Installation Instructions

Computers connected with HomePNA access the HomePortal’s Internet connection and other computers

on the network using existing telephone wiring. You will need one adapter for each computer that you are

connecting through HomePNA. If your computer does not have a HomePNA port, you will need to install

a PCI HomePNA adapter or an external HomePNA adapter. The HomePNA adapter shown above is a

2Wire PC Port Phoneline Adapter.

1. Connect the provided AC power adapter from the HomePortal’s POWER port to an electrical outlet.

The green

POWER light on the front of the HomePortal should come on.

2. Connect the gray telephone cable provided with the HomePortal from the PHONE LINE port on the

HomePortal to a telephone jack with DSL service.

3. Install your HomePNA adapter according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Note: If you are installing a phoneline filter, it must be installed directly between the telephone and the

wall jack, as shown in the diagram. Do not connect the telephone line from the HomePNA adapter to the

phoneline filter. The network will not work properly if the phoneline filter is connected directly to the

HomePNA adapter. You can use the provided Y-adapter to connect both the HomePNA adapter and the

phoneline filter to the same phone jack.

Check your connections

With your computer completely started, verify the POWER and LOCAL NETWORK indicator lights on the

front of the HomePortal are green. If they are not, see “Diagnosing connection problems” on page 20. The

BROADBAND LINK indicator light will not turn green until the HomePortal software has been installed and

an Internet connection has been established.

Continue from here to Step 3 “Install the HomePortal Software” on page 13.
