Cisco digital set-top boxes made in Russia can significantly expand the package of services provided by IP TV providers in the local market, due to such functions as digital video recording, the ability to play a program after a pause, and individual delivery of television programs and video films (video on demand) to the subscriber. Cisco STBs are equipped with a large number of additional interfaces such as component output, USB, HDMI, Ethernet, etc. The multimedia interface supports playback of high quality audio formats and allows transmission of high definition digital video data.

The main characteristics of the set-top box:

IPTV set-top box has the most compact form factor in the entire line of similar products manufactured by Cisco (~ 23 x 15 x 5 cm).

The device has a 2nd generation processor based on the Broadcom BCM7405 / 7406 processor. Total CPU performance is ~ 1 billion instructions per second

Microsoft Mediaroom Platform Interoperability Certified, hardware interoperability with other Linux based platforms

Supplied in versions with and without digital VCR, fanless design with 2.5 '' hard drive and E-SATA connector for future expansion (software support required)

Setting up the universal Beeline remote control

Detailed instructions for setting up universal Beeline remotes with the Setup button. See the simplified instructions on the main page

By default Beeline universal remotes are set to "Motorola" set-top boxes. But there are many other models and it is not a fact that you will get the "Motorola". If you were brought another prefix ("Kitty" (Cisco) for example), you must first bind it to the console, otherwise nothing will work. The valiant bee installer MUST set up the remote control, but, as practice shows, he often simply does not have enough time for this (don’t blame the poor guy, they are already driven like dogs), or you decided to do everything yourself. It is for such cases that this article was written.

× Attention 1!

Follow the instructions carefully. If you thought too long and did not enter the code for 4 or more seconds, the remote control goes into normal standby mode. If you suddenly did something wrong, do not worry, you just need to. This is at the end of the article.

× Attention 2!

This article fully applies to the new model Beeline universal remotes. It is easy to distinguish it by its appearance - the remote control is always black as in the above figures, the Beeline logo is applied at the bottom, the " SETUP"located in the upper part of the remote control under the key" MENU".
In extremely rare cases, you may come across an outdated AT6400 remote control without a key. " SETUP", or MXv3 models with the" Learn" instead of " SETUP". The color of such a remote control can be either black or light. The binding of the remote control to the model is easy to determine - in the lower part of the remote control there is a logo." Beeline"the prefix logo will be located" Cisco"either" Motorola".
The remotes of this series are tied only to their own set-top box and will not control the other. (ie the remote control with the "Motorola" logo will not work with the "Kisko" prefix and vice versa)... But you can still set up such a remote to control the on / off and volume of your TV. A detailed article about such remotes can be found here:

× Supplement 2017

Since the new (2017) year, Beeline began to install new generation set-top boxes - Jupiter... From the advantages of this miracle - a huge terabyte screw, from the obvious disadvantages - the firmware for them is still damp. Highly. Plus, only your own remote control is required for it, an ordinary universal one will not work. Below is the link for complete instructions for setting up these consoles:

Setting sequence:

Unlike its predecessors, the universal Beeline remotes of the new model (with the setup button) are extremely simple and reliable in setting. With strict adherence to the instructions, setting up and binding such remotes does not cause any difficulties. So let's get started:

Tie to pussy(Cisco):

× I will clarify in order to remove possible questions.
By default, the universal remote controls the STBOX volume (when the STB). The active key is very easy to identify, it flashes briefly when you press any button on the remote control. Now, after our gestures, the remote control can also control the TV. But for this to happen, you need to activate the mode TV by clicking on TV... After adjusting the volume and other parameters of the TV, you need to press again STB to return to the Beeline set-top box control mode.
It seems obvious, but very often people just forget to switch modes. TV / STB and are lost in conjecture why the remote control does not work :).

How to bind the volume control key to the Beeline set-top box:

By default, the volume key on the universal remote is always tied to the set-top box, but just in case :-)

1. Press the button SETUP, WAIT.
2. When the button STB blinks twice, release SETUP.
3. Press the volume up button.
4. Press and release the button STB.
5. Make sure the button STB blinked 2 times.
6. Enjoy.

Automatic configuration of the remote control for full control of TV / DVD:

If you want not only to control the volume of your TV or DVD set-top box, but also to enter the native service menu using a universal remote control, they need to be "introduced", ie. "bind" the universal remote control to the TV or DVD. After this operation, the native TV remote control becomes, as a rule, not needed at all.

1. Turn on your TV or DVD!
2. Press and release the button TV for TV, DVD for DVD.
3. Point the remote control at the TV or DVD.
4. Press the button OK(in the center of the console), WAIT.
5. This will automatically search for the control codes for your device. During the entire process, keep the remote control within the range of the device! When the process ends, the device (TV or DVD) will turn off.
6. Release the button OK.
7. Enjoy.

Manual setting of the remote control for full TV / DVD control:

There are two ways to bind the remote control - manual and automatic. I recommend using automatic - it's easier and more reliable. If the automatic search did not return any results (which happens very rarely), you can use the code table. Look for your device in the table and enter the code (4 digits)

1. Turn on your TV or other device - TV- television, DVD- DVD set-top box, AUX- amplifiers, video recorders, etc.
2. Point the remote control at the selected device.
3. Press the button SETUP, WAIT.
4. When the button of the selected device blinks twice, release SETUP.
5. Enter the device code from the code table.
We take the codes from the instructions from here:

6. If the code is successfully entered, the button of the device to be configured will flash twice.

If the code is not received within more than 4 seconds, the remote control will return to standby mode. In this case, we repeat the procedure from point 2.

7. Enjoy.

Factory reset:

If something went wrong, or you were "too clever" with the settings, you can always reset the remote to factory settings. But keep in mind that this will set the universal remote to the Motorola prefix by default. If your console is of a different model, you will need to reconfigure the console to it. So reset:

1. Press and release the button STB.
2. Press the button SETUP, WAIT until it blinks 2 times, release the button SETUP.
3. Press in turn the buttons 9, 7, 7 .
4. Button STB will blink four times, signaling that the remote has returned to its default settings.

Instructions for setting up a universal remote control in PDF from Beeline:

And finally, instructions for setting up a universal Beeline remote control in PDF from Beeline itself.

Beeline opened digital television back in 2009. The indisputable advantages of Beeline IPTV include the fact that a switch and even an STB set-top box are provided for lease. And the lineup of such consoles is quite impressive. It can be conditionally divided into two groups, which differ in the presence of a hard disk.

The first group without railway includes:

• Cisco - CIS 2001 and ISB 2200 models;
• Motorola - VIP 1002E and VIP 1200 models;
• CA also Tatung STB2530.

To the second with the railway:

• Cisco - CIS 430, ISB 7031, ISB 2230;
• Motorola - VIP 1216, VIP 2262E;
• Tatung STB3210.

An equally pleasant option from Beeline is the ability to watch TV programs through the Xbox 360 game console. The company uses the simplest switches - TRENDnet TE 100-S5 and D-Link DES-1005D.

So what does a standard subscriber package look like? The equipment from the Beeline company has the following appearance upon delivery.

What do we see in the box

Note, besides the set-top box itself, the kit is full of cables and other equipment - there is even an HDMI cable! The Trendnet switch is compact enough to fit in a box.

Well, and finally, a nice little thing. Where can we go without her? In the kit you will find a fridge magnet. Note - the Beeline company monitors its corporate identity - it is present on literally every item, and stickers are included in the kit.

The connection diagram itself is elementary simple: the cable connected to the house is connected to a switch, and the STB set-top box is connected directly from it, and, of course, your PC. Do you have a router with which you can programmatically allocate one port for an STB set-top box? Excellent - in this case, you can safely connect via a router. Otherwise, if the router does not communicate with IPTV, you will have to connect it to a switch.

During the first start-up, the Beeline STB set-top box will update the software itself, and it will connect to the portal itself. STB authorization on the portal is organized only at the data link level - a hard link is used according to the so-called. MAC address. When the connection is complete, you will see the Microsoft Mediaroom splash screen on your desktop. Yes, the company was not stingy in this regard - in general, in digital television, today it is the most advanced and most expensive platform. It is used by well-known operators - AT&T, Deutsche Telekom Vodafone.

The interface is quite functional and convenient

A very convenient channel management has been created - now you can watch a TV program, flipping through the channels in the list one by one, sorted in advance by subject, or you can select favorites. In the channel list you will find an online TV program with a picture-in-picture option.

Perhaps the main and only drawback can be called the fact that the recorded video cannot be deleted from the set-top box, tk. the recording is encoded. You can record multiple programs at once. Recording takes place either by pressing a button, or according to a set schedule.

Unencrypted - there are only 9 of them - can also be viewed through a computer on a VLC player. The remote control is programmable, with its help you can control four devices. Oddly enough, you can even program keyboard shortcuts - for example, sound control can be used on a TV or set-top box. The instruction is in English, but on the official website of the company you can also find it in Russian.

An important flaw - only one TV can be connected to each separate set-top box. Another drawback is the rather long loading of the set-top box when turned on after a complete shutdown of the equipment.

In general, interactive television from Beeline is a fairly good investment of your funds. And this is taking into account the fact that today the package is issued without rent, and savings with package offers go up to 30% of the amount of the subscription fee. You can see all the possibilities of IPTV from Beeline in the video below.
