MPCS is a linux card sharing client application which can be used, for example, when connecting to a pay server which does not allow the use of WSP. I am posting this how-to based on my own (limited) experience with using it, in case anyone else needs to set it up on their system.
I am using a TM 6900HD with the latest 670p firmware, and have a null-modem cable attached to the RS232 port of the unit, which is connected to the serial (COM) port on my laptop.
The windows version of MPCS is attached to this post, and although I have a linux box I could have tested it on, my laptop (which I use to connect to the receiver) is a winxp box, so this is what I have used.
1. Download and unpack MPCS.
Simply dl the application and unpack into a folder you wish to run the app from.
2. Connect the receiver to the laptop via the null modem cable.
3. There are three files in the MPCS installation which you need to edit, and they should be configured as follows:
mpcd.conf
You can set the output log to display in the command window (stdout) or direct to a log file as required, the hash symbol is used to comment out the unwanted setting
mpcs.user
mpcs.server
For each package ident, you will need a separate [reader] section in the file. The format is:
4. Test the IP of the server using ping command, will tell you if the server is live. You can use h__p://network-tools.com/ if you find it easier to use
5. On the installation/option menu on the patched TM6000 series, select SSSP in the first option, and save the setting.
6. Start the MPCS client, it will run in a command (DOS) window by running the mpcs-0.8k-rc13n-i386-pc-cygwin.exe file.
7. If you have configured MPCS correctly you should see something like this:
8. Navigate to a channel in the package, and it should clear
Feel free to flame, correct or add comments, if I find any othere tricks, I'll post them here.
