Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of RCA RC930 Caller-ID-Compatible Wireless Modem JackCustomer Review: Dish Network and Caller-ID compatible phone extensions Summary: 5 Stars
I'm using the RC930 base unit with two RC930 extensions connected to two ViP622 HD DVRs.
Although Amazon recommends the RC920 extension, DO NOT buy the RC920 extension if you want Caller-ID functionality. Since I couldn't find just an RC930 extension for sale anywhere (even eBay), I bought 2 of these "base unit with extension" packs.
They work as advertised, passing Caller-ID as long as you enable the Caller-ID feature on the satellite receiver.
Installation took less than five minutes in three distinct steps:
1. I plugged in all three devices and connected the phone cords.
2. I pushed the button on the side of the base unit which caused it's green light to power on solid, indicating it was ready to communicate with the extension devices.
Notes: You may have to push that button a couple of times for it to stay on solid, vice blinking. That puts the base unit into a "security programming mode". It will stay in that mode for 5 minutes while you push the button on the side of the extension device(s). After 5 minutes the light goes out, indicating it's no longer in the programming mode. All extensions will have to be programmed during this 5 minutes, or you'll have to start again.
3. I pushed the button once on the side of the each extension device.
Notes: The light should blink once while it synchronizes with the base unit, and then stay on solid for a couple of minutes to let you know the security programming is complete. If the light on the extension is continually blinking after you press the button, it means for whatever reason, the extension can't communicate with the base unit. That's usually caused by old/bad house wiring or interference caused by other electrical devices. I don't know if that happens very often, but I have a lot of electrical devices plugged in and have no problems what so ever.
To recap, plug devices in and connect cables, push the base unit button, and then push the button on the extension. That's all there is to it and you're finished.
Description of RCA RC930 Caller-ID-Compatible Wireless Modem JackRCA Wireless Modem Jack, Caller ID Compatible The RCA Wireless Modem Jack RC930 uses household electrical wiring to provide a simple solution for consumers who want to add a telephone jack to any room in the home or office. It can accommodate modem speeds up to 56K and is compatible with personal and laptop computers, caller ID units, and Internet access devices, in addition to corded and cordless phones, answering machines, fax machines, and digital satellite system receivers. The system consists of two units: a base and an extension. The base unit transmits the telephone signal on the electrical wiring using the FM band. It plugs into an electrical outlet near an existing telephone jack and connects to an existing telephone jack with a modular phone cord. The extension unit plugs into any electrical outlet and operates as a telephone jack. Once the base unit is plugged in, an unlimited number of extension units may be operated from the original base unit.
