Connecting the Phone Line
CONNECTING THE PHONE LINE
You must keep the receiver connected to an active telephone line to order Pay-Per-View
programs, use all of the DishHOME Interactive features, or use other services from DISH
Network with your remote control.
Note: You may be able to use a wireless modem jack. However, this may not support all
the features of this receiver, such as Caller ID. See www.dishnetwork.com
for compatible
modem products.
Note: If you have a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL), you may have to install a DSL filter
between the receiver’s back panel P
HONE JACK and the telephone wall jack to
successfully connect with DISH Network. You can obtain a filter from your DSL provider.
Phone Line Connection
Run a telephone cable with a standard RJ-11 connector from the receiver’s back panel
P
HONE to an active telephone connection as shown below.
Note: Do not connect the phone line to the Ethernet connection.
Phone System Setup
You must set up the receiver for your telephone system (touch tone or rotary), and set a
telephone number prefix, if you need a prefix to make an outside call.
