Linksys HPPO200 manual Daisy-chaining a HomeLink Network, Resetting the HomeLink Phoneline Router

HomeLink™ Series

Daisy-chaining a HomeLink Network

Daisy-chaining your HomeLink PCs and peripherals can create a simple net- work that acts in the same way an Ethernet network acts on your PC's desktop.

While Ethernet networks usually revolve in a star topology around a hub or switch, phoneline networks link together like a string of Christmas lights. In a HomeLink network, data passes into on one side of a port, and a new telephone cable continues out from the port’s other side. You can string up to 30 PCs on a single HomeLink network, provided that the entire length of cable does not exceed 300 meters (1000 feet).

HomeLink networks can send data through existing telephone lines without disrupting your telephone service, connecting over your existing telephone jacks. If you have PCs on two different floors of your house, plug one of the downstairs PCs into the phone jack in the wall, and you're able to network your PCs upstairs without running excessive amounts of extra cable.
