Since all the telephone wall jacks in the apartment are connected to the same telephone line, this
would serve as a network configuration. Assuming that the wall jack determines each node of
the network, you can configure them to function like a LAN.

Firstly, configure the IP address of the TH102-A which it is be identified in the network. If you
are using a DHCP server, please enter the Start and End address. Please enter the DNS IP
address as well.
Secondly, configure the PCs in the network so that they share the same LAN environment. If
you have difficulty in configuring the IP address of the PCs, please refer to Chapter 6 on
“TCP/IP Configuration”. Please ensure that you type in the correct Network Address for each
individual PCs, else they will not be able to function in a LAN environment. If you are using a
DHCP server, please read the section on Advanced DHCP server Options.
Upon successful configuration, data will be routed through TH102-A. Thus TH102-A served its
purpose as a router. If one of the computers is configured to link to the Internet, the rest of the
computer can share this resource to surf the web. This is one of the advantages of having a LAN
environment, as the resources can be shared within the network environment.
The HPNA ready computers in the network must be configured such that
they will be able to see the TH102-A (which is being used as a router).
Please refer to Chapter 6 on “TCP/IP Configuration”.
