SiliconDust TECH manual

Connect the Ethernet port(s) to a network switch. On models with multiple ports, all ports must be connected in order for all tuners to be accessible. A single port can be directly connected to the network interface on a PC to access that specific device. All ports are auto-crossover so a standard Ethernet cable can be used.

Download and install the latest Windows release of the HDHomeRun software: https://download.silicondust.com/hdhomerun/hdhomerun_tech_windows.exe

The HDHomeRun Setup wizard is optional.

When the installation process is complete it is recommended that the HDHomeRun program directory be added to the PATH so that the hdhomerun_config utility can be run from a cmd prompt. The default program directory is “C:\Program Files\Silicondust\HDHomeRun\”

Download and extract the libhdhomerun archive.

Run “make” to compile hdhomerun_config (systems that use a non-GNU make by default may need to install and use “gmake” instead).

Copy hdhomerun_config to /usr/local/bin

The discover command will find devices that are on the same subnet as the host:

hdhomerun_config discover

The “<id>” shown above represents a unique identifier for a device, this can be either Device ID, or IP address:

hdhomerun_config <device id> get help
hdhomerun_config <ip address> get help

To address by Device ID the device must be on the same subnet as the host.

A Device ID of FFFFFFFF can be used as a wild card for the first device found on the network. Do not use this syntax if there are multiple devices on the network, as the device used will be random based on discovery order, which may change between commands.
