The D-Link DHN-120 is an HomePNA 2.0 compliant 10Mb
Home Phoneline Network Adapter specifically designed to plug
into an available Universal Serial Bus USB port connecting to a
desktop or laptop PC running Microsoft Wi n d ows 98 or Wi n d ow s
2000. It is a complete out of the box solution for that represents
the simplest way to add 10Mb HomePNA-compliant netwo r k i n g
to a computer.
The HomePNA2.0 specification outlines a transport method by
which sustainable data rates of 10 Megabits per second can be
a c h i eved over normal in-home phoneline wiring. Additionally this
technology is backwards compatible with HomePNA 1.0 1 Mbps
products. The DHN-120 marries this technology to USB to
p r ovide the fastest and most advanced out-of-the box home
n e t working solution.
The DHN-120 has three ports. The USB type B port allows the
unit to be located up to 15 feet away from a USB hub or USB
enabled computer. The two RJ-11’s can be used to connect to the
home phoneline, directly to another HomePNA device, or may be
used as a pass through for a telephone or modem.
P ower for the DHN-120 is provided directly by the USB bu s ,
n egating the need for an external power adapter. It can be plugged
into any USB host or hub port that provides 500mA of current as
d e fined in the USB specifications 1.0 and 1.1 as a high-pow e r e d
USB device. The DHN-120 supports USB’s energy sav i n g
suspend and resume functions to minimize power consumption.
Diagnostic LEDs are mounted on the top of the device to prov i d e
the user with power state and current Link and Tr a ffic status for the
LAN connection. Packaged with all necessary manuals, a 6-foot
USB ‘A’ to ‘B’ cable, and a driver CD, the DHN-120 ensures that
the user is able to easily and quickly install and use the dev i c e
directly out of the box.
