Phone & Network Setup
The Digital Media Server makes regular connections to the TiVo service to get updates to
the TiVo service, program information for the program guide, and updates to Showcases
and TiVolution ® Magazine. The connection usually lasts less than five minutes. You may
receive service updates to your DMS from time to time. In such cases, it may last longer,
but this happens rarely (a few times a year).
A phone connection is required for Guided Setup, but after you complete Guided Setup,
you'll be able to connect your DMS to a home network and use a shared Internet
connection instead of a phone line to make connections to the TiVo service.
On the Phone & Network Setup screen, you can see details, including the time of the last
successful connection to the TiVo service and last connection attempt, as well as the status
of the last connection.
The Phone & Network Setup screen has different selections depending on whether you
have connected a network adapter to your DMS. If you haven't connected a network
adapter, you will see these selections:
• Edit phone settings. This selection takes you to the Phone Dialing Options screen.
Selections on this screen are explained in detail on page 84.
• Test phone connection. When you select this, a test connection to the TiVo service
will start automatically. You may wish to use this option for troubleshooting or other
unusual circumstances. Test connections usually only take a couple of minutes. When
the connection has finished, press SELECT to continue.
