I selected this COM15 and clicked 'connect' at which point dreamup wanted me to switch on the dreambox.Ĥa. I then opened dreamup and a new COM port had appeared (COM15). Connect your dreambox to the LAN - FLASHING USING THE SERIAL(US CONNECTION DOES NOT WORK But you have to have the USB also connected to use dreamup.Ĥ. I let it go through all the installing software rubbish until it said ' new hard is installed succesfully'.Ģ. I then let it install the software for the 'new hardware', which was reported as a 'composite device' with nothing in the name to indicate it was a dreambox. On the off-chance something might happen, I connected the mini USB (dreambox) to a USB port on my PC and got 'new hard found DM500HD'. This had me confused for a bit as the DreamMultimedia website did not have any explanation of how to get around this problem.ġ. When using dreamup, it expects to use a COM port to set the box in flash mode. Connect with a browser to the DHCP supplied IP.īut if the box has been flashed with a bad image, use dreamup as follows. Switch of DM500HD, press the front switch and hold while powering on.ī. NOTE: Normally I would not flash using dreamup use a browser like with the DM600:Ī.
