Each CAM Module has its own menu structure defined by its manufacturer to access module information, e.g.
subscription status and to insert configuration data, e.g. a new PIN Code, maturity rate, and a key to descramble a
service.
The CAM Interface feature allows operators to access and interact with these menus easily via the web GUI.
By clicking on
Open
under the CAM Interface column
,
a pop-up box appears over the
CAM Configuration
page. This is the CAM Interface dialog.

Based on the figure below, the standard CAM Interface provides two buttons at the bottom and a list of
clickable menu options.
•
The
Back/Exit
button returns to the previous menu
•
If the
Back/Exit
button is pressed on a top-level menu, the same menu screen will be displayed
•
The
Close
button stops interaction with the CAM Module, closes the CAM Interface dialog, and
displays the CAM Configuration page
It is possible that the dialog above varies depending on the CAM manufacturer. Menus that do not allow user
interaction are called Lists. Since Lists are bottom-level menu items, possible operations are either to go back
to the previous menu or close the CAM Interface.
Another type of dialog is the Enquiry dialog (see below). This dialog is displayed when the CAM Module requires
user input such as a PIN code. The CAM defines the maximum length of the input data and whether actual
characters are displayed as the user types.
