the slot's contacts. After the card is firmly in
place, secure its fastening tab to your PC's chassis
with a mounting screw.
5. Replace your PC's cover, then turn on your
computer. If your computer has a plug-and-play
BIOS and a Plug-and-Play operating system like
Windows 98 or 95, it will automatically recognize
the card and assign a unique IRQ ("interrupt") and
I/O address to it. If your PC isn't plug-and-play
compatible, consult your PC's user guide to see
how you should go about assigning a unique IRQ
and I/O address to a new interface card.
Installing the RJ-11 (Telephone) Cabling
Attach one end of the telephone wire to the
HomeLink card's RJ-11 telephone port. There are
two RJ-11 ports and only one RJ-45 port - the RJ-
11 ports are the smaller ones. Connect the other
end of the cable into a telephone jack in your wall.
If you are using an analog telephone, you can
either connect the device to a second phone jack
(recommended), or you can connect your tele-
phone directly to the second port on your
HomeLink card.
If you have only one phone jack in your room and
you want to use your modem or fax, it is recom-
mended that you purchase a two-way adapter that
can turn your single phone jack into a double
phone jack. Plug your telephone or fax into one
phone jack, and your HomeLink Network Card
into the other.
