1.Power off your PC.
2.Locate your PC's card slot. The slot is usually located on the side of the PC. If your computer has more than one slot, insert the HomeLink Phoneline 10M Integrated PC Card into the first slot as shown in the pic- ture below (slots are usually numbered in sequential order starting with 0 or 1). After verifying that the HomeLink Phoneline 10M Integrated PC Card's hardware and software are working correctly, you can always move the card to a different slot later if needed.
3.Attach one end of the telephone cable to the HomeLink card’s HomeLink port. Connect the other end of the cable into the telephone jack in your wall.
The hardware installation is complete.

Connecting to a Phoneline Network
Connecting to a Phoneline Network
Computers on a HomeLink network can be connected in one of two ways. They can be daisy chained through their HomeLink port to another HomeLink PC in a string, or they can be connected directly to a phone jack. The diagram below shows a HomeLink phoneline network that uses both types of connections.
To connect your HomeLink PCs together in your HomeLink network:
1.Connect one end of your telephone cabling to your Phoneline 10M Integrated PC Card’s HomeLink port.
2.Connect the other end of that telephone cable into another computer’s HomeLink port or directly into a phone jack.
Your computer is now connected to your Phoneline network.
