Connecting to a Phoneline Network

Computers on a HomeLink network can be connected in one of two ways.
They can be daisy chained through their HomeLink port to another
HomeLink PC in a string, or they can be connected directly to a phone jack.
The diagram below shows a HomeLink phoneline network that uses both
types of connections.
To connect your HomeLink PCs together in your HomeLink network:
1. Connect one end of your telephone cabling to your Phoneline 10M
USB Network Adapter's HomeLink port.
2. Connect the other end of that telephone cable into another computer's
HomeLink port or directly into a phone jack.
Your computer is now connected to your Phoneline network.
