A guide on how to use Putty for Telnet commands
Download Putty from following link and install it
Start Putty,
Click on Telnet
Enter IP address of receiver
Click on Open
See attached picture
Once logged on, the default username for most images is "root" in lowercase. There is no password for most images as a default. If yours is different, perform a search on the net.
To find IP address on receiver:
Menu > Setup > Network > Device > Adapter settings. (Some images show it in the about page). You can also use the hostname. eg tmnano3t.local
You can save the details to enable quick access if your router assigns the same IP address or you are using a static address
You obviously want to issue a command someone has posted. It is better to paste than type them. This avoids errors.
Copy the command you want, right click on the putty window, paste, press return
Copying output from Putty window:
Highlighting text in putty automatically copies it to your clipboard. You can then post this if required. E.G you are getting a problem and need to post the output/result so others see it.
Some commands:
Show storage devices, filesystem and type
Put enigma to sleep (required before deleting files normally re-written at restart such as epg.dat)
Stop Enigma2 and then restart in console mode with debug
Stop Enigma2 and then restart in console mode with debug( On PLi, you have to issue as two separate commands)
Stop Enigma2, restart and write debug log to /hdd
(Will still work if you only have a USB stick connected)
Set a Pasword
List available updates
Perform an update
Remove all channel data and bouquets. Use with caution.
Remove all channel data and bouquets. Use with caution. (For Pure2 and older OpenATV images)
Check who is connected to your receiver.
Show your tuner configuration. This will also create a file in /tmp/ called "mytunerconfig.txt" Upload/attach it to your thread if asked to.
Flash ViX by command line (by Grog68). This will not create a settings backup.
Flash OpenATV by command line (by Grog68). This will not create a settings backup.
