• Receiver Connectivity via Land-Based Phone Line or Broadband Internet

o 4 Ways to Connect the Receiver via a Phone Line

1. Direct Connect -If there is a phone jack nearby, direct connect is an easy way to connect any receiver to a phone line.
2. Phonex Wireless Modem Jack -If there is no phone jack nearby, a Phonex wireless modem jack can be used to connect a non-ViP-series receiver.
3. More than One ViP-Series Receiver, with One Connected to a Phone Jack -Set up a DishCOMM Network between the ViP-series receivers to allow the receivers that are NOT near a phone jack to call out through the receiver that IS connected to the phone line, using the home power lines.
4. All ViP-Series Receivers, None are Near a Phone Jack -Use a DishCOMM Modem if you have all ViP-series receivers, but none are near a phone jack. The DishCOMM Modem connects to the phone line and the home抯 power lines, allowing the receivers to call out through the DishCOMM Modem using the power lines in the home.
