Connect a Stalker / Ministra portal
Some providers deliver service through a compatible Stalker/Ministra portal, identified by a portal address and a MAC address that the provider has registered.
What you need
- The portal URL from your provider.
- The MAC address your provider registered for you, in the form
00:1A:79:xx:xx:xx. - Only if your provider asks: a serial number, or a portal login and password.
Steps
- Open LAKSMED. On first launch it opens the connection screen; later, go to Settings → IPTV stream.
- Choose MAC portal (Stalker / Ministra).
- Enter the Portal URL and the MAC address exactly as your provider gave them.
- Fill in the serial number or portal login only if your provider supplied them. Advanced fields can stay empty unless your provider says otherwise.
- Name the subscription and press Save.
Write your MAC address down. Your provider's service is tied to it, and you will need it again if you reinstall or move to a new device.
If it doesn't work
- The MAC must match the one your provider registered, character for character.
- Some portals accept only one device at a time per MAC.
- Settings → Diagnostics shows what the portal answered.
