Anybody with a dead ihub or looking to buy another one just buy the Wiz110SR LAN adaptor (basically same as ihub) for $26 it works great with the latest ihub emulator bin files released. These hubs are dirt cheap and there's plenty of them out there! :D
I've been using the 110 board for well over a year now.
The issue is the handshake at start up. The 110 board won't pass. I hot swap with a good dongle and that gets me "Network settings" and the "Adapter Connected" message.
I was hoping that someone had overcome the issue but alas.... same thing as always for me.
I loaded the 360-no check file hoping that would do it. After a reboot, no message and no network settings show. :(
Hot swapped with a working dongle and back on with the 110 board again.
If you have to run the full emulator with your computer, this is still no good for the 110 board.
What did/do you do to get yours to work like a regular dongle with no computer ?
Thanks
sometimes its a bit hard to believe a member who joined last month with total of 2 posts. with them being 2 identical posts on these iWiz110SR ..
i could be wrong though
I have a 360e what is the latest bin file for ihub emulator.
they never said they got it to work without a pcQuote:

Might as well just use emulation and ditch the dongle.
I have 3 ihubs that never connect! the green & amber lights shows but never a network connection! even if you leave
them on for a week!! I hoped this adapter will help! gee thanks nothing.
As I understand it, the wizhub has to be loaded with the ihub software--just requires using the wizhub program and having the hub's sw and that is around or can be pulled out of the PK zipped format from the files (the file checks to see if the version of hub sw in the file is newer than the one in the hub as part of the handshake and if newer loads the hub with that unzipped sw ). Also as part of the handshake the box sends the hub 16 bytes of 3DES encrypted data pseudo-random generated, the hub has to respond with the 16 bits unhashed--part of the emu program was to defeat that part of the handshake (though the 3des key is figured out so they could use an unmodded file if they wanted to add the 3des routine). SO, with the Wizhub110 not having the security chip that does the 3des "unhash" when the box asks for the data back it just responds with all FFs, but the modded file just ignores that the returned data does not match what is expected and thinks that test is passed. That means that the box should be happy with the wiznet110 board. Don't know that anyone has tested that beyond the emu testers that checked that the box was happy through the handshake. But, do know that at another site one guy loaded the 110 board with ihub sw and captured the serial comms to see the security chip test, so if you run the right modded file, load the board with the right sw and give the thing a test or two, one would know if it works or not.
Now, I also have heard that the emu guys want to put out a modded router to do the emu rather than use a PC and that they might actually bo out already--don't know, don't own sv box, don't do IKS, haven't bothered to look around. A modded router can always be reflashed to just be a router, the wiznet110 board is OK but it just does serial to web interface by and large. And PCs are cheap and can run emu too, so what you use depends on what you want.
I would have done tried this myself but just can't wrap my head around the shipping costs for the 110sr. Plus I have other stb's that are up. Times being what they are a penny is a penny. lol
I have all the dongle firmware from 1.0 to 4.12. All FW only.... the latest FW were extracted from the Svlan files.
Currently the 110 board shows 4.12 for the version.
I have the 360p no check file loaded to the box.
On reboot... nothing shows and no adapter connected message.
Perhaps I'll try an older fw version and see if it works, although I'm not expecting it too.
Yes, the guys are working on the router FW......
Don't you have a hand in that jvvh5897 ??
If you have to run Emulation to make this work (the 110 board) ... It's not working the way we want and the 110 board is back to being useless without a hot swap.
I'll post what i learn later.

-First I loaded 2.2 using wiznet
-had the older es22-2028 bin loaded so the stb would update the 110 board to 4.12 it would give a message that is was going to update module but then I would get an error message right away and it wouldn't update.
-I then updated the 110 board in wiznet to svlan_4.3 file and I changed the "baud rate" in the serial tab of the wiznet sofware to "115200" and saved settings
-I reconnected the 110 board to receiver now having svlan_4.3 flashed plus the baud rate set at 115200 powered it on and I got the "network adaptor connected" please wait updating software message.
-After the stb updated the 110 board I checked it in wiznet and it was at 4.12. I then booted up the stb and got "invalid network adaptor" which is what I knew it would say using the older es22-2028 bin file, was just happy that the stb was seeing the 110 board.
-Now I loaded the latest ihub emulation file for the Elite and after it rebooted I got the wonderful message "Network adaptor connected." Went into network settings to verify everything was right, it was, then went to a channel and BAM! Came right in!
I hope this helps you get yours working right, I know people are saying what's the point in buying the 110 board when you can use a PC instead but to me I hate having to run a PC the whole time and these are a lot cheaper then paying over $100 on ebay for an actual ihub if you can even find one.
Forgot to add that you MUST use a NULL Modem Cable to connect the 110 board to the stb. I was trying to use a straight-thru serial cable at first and of course the stb wouldn't recognize the 110 board.
Excellent.
Thanks brother.
I agree, I would rather use a dongle.
I'll give it a shot.
:)
All I had to do was change the baud rate and it connected.
That's great news and finally a work around for the Wizhub.
Thanks for the help and instructions.
:)

Okay, The task has been completed with the latest emulation files.
Need a dongle for SV... here is what you do.
Search the web for a "WIZ110SR Serial to Ethernet Module"
They are easy to find.... for now.
1-Using the Wiz program... upload the Svlan 4.12FW file.
2-In the Wiz program, click on the "Serial" tab. Change the baud rate (speed) to 115200 and click on the "settings" to save the change.
3-Load the "nochk" Emulator file for your box to the box.
4-Reconnect the 110 board as usual and reboot the box.
5-You should see the "Network adapter connected" message and you should have "Network settings" in your menu.
6-Confirm the info or load the server info if needed and try to connect.
If all has gone well, you should run like any other dongle for SV.
I would move fast as I suspect the dongle might be hard to find soon.
Good luck,
Sp0iler
End c/p
You all gona keep on and make me spend some coin aren't ya. lol Of course even if you have a working iHub wouldn't be a bad idea to pick up a 110sr for back up. My iHub is brwoke. :bawl: Ya gota hate the dreaded yellow light syndrome. :2guns:
Do it Snap... it will work just fine and sure beats the heck outta computer emulation Imo.
:)
I ordered one to try & make as a spare

Please sticky this
another procedure
load new sonicview files connect wiz100sr and let it flash he will upgrade to 4.12 now open program wiznet and click search
check ip and port Local ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port must be 1920
subnet 255.255.255.0
server ip 0.0.0.0 port 10000
check mark on Use DNS dns server ip like gateway
domain name dummy click setting
mine work so fine
try to load 4.12 but get fail upload

My box wouldn't load the 4.12 file to the WIZ110SR board until I did step 2 above. I haven't tried flashing the 4.12 file using wiznet I let the box update it.
The serial output of the box is at 115kbaud , so yes you have to have it set that way.
Want to check that your box is sending out info at that rate?--just hook up a cable to a PC serial port and log the output of the box. The info sent to the dongle is ascii so you can see it with something like HyperTerm. I like sourceforge site's RealTerm--it is free.
I don't get it Snap ??
The Emu files do just what your asking.... defeat the security chip.
Unless your pretty proficient in Binary, the editor's won't do you much good other than to see the code.
Whats your objective here and why ?
:)
so can i use a dongle from cnx??and program it then for my 360elite?
Nope.....
That would be too easy.
Got the WIZ110SR board today and had it up and running in a flash literally.
1. Loaded the no check file to receiver.
2. WIZ board with only network cable from my router and 5V power supply connected only ( No connection to receiver )
3. Open WIZ Configuration tool on PC and scanned for adapter.
4. Changed network settings in Configuration to match my network also changed serial to 115200 and saved settings.
5. Closed configuration tool and reopened noting my changes were saved.
6. Open "UPLOAD" and pointed to my 4.12 file in pc and updated to 4.12.
7. Connected WIZ110SR to Sonicview and NETWORK ADAPTER CONNECTED Standard stuff from here.
is 4.12 file the same as 4.12FW file?Quote:

First one with the factory fw Attachment 18781. Second one after the sv fw. I removed some of the ip info in this shot Attachment 18782.
Fooling around with some older fw I managed to brick it better know as v82. So it is good and broke in now. :D
Try loading the SVlan-43 file to the 110 board with the Wiz program.Perhaps that will get you over the version 82 error.
I loaded the rom100 to it and cleared the v82 error. Then loaded the rom0431 back and started over. My own fault. It's all good now.Quote:

Not sure exactly what it is your asking but the 110 board is the only one tested to work with SV.
Sparkfun.com for the 110 dongle.
:)
does anyone know of a good enclosure /plastic box for this chip?
thanks
also does anyone know where the cheapest place to get about 10+ is i'm in canada and mouser is the cheapest so far at 29 thanks
The price of these boards are going to keep rising, so if anybody is interested in using them on their Sonicview will need to get them early as the price will continue to go up.
Just a heads up.... Where ever you buy them ensure they do not ship UPS. UPS are crooks when it come to border fees.Quote:

Bought another 10 direct from Wiznet and shipped FedEx and fees were $39.00
just received one of these and tried doing it your way...but the Wiz don't see it in search. I just don't get it. can anyone tell me why the wiz program does not find it? I do have original and wiz does see it....its got me..Quote:

I know I should see a mac addy and version #
Are you connected straight to your computer lan port or through your network ? Connect to your lan port directly and search again.
