The makers of the Basic Enigma (on which all enigma images on DGS boxes are based), made a special boot-feature called Machine ID (mID) in which you can select several boxes.

If you get a message like ‘could’nt load RC Mapping file for DM5xxx or DM7xxx’ or the Remote controll doesn’t respond (typically you stay stuck in language menu), you’re likely to set a different mID.

Normally it is not possible to change the mID variable and with that the personality of the box. This boot loader will allow this, but keep in mind that it is not recommended to use a mID of a box that has different features and processor. For example, setting the mID to DM7000 or DM70200 will not make things go better as the relook 400 is not a DM7000 nor a 7020, it has a different hardware and different devices, but on images adapted from the dreambox, the best option is mID for DM7000. The closest configuration to the Relook400 is the DM5620 or DM500 and of course the Triax DVB272S. There in the mID list there is also the possibility to set Relook400, Mutant200 or Relook510, but keep in mind that these configurations are NOT SUPPORTED in enigma and you will probably get the RC to not work plus more little things not supported.

The Relook mID’s are 20 for mutant and 40 for Relook400, also a mid for Relook510 was reserved but as that machine is still under development. The Teams that are now adapting enigma for relook can use mid 20 and mid 40 for mutant200 and relook400. Though common practice is they choose DM7000 for 400s and 250s, and DM500/5620 for 200s.

To access the mID changing utility, simply poweron the box and KEEP pressed the Right Arrow button on the front panel, the navigation in the menu is done with the arrow keys, ok confirms and saves and power reboots without saving.

After changing the model id it is recommended to erase the flash keeping pressed the up arrow button on the front panel when requested during boot sequence.

Do the following: – boot the box with Puttytel in serial mode connected. – press ‘cntl+Z’ on boot until you get a prompt and the display on the box shows ‘console’ and a prompt appairs in your terminal window – key in: edb clear (enter) – reboot the box while holding right arrow key – select the right mID And all should be ok
