    Question about 22khz

    I re-read your original post. I don't know about the 22khz from the E*. I had to consult the glossary to figure out what E* was. I assumed it was a Directv receiver model. When you hook up 2 D* receivers, one is blocked and the other is not. So, I don't really know the answer. I would...

    installer question

    If the customer is using a VPN they need a static IP. NAT'd systems may also be assigned the same IP address as other systems but use a different port number (port address translation). The other problem you might see is the VPN end point sees the IP address of the turbo page servers, not the...

    installer question

    Why do you have to change the numbers? Aren't they already set?
