What is rlink? I believe what you need is rq-sssp file.

I think it was a "dongle" for the coolsats......

[Terryl]

Yes the CoolSat 5000 needs a dongle, you may have to really look around the internet to see what is available, I think it's called an "R-link".

And no you can't make one. as it interfaces the LAN signals to RS-232 signals, this done with an internal to the dongle chip.

[torpainter]

the dongle is no longer useful As jvvh pointed out he need to run rq-sssp on his computer

[Costactc]

Rlink didn't last very long with the cs receivers and hasn't been around for years.

[Condor]

I dont quite remember, but I dont think Coolsat 5Ks had an Ethernet port Did they???.. So they will need some type of dongle.. I may be wrong...Lol....

[Costactc]

Those cs receivers were being used with the rlink dongle but that only lasted a couple of months as stated previously they will work with an rq-sssp file on his computer. Excellent receivers for true fta but no hd.

[anngreg]

you are right my friends. I do not want to pick a receiver over another but Coolsat and CNX where the best receivers out there. once work, for three months without a problem and good support. It would be nice to see them come back. I like nano too but the only problem is the lack of support. Good support when 1st came out.

[jvvh5897]

"See them come back"? They never left. They were supported till the companies were sued by the provider. Now they are--what, 5 to 8 years old of boxes?--And you still expect support? You can run coolsat with rq-sssp. The cs5k did not have ethernet port, you use a modded-for-rq-sssp type gizmo like xfta or a PC, but neither should be thought of as a "dongle". (my question about r-link was satire).

......And best to get SAT signals... Lol..

The Cnx nano 2 converted to a Ilink , is still running strong, it isnt HD but its still running :yes:

Nice first post. Check #3 and #6>>>http://www.satfix.net/showthread.php?352-Rules

coolsats will run with xx-client and a straight through serial cable. The only problem is there is no caid fix. You have to do the 8282 thing on every channel. Most of my friends switched to Viewsat and a null cable.

[jvvh5897]

I'm sorry, but the source code is available for coolsats and you are having trouble with CAID?---are you bothering to think for yourselves at ALL? I know that is flaming, but really...

[steven charles]

friend with your coolsat 5k you can get true fta channels all you need its a 33 to 39 inch dish and linear lnd,and you can pointed to galaxy 19 at 97.w theres a couple of hundred channels on that sat mostly international channels on kuband on that sat,but you can also get cband depending in your area with a 6 to 12 feet dish....

There is NO caid fix for Coolsats 4000, 5000,and 6000.
If you know of one, by all means.....post it!

[jvvh5897]

I don't do IKS, so I've had no reason to work on it--if you do do IKS then you have a reason to do so. Why don't you work on the problem? I would be glad to help out, but I teach to fish as a rule.

[jvvh5897]

BTW, did you know that the Viewsats are up because hobby coders used the coolsat source code to figure out how to get them up?--that they use coolsat's format for IKS? As I see it, anyone that uses Viewsat for IKS is obligated to pay it back.
On the other hand, since coolsat source code is out there, the owners of the boxes have a BIG leg up on other testers--they should be at the head of the pack as testers, why are they not? The methods to use have been posted over and over--for Viewsat, pansat, sonicview and others. There should be little confusion on what you need to do and how to do it--you just have to read and do a little testing. Dump RAM, disassemble code, make a few mods and you figure it out--not that hard. Rather than spit in the face of those that have been there and done that, use the work and effort as a guide and learn something!

And as a follow up, I don't see that the DN stream has changed. As far as I can tell, it should work just fine. It would send 1816 as the CAID, but if you need something like 1840 then that would be easy to do with CaID remap feature of the client. I can't see the northern prov, but I would guess that the comments on a CaID problem are not real.

You are correct about the northern provider. The CAID remap option in rq-sssp config works perfectly and takes about 5 second to edit accordingly. The config even shows an example of how to edit the CAID if I remember correctly.
