1. Introduction

With the G.hn Bridge G4201TM you can easily set up a local
network over existing telephone cables.
The modems are "multipoint" capable. Up to 16 devices
can be set up on a 2-wire telephone line. Each modem
communicates directly with all others in the G.hn network
("peer-to-peer").
The G4201TM, G4202T, G4202TCP (with PoE/PoE+) and
G4204T-W (with Wi-Fi) models are compatible with each
other and can be combined in the network as desired.
Any type of cable can be used for data transmission – both
twisted pair and non-twisted pair, the net bandwidth is up
to approx. 1500 Mbit/s, depending on the cable length. This
bandwidth is shared between all connected modems.
The G4201TM Bridge is also suitable for forwarding the
fiber optic connection from the ONT to the router via an
existing telephone line in the single-family home. Two
modems are required.
