How Does It Work?
The Linksys HomeLink Phoneline + 10/100 Network PC Card utilizes a tech- nology known as Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM) which essentially divides the data travelling over the phone lines into separate frequencies - one for voice, one for high-bandwidth net access such as DSL, and one for the net- work data. These frequencies can coexist on the same telephone line without impacting one another.
The 1 Megabit-per-second (one million bits-per-second) data rate is fast enough to run demanding home applications such as file and printer sharing, games, and email. Want to surf the web? No problem -- you can share one modem or high-speed Internet connection over the entire network using the Internet LanBridge software package. The HomeLink Phoneline + 10/100 Network PC Card’s data transfer rate is 18 times that of the fastest analog modems available, which run at 56Kbps (fifty-six thousand bits-per-second). Even high-speed modem, xDSL, and ISDN connections will perform at full speed on a home network. The HomeLink Phoneline + 10/100 Network PC Card is the perfect tool to introduce the benefits of networking to your home or office.
Note: Because of the limitations of standard telephone cables, HomeLink HomePNA devices require that your cabling does not exceed a total length of 500 feet for your entire network.
