While oscam.conf is the cornerstone of your configuration, it's important to understand that it's part of a larger, interconnected system of files, each with its own specific purpose. Here is a quick overview of the core files you'll be working with:
: If set to 1, OSCam waits for local smartcards to initialize before opening network ports. preferlocalcards : Determines decoding priority: 0 : Local cards treated like remote readers. 1 : Prefer cache exchange (default). 2 : Prefer local cards. 2. [monitor] Section Configures the UDP monitor interface for remote tracking. port : The UDP port for the monitor (default is 0/disabled). oscam.conf
