Match Octopus NET MC-S and the original MC manual dated September 16, 2016, not the terrestrial/cable MC-A. Its documented 12 SPTS streams and maximum 8 transponders describe different limits. In the existing authorized Übersicht, record Status, Nutzer, Kanal, Frequenz, Carrier, Signalstärke, SNR and Bitfehlerrate. Kanal shows the first selected service on the transponder, not the entire client-stream list. Grey IP fields in DHCP mode are normal; on a phone, the navigation can be collapsed behind the top-left menu icon. The manual says the scan DiSEqC setting applies to all tuners, not each independently. Do not change it, scan, reset, update firmware or rewrite network settings as an initial test.
When to stop and get help
