Introduction
The Linksys Phoneline 10M Integrated PC Card
Congratulations on your purchase of the Linksys HomeLink Phoneline 10M
Integrated PC Card. The Linksys HomeLink Phoneline 10M Integrated PC
Card now offers instant connectivity to multiple PC's over a home's existing
telephone 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 10M Integrated PC Card is the ultimate in versa-
tile connectivity for mobile users. The 32-Bit PC Card is equipped with two
standard RJ-11 telephone ports. You can connect to any 1Mbps or 10Mbps
HomeLink network without swapping cards. The card fits into any standard
32-Bit Cardbus slot, leaving room for a 56K modem or other PC Card in
dual-slot notebooks. You can share files, printers, and CD-ROM drives at
10Mbps without interrupting regular telephone service. Since your
HomeLink network runs on regular telephone cables, there’s no extra hard-
ware to buy. Just plug it into any standard wall jack and you’re networked!
The Linksys HomeLink Phoneline 10M Integrated PC Card utilizes advanced
technology approved by the Home Phoneline Networking Alliance
(HomePNA). This new technology lets your phone line carry computer data
as well as regular telephone voice service. You can talk on the telephone and
share resources over a network at the same time. Every standard telephone
jack in the home is capable of hosting a PC—you can connect up to 30 com-
puters, thus transforming the home's telephone wiring into an easily expand-
able network. Want to add more PCs? Just put a HomeLink card in the com-
puter and plug it into your phone jack. It’s that simple!
