Phoneline 10M Ethernet Bridge

Getting to Know the HomeLink Phoneline 10M Ethernet Bridge

Rear Panel Ports

HPNA 2.0	Use the HPNA 2.0 port to connect your Broadband Bridge to
	your HomeLink network. This port is configured as a pass-
	through port, meaning that the network data travels into the
	Bridge through one side of the HomeLink port, then continues
	out the other. Connect one HomeLink telephone cable into one
	side of Port 1, then continue (with another cable) to your next
	HomeLink device through the port's other side.
LAN	Connect an Ethernet PC (or an Ethernet device) to your
	HomeLink phoneline network through one of the Bridge’s
	10BaseT ports.
Uplink	Share your Internet access over your entire phoneline network
	by connecting to your DSL or Cable modem through the
	Broadband Bridge's uplink port. The Uplink port can also con-
	nect to Ethernet devices such as hubs, routers, and switches. If
	the Uplink port is used, the port right next to it (LAN) will be
	inoperable. Any connections made through a LAN will be lost.
Power	Connect your power adapter to your HomeLink 10M Bridge
	through the Power port.
