All connection and configuration details for the set top box are explained in the STB Admin

Configuring for PAL

The setres command can be executed from the Linux shell. This command gives PAL users

a means to change the screen resolution. Although this command can be executed from any

shell (for example from the console, telnet, or the serial port) the intent is for it to be used

from the serial port since a PAL user without an NTSC or VGA monitor has no other choice

if the STB's IP address is not known. The syntax of the

setres command is:

setres pal <username> <password>

setres ntsc <username> <password>
