SFX SERIES USER’S GUIDE
Rev 2.2 112
Irdeto Decryption Option
If you have the Cyphercast or Softcell Option installed and enabled in your SFX----R series receiver, then this Appendix
applies. The SFX----R series receiver can support Irdeto Cyphercast, and Gigacrypt encryption systems. This
appendix describes the procedure for inserting an Irdeto Smart Card (SC), and the related Web GUI operation. It does
not apply to DVB-CAS systems.
Pre-installation Procedure
Prior to inserting a SC into the slot on the rear panel of your receiver; please take note of the following precautions:
• Do not bend or twist the card.
• Keep the card out of direct sunlight or other heat sources.
• Do not remove/insert the card repeatedly into the slot.
• Clean the card only with a soft dry tissue. Do not use liquids or detergents to clean the card.
• Record the card number for future reference in case the card is damaged or lost. If the card is damaged or
lost, contact your service provider for a replacement.
• Use caution when inserting the SC. The size of the slot opening is quite small. Ensure that the SC has been
aligned correctly with the connector inside the receiver.
Inserting the Irdeto Smart Card
There is one slot on the rear panel of a SFX----R series receiver that provides a location to insert an Irdeto Smart Card.
This slot is located underneath the PCI card slot on the right hand side of the rear panel and is covered by a small
metal plate mounted with two screws. To access this opening, you must remove this small plate, by unscrewing the 2
Philips type screws.
You can insert the Smart Card as shown Figure B- 1 and Figure B- 2. Note orientation of card (gold contacts are on
the bottom, closest to the chassis). Please use all necessary precautions as outlined above. Once completed, secure
the small plate back onto the unit with the two Philips screws.
