Does anyone have a problem putting in the new dongle file on their new mini. I put the usb in the mini and had no problem putting in the factory file and the latest 3.52 file but when i go to put the dongle file T1739 as i have a IX 400 it will not allow me to do anything not giving a choice for S/W download and I noticed beside the file to the left the two other files have a little wheel or gear beside them but not the dongle file. I am new at the mini and would appreciate any help......thanks lots

How to load a file?

Most common and easiest way to load files is with the provided USB stick.
Click here for mini files:
Unzip File and copy file to the Portable USB stick.
Take USB stick to STB and press MENU scroll left to Utility and scroll down to USB press OK.

You will see the file on screen choose the file by scrolling to it and press OK.
Choose SW Update and let it load and reboot. The Unit will reboot and you can now scan your sats.

How to scan your sats.

I will cover only the easy most common way. For other options please read the manual.

Press menu
Installations
Channel search (password)
Choose your sats
Choose Diseqc locations
Change LNB frequency to match your setup (11250 usually)
Enter other option according to your setup
Click on search
If all is correct it will scan in the channels

How to download EPG
Press EPG
Press either the RED button for Dish or GREEN for the Bev.
For dish a window will pop up with a status bar that takes 5 minutes to fill the epg.
For BEV it will take a couple minutes with no status bar.

How to manually Change the Keys.

Press menu
scroll left to KEY WORKS
Press OK
Enter the menus by pressing ok
Enter the keys as needed with the buttons as instructed on screen.
Press ok on the options to save.
Basically the OK button is your access into the menus. Pressing it on different options brings you to the next.
To go back press exit.
Takes a few minutes to get used to it but it is one of the easiest to use.

How to choose between sat packages.
Press SAT
choose either ALL, DISH package or BELL package.

This Unit automatically defaults to SID order.
When in ALL the BEV channels will be renumbered into the 10000 (example channel 400 becomes 10400)

when you choose either package the renumbering will be off.

How to edit the Picture quality

Press SORT
Window pops up with adjustments
These settings get defaulted with each factory default if you have a setting you like I recommend writing it down in case a default is needed.

How to return to previous channel



Enjoy your new box.

it sound like you have everything in right,, I more thing you might want to do in turn off your box in the back,, then do the same dsl when the dsl or what ever you are using comes up fully then turn on the box let it sit.. while you are doing that I will go and try to find the IP# just in case

please alway post to let me know if we got this working..

good luck

from what I understand I got IX-200 internet dongle and it should be compatible with CNX Mini IX-400. and use the same server,,

on my system the IP addie is,

IP add,,,,, 192.168.1.24
subnet,,,,,255.255.255.0

I'm sorry but I got to get some sleep I will hang with you for 10 more min. if your box not up I'll check in tomorrow morning I hope you get your box going,,

good luck again

Hi it is errolc again just wanted to thank you again for you help the other night. I still did not get the unit working but I will try the new file put out today. I left it for two days then gave up figering it was a file or server problem, I am not that desperate for Sat i do have cable to watch.

Thanks again
