interface on port 8888 to easily monitor the connection status. This can be done by adding the line:

httpport = 8888

Checking the reader status in webif

After setting up, go to the OScam web interface to check the reader status. You will see if the reader is connected (status connected/online) and how many cards the server is providing (ecm/emm).

Checking operation and diagnosing sharing

To understand that everything is working correctly, it is important to know where to look for the connection status.

How to tell if the line is connected

The line status can be checked in the receiver's info panel or in the CCcam and OScam logs. If the line is working, you should see an active connection.

Reading emulator logs

Logs will help you understand what is happening. If you see messages about "rejected" or "no card," this indicates problems with connecting to the server or the absence of the required card.

Checking channel opening speed (ecm time)

Normal channel opening time (ecm time) should be up to 300-600 ms. If the time exceeds 1000 ms, it may indicate problems with the network or server.

Common errors and their solutions

Now let's discuss some common problems that users may encounter.

Line not connecting (offline)

If the line is not connecting, check the accuracy of the entered data: port, password, and protocol version. Make sure your internet provider is not blocking the ports.

Channels not opening with an active line

This may be due to the server lacking the required card for this package. Check for the card's availability and compatibility of encodings.

Periodic freezes and loss of sharing signal

If you periodically lose the signal, the problem may be conflicts between running emulators. It is recommended to keep only one emulator active.

How to choose a reliable sharing server: criteria

When choosing a sharing server, it is important to consider several factors.

Stability of uptime and local cards

Look for servers that offer local cards rather than reshares. This will help avoid freezes and delays.

Return speed (ecm time)

A low ecm time is an important indicator of the server's performance quality. Check that the channel opening speed is satisfactory.

Support for required packages and protections

Make sure the server supports current encoding systems and provides adequate technical support.
