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. Specific instructions for installing HomePNA
network adapters can be found in the individual adapter’s package (if purchased separately) or on your
HomePortal Setup Wizard CD (if included with your HomePortal). The HomePNA adapter shown in this
example 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 provided telephone cable 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.
