To set up CCcam on Enigma2 receivers such as Vu+, Dreambox or Zgemma, you add the two C-lines from your provider to the file /etc/CCcam.cfg (via FTP or your image’s softcam menu), install the CCcam softcam from your image’s plugin feed, then start CCcam and restart the box. Once CCcam connects to the server, encrypted channels clear within a few seconds. The whole CCcam on Enigma2 setup takes about ten minutes and works the same way on OpenATV, OpenPLi and VTi in 2026.

This guide walks through every step of running CCcam on Enigma2 in detail, shows the exact C-line format, and covers the mistakes that cause most “it does not work” support tickets. If you follow the five steps in order, your receiver will be decoding channels by the end of the page.

What you need before you start

• An Enigma2 receiver (Vu+, Dreambox, Zgemma, Octagon, Edision and similar) connected to your network by Ethernet or Wi-Fi
• Your two C-lines from your provider – with a cccam.eu subscription you always get a Server 1 line and a Server 2 line, and both belong in the same receiver
• FTP access to the receiver (FileZilla or any FTP client), or a softcam feed built into your image
• The receiver’s IP address, which you can find under Menu > Setup > Network (or Information > Network on some images)

Not sure your box can run CCcam on Enigma2? Almost any receiver from the last decade works fine. See our guide to compatible CCcam receivers if you are still choosing hardware.

Step 1: Get your C-lines (Server 1 and Server 2)

A C-line is a single line of text that tells CCcam which server to connect to and with which credentials. When you buy a subscription, or start a free 48-hour trial, the lines are delivered instantly by email and are always available in the customer portal, where you can also download a ready-made CCcam file.

Every account includes two servers: Server 1 and Server 2. You add both C-lines to the same receiver, one under the other. CCcam then keeps a connection to both, so if one server reboots for maintenance, the other keeps your picture running without any action from you.

The format of a C-line is always the same: C: followed by hostname, port, username and password, separated by single spaces.

C: server1.your-provider.example 12345 yourusername yourpassword
C: server2.your-provider.example 23456 yourusername yourpassword

The values above are placeholders. Use exactly what your provider sent you, character for character.

Step 2: Install the CCcam softcam on your image

Modern Enigma2 images do not ship with CCcam preinstalled, but all the popular ones offer it through their own softcam feed. You install it once from the receiver’s menu, no PC needed.

On OpenATV

Go to Menu > Plugins, press the green button to open the feed, and open the softcams category. Select a CCcam package from the list and install it. We have a separate step-by-step OpenATV install guide for Zgemma with screenshots if you want more detail.

On OpenPLi

Open Menu > Plugins > green button (Download plugins) and look in the softcams section. Install the CCcam package offered by the feed. If your OpenPLi build does not list CCcam, you can install an OScam package instead and use our OScam server setup guide – the same subscription covers both protocols.

On VTi (Vu+)

Open the VTi Panel from the blue button, go to the softcam or addons section, and install CCcam from the list. VTi manages softcam start and stop from the same panel.

Step 3: Add your C-lines to /etc/CCcam.cfg

CCcam reads its configuration from one file: /etc/CCcam.cfg. The easiest way to edit it is over FTP from your computer.

1. Open FileZilla and connect to your receiver’s IP address on port 21. The username is usually root; on most images the password is empty unless you set one.
2. Browse to the /etc folder on the receiver.
3. If CCcam.cfg already exists, download it, open it in a plain text editor (Notepad, not Word), and paste your two C-lines on separate lines. If it does not exist, create it. Our post on how to make a CCcam.cfg file covers this from scratch.
4. Save the file and upload it back to /etc, overwriting the old one. Mind the exact spelling: capital CC, lowercase cam, .cfg.

Prefer to skip manual editing? Download the ready-made CCcam file from the portal and upload it as /etc/CCcam.cfg in one move. Some images also let you paste C-lines directly through a softcam or line manager plugin – the result is the same, the lines end up in the config CCcam reads.

Step 4: Restart the softcam and verify it connects

CCcam only reads CCcam.cfg when it starts, so after editing the file you must restart the softcam. On OpenATV, long-press the blue button (or open the SoftcamPanel) and restart CCcam; on VTi use the VTi Panel; on OpenPLi use the softcam setup menu. A full receiver reboot also works if you cannot find the panel.

Then switch to an encrypted channel. It should clear within a few seconds. To confirm both servers are connected, open CCcam’s built-in web interface: in a browser on the same network, visit your receiver’s IP on CCcam’s webinfo port (16001 by default, so for example http://192.168.1.50:16001) and open the servers page. Both of your provider’s servers should show as connected.

Step 5: Avoid these common CCcam on Enigma2 mistakes

One rule to remember: one receiver per subscription

Your two C-lines are two routes to the same account, not two separate accounts. Fair use is simple: one receiver per subscription, one channel at a time. Automated detection warns you first if the lines are used on multiple devices, and repeated misuse leads to a block, so keep each subscription on a single box.

Try it free before you subscribe

The best way to test CCcam on Enigma2 is with real C-lines. Grab a free 48-hour trial from cccam.eu – no card required, delivered instantly – and set it up exactly as described above. If you like the result, plans run 12 months, 24 months or lifetime, and everything is delivered automatically the moment you order. Curious how providers compare first?
