How Do I Hook Up Entré to a Broadband Internet Connection via HPNA?, continued
A Home Phone Network Alliance (HomePNA) connection allows you to use the
existing phone cabling in your house as if it were a computer network—without
tying up a phone line. Once you connect your computer to a HomePNA
adapter, you can plug Entré (or into any phone jack in your house.
Kenwood recommends connecting Entré to the Internet via a Home Phone
Network Alliance (HPNA)/Ethernet bridge. If you have a broadband Internet
connection (for example, through a DSL or cable modem), this allows Entré to
access the network through the modem without additional expensive network
cabling. As you can see on page 18, you use the phone lines already present in
your house to connect Entré to your DSL or cable modem.
Use a minimum of No. 26 AWG wire for telephone cables.
Most households are wired with No. 12 or 14 AWG wire,
which is more than sufficient for a good HomePNA
connection.
If you use HomePNA (as opposed to the other connection methods described
later in this section) you will be able to add optional Axcess Remote Portals to
expand your system throughout your home and use all of their functions,
including Internet Radio.
Entré is compatible with the following HPNA-Ethernet
bridges:
•D-Link DHN-100
•LinkSys HPB200
•LinkSys HPR0200
•NetGear PE102
The illustration provided shows a sample networking connection. Whatever
your configuration, connect the following cables:
See the manual that came with your HPNA/Ethernet bridge for more
information on setting it up and configuring it.
You can plug a telephone into the phone jack labeled “Phone”
on the back of Entré.

Use a splitter if you need to attach more than one phone
cable to the same jack. Using a splitter does not affect the
quality of the HomePNA connection.
