changing settings using telnet

[Muchacho]

Hi all,
I'm trying to understand how I can use telnet to modify settings.
I can see it is enabled but haven't got a clue how it works.
Can I do it directly from the remote or do I need a program?
Can anyone shed some light?
Thanks in advance.

What setting do you wish to modify? A why do you want to use telnet?

When I press blue / yellow / 2 E2 Setting
I get a page called: Dream Elite E2 Enigma Settings Info.
I don't know how to modifie settings here. Some of them seem to be accessible from other pages but not all. Having tried few things, I thought telnet would be the way to go. [And I thought it would be good to learn how this works too]
I want to modifie parental control.
Thanks in advance for your help m8y.

Those are channel settings and are usually downloaded from the server with your remote or you can send them into the 500 manually and edit them with a channel editor.

Hi

To install a IPK you need to use a FTP program DCC or Filezilla. Do you know how this is done?

This will connect to your dreambox once setup and then you just navigate to the /tmp folder and send over the ipk

To install it goto your addons manager and choose manual install select the ipk and press ok.

Ok, it looks I can manage with the ipk solution. [completly lost with the other]
I've got a prog called DCC.exe
I can connect to my box and have found a temp folder. [ftp/tmp]
What do i do next?

Hi mate

In the right hand window of DCC navigate to where you extracted the ipk and highlight it in the left hand window navigate to /tmp.

Now with the ipk file highlighted press the Transfer arrow to transfer the the ipk over to /tmp in the right hand window.

How do I extract the ipk?
Thanks for your enormous patience with me. I realize I must be asking very basic questions.

For lack of answer, I have finally re-installed the image from scratch and set everything up properly. It only took me half hour to have my box up and running.
