Now select the Softcam menu

Your DM box will now go to console mode and download and automatically install the plugin.
When it is complete it will go back to the plugins menu
Press exit to go back to the main menu
OpenPLi: If you install only one softcam, it will automatically be selected as the default softcam and started. No need to configure anything.

Howto add a Soft Cam manually

For E2 boxes only, not for OpenPLi

FTP the appropriate files to your box and chmod the files
Create an empty file with the same name as the Soft Cam, for example "pcam". Optionally, you can enter the version number of the softcam as text and save it
Upload this file to /etc/plimgr/cams/

PLi Manager will now detect the new Soft Cam "pcam", if you entered a version number in your file it will be recognised as such

Choose the new Soft Cam in the Soft Cam Setup

Or via a Telnet session:

FTP the appropriate files to your box and chmod the files
Telnet to your box and type:

echo "1.9" > /etc/plimgr/cams/pcam

(in this example your softcam will be displayed as version 1.9)
