screen. To check, from TiVo Central, select Messages & Setup, then Settings, then Phone & Network Setup. The MAC address
should be on the top right-hand side of the Phone & Network Setup screen. If you do not see a MAC address listed, your DMS is not
recognizing the network adapter you installed. The adapter is either not compatible, not functioning properly, or not properly
connected. If you do see a MAC address, the adapter you are using may or may not be compatible. For more information, see “USB
