To figure out which wire is wire number 1, hold
the cable so that the end of the plastic RJ-45 tip
(the part that goes into a wall jack first) is facing
away from you. Flip the
clip so that the copper side
faces up (the springy clip
will now be parallel to the
floor).When looking down
on the coppers, wire 1 will
be on the far left.
Telephone Cable
The telephone cables you use can be either
crossed over or straight-through. Standard tele-
phone cables like the ones you use everyday in
your home should do the job.
Note: If you are only sharing Internet access
between 2 PCs, you can connect your modem
directly to your HomeLink Card using a standard
telephone cable. However, if you are sharing
Internet access among more than two computers,
it is strongly recommended that you obtain a two-
way splitter for your phone jack, or that you find
another wall phone jack for your modem connec-
tion.
Forcing the HomeLink Network Card to supply
high-speed data from the Internet to multiple com-
puters may result in an unstable or failed network
connection.
