Compilation of Cube and Test Chip Codes for Jerrold Boxes
jerrol...@hotmail.com
were obtained from
Jerrold Cubes, Test Chips, etc. These codes are as complete as I could make
them and were
obtained from a variety of sources. I would appreciate any additions to the
list, corrections,
comments, etc.
I have not seen such a list anywhere, including websites, DejaNews archives
of the cable groups so I
thought I would start one. I will keep this updated and re-post
periodically if there is enough
interest.
Here's the list:

Note: A variant on this command will allow you to load an ESN and SiteCode
from the Serial Number
If you choose not to load the SiteCode, the box will ~never~ check
the site code again, so it is not clear why you would want to load
one.
In any event, the following code will load a SiteCode
(SC1 SC2 SC3 SC4) and ESN using the serial number:

06 Command Length
FE Command Byte
ESN1 First Byte of ESN
ESN2 Second Byte of ESN
ESN3 Third Byte of ESN
ESN4 Fourth Byte of ESN
CSUM Command CheckSum
Notes: 1) Most cubes set the ESN to E0 BF 7F 3E -- why? This is the 2nd to
last possible ESN value
2) Possible ESN values - byte 1 (always E0), byte2 (80-BF),
byte 3 (40-7F), byte4 (00-3F)
3) CheckSum is calculated as follows:
0-((SUM of all hex commands) MOD FF)
4) Alternate calculation for checksum is (assume 8 bit variable):
XOR (Sum of all hex commands, FF) + 1
5) What I (and some others) refer to as the ESN, some call the DSN.
In any event, this is the assigned serial #, not the F2 box
number.
