Connecting to a Phoneline Network
Computers on a HomeLink network can be connected in one of two ways.
They can be daisy chained through their HomeLink port to another
HomeLink PC in a string, or they can be connected directly to a phone jack.
The diagram below shows a HomeLink phoneline network that uses both
types of connections.
To connect your HomeLink PCs together in your HomeLink network:
1. Connect one end of your telephone cabling to your Phoneline 10M
Integrated PC Card’s HomeLink port.
2. Connect the other end of that telephone cable into another computer’s
HomeLink port or directly into a phone jack.
Your computer is now connected to your Phoneline network.

Installing the Hardware
Installing the Hardware
1. Power off your PC.
2. Locate your PC's card slot. The slot is usually located on the side of the
PC. If your computer has more than one slot, insert the HomeLink
Phoneline 10M Integrated PC Card into the first slot as shown in the pic-
ture below (slots are usually numbered in sequential order starting with 0
or 1). After verifying that the HomeLink Phoneline 10M Integrated PC
Card's hardware and software are working correctly, you can always
move the card to a different slot later if needed.
3. Attach one end of the telephone cable to the HomeLink card’s HomeLink
port. Connect the other end of the cable into the telephone jack in your
wall.
The hardware installation is complete.
