T
A Hotwire phone filter is installed on every telephone on the same line as the

HomeLink is a feature that provides peer-to-peer communications for PCs attached to
different Hotwire 6310 ReachDSL v1 modems at the customer premises.
For example, PCs that are not connected to the same physical Ethernet LAN can now
take advantage of the resources of the primary office computer. With the Microsoft
Windows operating system, multiple end-user systems can share resources, including:
T
File sharing
T
Print sharing
T
Secondary computer backup
To enable the sharing of resources and review security considerations, see Microsoft's
Web site at www.microsoft.com.
In this example of HomeLink, the PC in the family room could use the office printer.

using an Ethernet crossover cable. To increase the number of end-user systems,
connect all the PCs to an Ethernet hub using a straight-through cable.
On one line, the ReachDSL v1 system provides the capability to use up to four Hotwire
