Here m8 I’ve googled your receiver make/ model and found some info/ links for your it and what you need to do to it, seems like you might need to update the software on your receiver to ”Openbox” then you would get the box to enter the 16 digits codes, my question is which channels are you hoping to unlock?
Lots of tuts How to do..just take your time and Read around.

Satdudez Gateway - Powered by DnP Firewall

OR this Method Quick Guide:
Step 1 : Switch off the Openbox at the mains and connect it to your PC using a "null modem" cable.
Step 2 : Run the Loader programme and set the serial port to whichever serial port you use.
Step 4 : Now click the "File Tab" and load the Openbox update you downloaded.
Step 5 : Now click the "Update" tab and switch on the mains supply to the receiver.
You will now see 3 horizontal bars travelling from left to right, this will continue for a couple of minutes after which you will see "n" again moving left to right followed by "0" and lastly "8" DO NOT INTERRUPT THE PROCESS UNTILL YOU SEE "8" OK the update is over switch off the receiver, remove the cable and switch on the receiver again.
The main thing is once started do not interfere with the process YOU MUST WAIT FOR "8" to appear only then is the update over.
Follow these instructions and you won't go wrong, make sure that you use the correct file for your receiver.

Check this out:..Old x810 Version with Loader.

The best way to Check IF IT HAS been Converted is Go into Menu it should then say Openbox on the top.
Or Check Firmware Go to System Settings and then System Info.

Here is the Fixed version with AU turned OFF.

Good Luck…
