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.
