To view other variables' value and name, you can use built-in utility fw_printenv directly in STB.
The Utility is described in the Operator guide (pdf) section: Utilities description, page 27.
For example:
- Change/Set in the internal/external portal, using STB menu, necessary configuration/option;
- Connect to STB through SSH (default login: root, pswd: 930920) and perform:
fw_printenv
- The last changed variable will be at the end of the list.
