Linksys USB100H1 manual USB Cabling, Modem and Fax Compatibility

Phoneline + 10/100 USB Network Adapter

USB Cabling

The EtherFast 10/100 USB Network Adapter comes with one USB cable. One end of the USB cable has a rectangular plug, which is called a type A con- nector. The other end of the cable has a square plug, or a type B connector.

Type A Type B

The USB cable’s type B end connects to the USB device—in this case the USB Network Adapter. The type A end connects to a computer’s USB port.

The picture below shows two USB ports as they might be found on your computer. Note the two USB icons above the port.

Modem and Fax Compatibility

If you have only one phone jack in a room and you want to use your modem or fax, it is recommended that you purchase a telephone jack splitter. Plug your telephone or fax into one of the splitter’s ports, and your HomeLink USB Network Adapter into the other.
