Connecting Using DishCOMM
5 If 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.
