The Linksys Phoneline 10M Integrated PC Card

Congratulations on your purchase of the Linksys HomeLink Phoneline 10M Integrated PC Card. The Linksys HomeLink Phoneline 10M Integrated PC Card now offers instant connectivity to multiple PC's over a home's existing telephone lines. You can network any notebook computer by connecting it to any standard phone line. There's no need for a switch, a hub, or even any additional cables—the network runs on standard home-grade telephone wires just like the ones you use everyday.

The HomeLink Phoneline 10M Integrated PC Card is the ultimate in versa- tile connectivity for mobile users. The 32-Bit PC Card is equipped with two standard RJ-11 telephone ports. You can connect to any 1Mbps or 10Mbps HomeLink network without swapping cards. The card fits into any standard 32-Bit Cardbus slot, leaving room for a 56K modem or other PC Card in dual-slot notebooks. You can share files, printers, and CD-ROM drives at 10Mbps without interrupting regular telephone service. Since your HomeLink network runs on regular telephone cables, there’s no extra hard- ware to buy. Just plug it into any standard wall jack and you’re networked!

The Linksys HomeLink Phoneline 10M Integrated PC Card utilizes advanced technology approved by the Home Phoneline Networking Alliance (HomePNA). This new technology lets your phone line carry computer data as well as regular telephone voice service. You can talk on the telephone and share resources over a network at the same time. Every standard telephone jack in the home is capable of hosting a PC—you can connect up to 30 com- puters, thus transforming the home's telephone wiring into an easily expand- able network. Want to add more PCs? Just put a HomeLink card in the com- puter and plug it into your phone jack. It’s that simple!
