USE KEYBOARD FOR INITIAL CONFIGURATION. DON'T BOTHER FIGHTING WITH THE REMOTE. IT IS SIMPLY NOT INTUITIVE.

1) Understand that there are concept of users. One can create many users and depending on users settings you will have access to those applications.

2) Try to setup your own ftp internal website. That will be useful when trying to upload bins. Downloading from factory site would take longer time. Also installing bins is two step process.
step a: Download the bin
step b: select update software

3) use of keyboard
F1 key will give u available menus
Esc key will moveu to previous level
Ctrl-x to move out of any application

4) Creating Favourite list
This has to be done by creating a different user. Once the user is created then delete all the channels and add the channels you would like this favourite to have.

5) Admin password is 1111

6) If you are using keyboard then to select the options that you will see at bottom of the screen use f1,f2,f3,f4. This will correspond in sequence to the things on the screen

7) To go to command prompt type ctrl-alt-backspace

8) Be prepared to buy audio cable that will convert computer output to RCA output unless you are using hifi digital stereo system to connect audio.

9) To reinstall firmware from your created CD press F11 as soon as machine is turned on, then select the boot device using arrow keys

10) For reboot you will have to go to top menu and hit ctrl-p on key board or power button on remote. You can't power off from any other location.

11) You can use ssh and scp from any windows or unix box to connect to the box. UID=root pwd=captive. For windows you will have to download freeware copies of this softwares.

How to install Java plugins for 3000/4000
1. Download sun java here
Quote:
hxxp://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
Use the "Linux (self-extracting file)"
When I downloaded at the time the install was called jre-6u10-linux-i586.bin
When typing the following commands replace the file name with the file you have downloaded.
Also do not type the ' at the begining or end of command.

2. ssh to box.

3. Type 'rwroot'

4. There should already be a java folder but just in case there isn't follow this..
Type 'cd /usr/local'
Type 'mkdir java'
Type 'cd java'

Don't close your ssh program.... We will go back to it after this step.
Now you need to use a ftp program to upload the java install file to the CW3000/4000.
Upload into the directory /usr/local/java
I use winscp but I would think any ftp program would work.

Now go back to your ssh program.

5. Type 'chmod a+x ./jre-6u10-linux-i586.bin'

6. Type ./jre-6u10-linux-i586.bin'
At this time you should see the install agreement.
Hit enter until the end of the agreement and then accept the agreement.
Java should have installed into /usr/local/java/jre....

7. Type 'cd /usr/local/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins'

8. Type 'ln -s /usr/local/java/jre1.6.0_10/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so'


thanx to zemane
