On the 4010 in a pure ntl area I'd usually pull the red jump and then put it on stream where it will automatically set the netid and frequency and complete any software updates it may require ....... you can then also reset the pin number from the em.

No ... remove it and leave it out for a couple of minutes and then replace it ...... This will restore to box to its virgin state. You can then put the box on stream and allow it to update .......

further info on 4010 prob,,,

Yes..thanks..thats what i have ben doing.....but on entering my freq...i should then press a button called "Services"...and i when i do this nothing happens..i was expecting the box to auto shut down for a second..then auto start up..and do a scan for the net id..which it should set automatically..but when i press "Services"..nothing happens/.....
I have removed red jumper and silver battery to restart this process a few times now....... but nothing..any idea of what to try next..surely there must be way round this that m failing to see..probabrly something very simple....any help greatly appreciated..thanks mate....Billyie

You shouldn't need to set the frequency or even go into the engineers menu - just plug the box in, leave it for ten minutes and it should autoconfigure (provided you really are in a pure ntl area)

 

[Billyie]

never heard of that....

Ok Mate....but dont know how you would come to that conclusion.... if it worked for you like that..good..but afraid not here..... definately by the rule you need to put in the freq..press "services"buton and it will then update ..and find Net ID....never heard of it doing it any other way...... maybe a forced update..but def not by just turning on....infact this box did get some time just left on.. cos i got called away.....it was flashing error 12 when i came back,,,..which i believe is related to not finding network...hence net id......but if you have any other help..please let me know.....Thanks Billyie

When you press the services button hold it until the writing at the bottom of the em dissapears, then the new frequency is stored.
