HPNA LAN

To eliminate the need to install network wiring, the Motorola SBG1000 Wireless Cable Modem Gateway provides a Home Phoneline Network Alliance (HPNA or HomePNA) connection. HPNA networks use existing telephone lines to connect the computers without interfering with telephone voice service, DSL, ISDN, modems, or fax machines. HPNA networks can extend up to 300 meters (1000 feet).

Each computer requires an HPNA adapter to connect to the HPNA network. HPNA adapters (sold elsewhere) are available for PCI or USB. After installing the HPNA adapter, you must install HPNA driver software on the computer following the instructions provided with the HPNA adapter.

HPNA 2.0 supports 10 Mbps data transfer similar to Ethernet 10Base-T.

If there is more than one telephone line, you must make all HPNA connections to the same line. You can connect a telephone to the top HPNA port on the SBG1000 (see “Front Panel” on page 6).
