Frequently asked questions about HomePNA
Do I need to use phoneline filters in a HomePortal-enabled HomePNA
network?
Yes, whether or not you are using HomePNA. Phoneline filters are required if you
have splitterless DSL and sometimes they are required even if you have splittered
DSL because splitters installed by DSL service providers do not always
completely eliminate noise on the phone line. Use phoneline filters on each phone,
answering machine, fax machine, security system, and analog modem. You can
order phoneline filters from 2Wire (2Wire DSL Phone-Line Filter).
Does my DSL service interfere with my HomePNA network?
No. The HomePNA network is designed to be compatible with ADSL as well as
voice band.
Can I use HomePNA and my telephone at the same time?
Yes. If you have splitterless DSL, you must use a phone-line filter on each phone
in your home.
Can I use HomePNA and the HomePortal in a digital telephone system such
as those found in many corporate environments?
No. HomePNA is designed to be used only with standard analog home telephone
systems.
Will some devices interfere with my HomePNA network?
Yes, but only if you are using the older HomePNA 1.0 standard. HomePNA 1.0.
Ham radios on bands between 4.5 and 9 MHz, some cordless phones, power
devices with a rheostat (dimmer switch), and some older phones may affect the
HomePortal network. To diagnose such a problem, unplug all of the telephone
devices in your house, and turn off any power devices on dimmer switches and
ham radios. Then connect the HomePortal network and plug in, one at a time,
each of the telephone devices, checking the effect on your network before moving
to the next device. Then turn on your dimmer switch and ham radio, and check the
result on the HomePortal network connection. 2Wire recommends using only
HomePNA devices that support the HomePNA 2.0 standard.
