Broadband Network Bridge

Getting to Know the Broadband Network Bridge

Rear Panel 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 occupied, the port to its direct right (Port

 

3) will be inoperable. Any connections made through Port 3

 

will be lost.

10BaseT

Connect an Ethernet PC (or any other Ethernet device) to

 

your HomeLink phoneline network through one of the

 

10BaseT ports. If you plan on using Port 3, the Uplink port

 

will become unavailable.

HomeLink

Use the HomeLink port to daisy-chain 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. See page 7 of this User Guide for further information.

Power

Connect your power adapter to your Broadband Bridge

 

through the Power port.
