3.Connect the provided AC power adapter from the HomePortal’s POWER port to an electrical outlet. The green POWER light on the front of the HomePortal should come on.

4.Connect the remaining cable from the broadband modem to your broadband service (cable or DSL wall jack).

5.Install your HomePNA adapter according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Note: If you are installing a phoneline filter, it must be installed directly between the telephone and the wall jack, as shown in the diagram. Do not connect the telephone line from the HomePNA adapter to the phoneline filter. The network will not work properly if the phoneline filter is connected directly to the HomePNA adapter. You can use the provided Y-adapter to connect both the HomePNA adapter and the phoneline filter to the same phone jack.

Note: Your HomePNA card or adapter is not the analog V90 dial-up modem that may be integrated in your computer. Please make sure that you connect both separately.

IMPORTANT: Don’t forget to reboot your cable or DSL modem after new connections are made and make sure that your modem is powered on before proceeding.

Check your connections

With your computer completely started, verify the POWER and HOME NETWORK indicator lights on the front of the HomePortal are green. If they are not, see “Diagnosing connection problems” on page 22. The BROADBAND LINK indicator light will not turn green until the HomePortal software has been installed and an Internet connection has been established.
