Understanding your CCcam line: host, port, username, password

Published July 2026

Every cccam.io line is one C-line with four parts. Here's what each field means, why you get two of them, and what the trailing options do.

When you buy or trial a line, you get something that looks like this:

C: server1.cccam.io 12000 ab3k9p s7Xq2m no { 0:0:1 }

It looks cryptic, but it’s just four values and a couple of options. Once you can read it, most setup and troubleshooting gets easier.

The four fields

• C: - the line type. It tells your receiver “this is a CCcam client line.” You’ll also see F: lines in some guides; those are the server side. As a customer, you use C: lines.
• server1.cccam.io - the host. This is the server your receiver connects to. We give you two hosts so the box can switch if one is busy or down.
• 12000 - the port. The receiver opens an outbound connection to this port. If your local firewall or ISP blocks it, the line won’t connect.
• ab3k9p - your username.
• s7Xq2m - your password.

The trailing options

• no - controls whether your box re-shares the line onward. Keep it no. You’re a client, not a server.
• { 0:0:1 } - a hop/uphop setting. The default is fine for a normal setup; you rarely need to touch it.

Why two lines?

You get two hosts, so you add two C: lines - same username and password, different hostname:

C: server1.cccam.io 12000 ab3k9p s7Xq2m no { 0:0:1 }
C: server2.cccam.io 12000 ab3k9p s7Xq2m no { 0:0:1 }

If one host has a problem, your receiver falls back to the other without you noticing. That’s the whole point of shipping a pair.
