4. Common Interface

TRIAX ST-HD527CI makes you enjoy various scrambled channels encrypted by Viaccess,
Nagravision, Irdeto, Conax, Cryptoworks and SECA.
4.1 Preparing
To be able to receive scrambled digital satellite channels you need a Smartcard and a Common
Interface CA (Conditional Access) module from the Service Provider of your choice.
The Smartcard and the CA module may also provide access to special menus not described in
this manual. If so, please follow the instructions from the Service Provider.
Only free to air channels are available without the Smartcard and CA Module.
Insert the CA Module in the slot of TRIAX ST-HD527CI and insert the Smartcard to the CA
module. This will give you access to scrambled channels.
Note: TRIAX ST-HD527CI has 2 slots for CA Module
4.2 Check Manager
Select Common Interface menu in the Main Menu page. Then TRIAX ST-HD527CI detects and
shows the CA Module names, which you have inserted in the slots. Then select slot 1 or slot 2.
You will then see the information provided by the Program provider.
Note: This information may be different for each Program Provider.
