Getting to Know the HomeLink
Phoneline 10M Ethernet Bridge
Rear Panel Ports
HPNA 2.0
Use the HPNA 2.0 port to connect your Broadband Bridge to
your HomeLink network. This port is configured as a pass-
through port, meaning that the network data travels into the
Bridge through one side of the HomeLink port, then continues
out the other. Connect one HomeLink telephone cable into one
side of Port 1, then continue (with another cable) to your next
HomeLink device through the port's other side.
LAN
Connect an Ethernet PC (or an Ethernet device) to your
HomeLink phoneline network through one of the Bridge’s
10BaseT ports.
Uplink
Share your Internet access over your entire phoneline network
by connecting to your DSL or Cable modem through the
Broadband Bridge's uplink port. The Uplink port can also con-
nect to Ethernet devices such as hubs, routers, and switches. If
the Uplink port is used, the port right next to it (LAN) will be
inoperable. Any connections made through a LAN will be lost.
Power
Connect your power adapter to your HomeLink 10M Bridge
through the Power port.
