Connections and Setup
Connecting Using DishCOMM
5If no receivers in the house have a phone jack located close enough for a physical connection, the DishCOMM Modem can be shared among multiple DishCOMM- compatible receivers, as follows:
a Connect a phone line to the modem.
b Create the DishCOMM Network (see instructions, above).
c Ensure that all receivers display "Remote" on the Phone System menu under Connection Mode.
DishCOMM Considerations
Keep in mind these important considerations about using DishCOMM technology:
•If using a surge protector, one that is approved for use with HomePlug devices must be used, and the receiver(s) and/or DishCOMM Modem must be plugged into the HomePlug outlet of the surge protector.
•DishCOMM equipment should not be plugged into switched outlets.
•Dimmers for home lighting can interfere with DishCOMM. It is not recommended to use dimmers on the same circuit as DishCOMM equipment.
•Avoid plugging DishCOMM equipment into GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) outlets as they may interfere with the communications.
•When sharing a receiver's modem, Caller ID must be enabled on both receivers to provide the information to the receiver that is not connected to a telephone line.
