1) Connect between Receiver and PC by RS-232 Female-to Female Nul Modem Cable.
The PIN configuration is shown below.
2) Please go to the Fortec Star Web site to get the Uploader software and the software
available for this receiver. The Uploader program is illustrated below.
3) The software for the receiver (BIN file) must match the STB Model. For this
receiver, enter the STB model as Lifetime. Then select the bin file for the Lifetime
receiver that is appropriate for your region of the world, i.e., the PAL file for Europe and
the Middle East and the NTSC file for North America.
The following message will appear when the STB Model and Bin file don't match.
Caution! Never turn off the receiver during software
downloading. Any interruption while downloading
will damage the flash ROM, and will void the warranty.
