Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Linksys HomeLink Phoneline +

10/100 Network PC Card. This exciting new technology is being offered in

compliance with the standards of the Home Phoneline Networking Alliance

(HomePNA). The Linksys HomeLink Phoneline + 10/100 Network PC Card

now offers instant connectivity to multiple PC's over a home's existing tele-

phone 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 + 10/100 Network PC Card is the ultimate in versa-

tile connectivity for mobile users. The 16-Bit PC Card’s coupler is equipped

with two standard RJ-11 telephone ports and a 10/100 dual-speed Fast Ethernet

port. You can connect to any 1Mbps HomeLink network or any

10BaseT/100BaseTX network without swapping cards. The card fits into any

standard Type II PCMCIA slot, leaving room for a 56K modem or other PC

Card in dual-slot notebooks. You can share Internet access via a dial-up, cable

modem or DSL connection, as well as files, printers, and CD-ROM drives at

1Mbps without interrupting regular telephone service. Since your HomeLink

network runs on regular telephone cables, there’s no extra hardware to buy.

Just plug it into any standard wall jack and you’re networked!

The Linksys HomeLink Phoneline + 10/100 Network PC Card utilizes

Advanced Micro Devices' (AMD®) PCnet™-Home technology. This new tech-

nology lets your phone line carry computer data as well as regular telephone

voice service. You can also use feeds from broadband connections like cable

modems or Digital Subscriber Lines (xDSL). You can talk on the telephone,

download files from the Internet, and share resources over a network all at the

same time. Every standard telephone jack in the home is capable of hosting a

PC - you can connect up to 25 computers, thus transforming the home's tele-

phone wiring into an easily expandable network. Want to add more PCs? Just

put a HomeLink card in the computer and plug it into your phone jack. It’s that

simple!

How Does It Work?

The Linksys HomeLink Phoneline + 10/100 Network PC Card utilizes a tech-

nology known as Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM) which essentially

divides the data travelling over the phone lines into separate frequencies - one

for voice, one for high-bandwidth net access such as DSL, and one for the net-

work data. These frequencies can coexist on the same telephone line without

impacting one another.

The 1 Megabit-per-second (one million bits-per-second) data rate is fast enough

to run demanding home applications such as file and printer sharing, games,

and email. Want to surf the web? No problem -- you can share one modem or

high-speed Internet connection over the entire network using the Internet

LanBridge software package. The HomeLink Phoneline + 10/100 Network PC

Card’s data transfer rate is 18 times that of the fastest analog modems available,

which run at 56Kbps (fifty-six thousand bits-per-second). Even high-speed

modem, xDSL, and ISDN connections will perform at full speed on a home

network. The HomeLink Phoneline + 10/100 Network PC Card is the perfect

tool to introduce the benefits of networking to your home or office.

Note: Because of the limitations of standard telephone cables, HomeLink

HomePNA devices require that your cabling does not exceed a total length of

500 feet for your entire network.

SharingYour Resources

The HomeLink Phoneline card brings the advantages of inexpensive network-

ing to your home or office. Any device on the network, including CD-ROM

drives, hard drives, and printers, can be used by any of the PCs that you hook

up to the network. The installation instructions in this user guide will guide you

through the process of setting up your networked PCs so that all of their avail-

able resources can be shared. Of course, you have control over the sharing

rights, so you will be able to isolate devices or drives that you do not want to

be accessible from the rest of the network.

It is important to note that if you want to use a networked device on a PC other

than the one that the device is attached to, you must configure the PC to handle

the device.

SharingYour Internet Connection

Your HomeLink network will let you talk on the telephone and access the

Internet at the same time only if you are using an xDSL or cable modem con-

nection. If you are using an analog modem or other device that requires you to

dial out to your Internet Service Provider (ISP), then, obviously, your telephone

line is already in use, and you can not talk on the phone. Your internal network

data travels on a separate frequency, so your network communications will not

be interrupted no matter what type of Internet connection you have or whether

or not you are using the telephone.

See note on page 46 for important modem hints.

Hardware Setup

BeforeYou Begin

The HomeLink Phoneline + 10/100 Network PC Card is equipped with two

phone wire ports, also known as RJ-11 ports, for use with a Phoneline network

that utilizes your existing telephone system. The card also has an RJ-45

10BaseT Ethernet port for use with 10Mbps Ethernet networks.

IfYou Want to Use Ethernet...

If you plan on connecting the HomeLink Card to a 100Mbps or 10Mbps

Ethernet network, only use Category 3 or 5 twisted-pair cabling. Network

cabling is available in a number of different grades. For best results, we recom-

mend using 8-wire, category 5 unshielded twisted-pair for an Ethernet network,

although category 3 can be used successfully. Category 5 is more reliable, and

it is compatible with faster 100Mbps networks - a useful feature if you plan on

upgrading from Ethernet to Fast Ethernet in the future.

Keep in mind that the RJ-11 and RJ-45 capabilities cannot be used at the same

time. If the one is in use, the other is automatically disabled.

Both Category 3 and Category 5 twisted-pair cabling can be purchased from

most computer stores, or if you prefer, you can crimp your own cables. See

page 45 for wiring information.

Whether you're building a 10Mbps or 10/100 network, twisted-pair cabling

should always be used with a hub, which is a box with a row of 10BaseT or

10/100 ports. Each PC plugs into the box with its own twisted pair cable.

Because all of the PCs' cables converge at the hub's central location, a twisted-

pair network is often referred to as a star configuration.

Do not connect PCs together with twisted-pair cabling without using a hub.

Although your network may work, communication will be unstable. The cable

that runs from your computer's HomeLink card to your hub should not exceed

100 meters (328 feet) in length.

Installing the Hardware

1. Turn off your PC and any devices attached to it.

2. Snap the flat end of the media cou-

pler into the HomeLink Phoneline

+10/100 Network PC Card. It should

lock firmly into place.

3. Locate your PC's card slot. The slot

is usually located on the side or front of

the PC. Slide the HomeLink Phoneline

+10/100 Network PC Card into the slot

with the triangle on the card facing up.

The 68-pin end goes in first. See that

the card is seated snugly in place.

4. If your computer has more than one slot, insert the HomeLink Phoneline

+10/100 Network PC Card into the first slot (slots are usually numbered in

sequential order starting with 0 or 1). After verifying that the HomeLink

Phoneline +10/100 Network PC Card's hardware and software are working cor-

rectly, you can always move the card to a different slot later if needed.

Installing the RJ-11 (Telephone) Cabling

Attach one end of the telephone wire to the HomeLink card's RJ-11 telephone

port. There are two RJ-11 ports and only one RJ-45 port - the RJ-11 ports are

the smaller ones. Connect the other end of the cable into a telephone jack in

your wall.

If you are using an analog telephone, you can either connect the device to a

second phone jack (recommended), or you can connect your telephone directly

to the second port on your HomeLink card.

If you have only one phone jack in your room and you want to use your modem

or fax, it is recommended that you purchase a two-way adapter that can turn

your single phone jack into a double phone jack. Plug your telephone or fax

into one phone jack, and your HomeLink Network PC Card into the other.

If you have two or three PCs in one room with only one telephone jack, you

can connect several of the computers together using the Daisy Chain method.

Plug your first PC with a Phoneline card into the phone jack in the wall, then

use the other phone cable port on the card to connect to your second PC.

page 6

Continue to connect up to twenty-five PCs on one chain. If you want to use

your telephone or fax machine, add a two-way splitter on your wall’s phone

jack or connect the device to the open telephone port on the last card in your

daisy chain. If you are daisy chaining more than 2 PCs, you should connect

modem to a different wall phone jack, or obtain a 2-way splitter, (see page 46).

Installing the RJ-45 (Ethernet) Cabling

Remember that if you choose to use the RJ-45 port on your HomeLink card,

the RJ-11 Phoneline networking capabilities automatically become disabled.

The two cannot operate at the same time.

Attach one end of an Ethernet cable into the HomeLink card's RJ-45 port. Plug

the other end of the cable into a 10BaseT or 10/100 switching hub. If you plan

to use both 10BaseT and 100Mbps network segments on the same network,

you'll need a dual-speed hub or switch that allows segments of different speeds

to communicate. For more information on 10/100 dual-speed hubs and switch-

es, visit the Linksys web site or call (949) 261-1288.
