Chapter 1 Do not connect the DMS to a digital ® PBX phone system (these allow many phones to share a single telephone number and are usually used in hotels and office buildings). Doing so may permanently damage the Digital Media Server's modem and can void your warranty. If your cable or satellite box is also ® connected to your phone line, use the provided phone line splitter so the DMS can share the same phone jack. Plug the splitter into the wall jack, then plug both phone cords into the splitter. 8 Connecting Your DMS Connecting to a Phone Line During Guided Setup, the Digital Media Server uses a standard phone line to connect to the TiVo® service (see Chapter 2). After Guided Setup, your DMS needs to make regular connections to the TiVo service, using either a phone line or a shared broadband Internet connection. When it connects to the TiVo service, the DMS may receive: • Updated program information, including episode titles, plot descriptions, ratings, and schedule information. • Any available updates to the TiVo service, including content for Showcases. (See page 36 for more information about Showcases.) • Any recording requests you made using TiVo Central Online. (See page 100 for more information about Online Scheduling.) Guided Setup Requires a Phone Line. Almost every household phone line is a standard analog line, which is what the DMS needs to complete Guided Setup. After Guided Setup, you can connect your DMS to a home network and use a shared broadband Internet connection instead of a phone line for regular connections to the TiVo service. See Chapter 8 for information. If you don't have a home network with a shared broadband Internet connection, the DMS must use a standard analog phone line for regular connections to the TiVo service. You should leave the phone cord plugged in continuously in order to keep your Digital Media Server's program information up to date. Phone Jack Location. If the phone jack isn't close to the DMS, you can use the 25-foot phone cord that comes with the DMS to connect it to a phone jack. Phone cords longer than 25 feet are readily available at most hardware or electronics stores. Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine
