Phoneline 10M USB Network Adapter
USB Cabling
The HomeLink Phoneline 10M USB Network Adapter comes with one USB
cable. One end of the USB cable has a rectangular connector called a Type A
connector. The other end of the cable has a square Type B connector.
Type A
The USB cable's Type B tip connects to the USB device, that is, your USB
Network Adapter. The Type A end connects to a computer's USB port.
The picture below shows two USB ports as they might appear on your com-
puter. Note the two USB icons marking the ports.
Modem and Fax Compatibility
If you want to have a phoneline network and a phone in one room with just
one phone jack, you can still attach your phone to the jack by using a tele-
phone jack splitter.
Plug your telephone or fax machine into one of the splitter's ports, and your
HomeLink phoneline 10M USB Network Adapter into the other.
