3.5 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
services (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 information for authorisation, decoding and subscription.
– Check with the distributor or manufacturer of the CA module to be
used to ensure that it is suitable for decoding several services.
– The hardware and software of this cassette have been thoroughly pre-
pared and tested.
Any changes made by service providers in the data structures might im-
pair 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
1
into the CA module
2
so that the chip
3
on the
smart card faces the thicker side (top) of the CA module.
• Insert the CA module into the guide rails of the CA slot
4
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 CA slot
4
and
contact it to the common interface.
