SmartWi Timing test

This ‘Timing test’ can be used to verify if your receiver supports the delayed answer, caused by a multi-user environment.

A set-top-box (STB) receives an operational key every 10 seconds, this key is hold in an ECM package. This ECM package is sent from the STB to the smart-card, which then calculates the operational keys. On a Viaccess smart-card this calculation takes about 0.2 - 0.3 seconds, while on a Conax card, it takes about 1.3 seconds. If there are connected 4 STB's to a Conax subscriptions card, it can take up to 5.2 seconds, before the last STB will receive the calculated keys.

This ‘Timing test’ will show how large a delay the tested STB can support.

I.e. a Samsung DSR 9500AY with the native firmware installed, will only support a delay on 2.1 seconds. Used with Conax (1.3 sec. calculation time), this receiver gets unstable already with two SmartWi Client’s. Most receivers can handle a delay on more than 8 seconds.

1. Remove smartcard and power from Master
2. Connect the Master to the PC
3. Wait for Windows to recognize the Master
4. Download ‘SmartWi timing test’ firmware
5. Start the ‘SmartWi Display’
6. Insert smartcard
7. Insert a Client into the STB you are testing.
8. The Master will display the test-delays in the ‘Display’
9. Wait until the STB stops/freezes.

You must use ONLY one Client at a time; when doing the test.
