How Does HomeLink Networking Work?
The Linksys HomeLink Phoneline Network Card utilizes a technology known
as Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM) which 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 network data. These fre-
quencies can coexist on the same telephone line without impacting one anoth-
er, although you will not be able to use your telephone if you are connected
through an analog modem.
HomeLink’s 1Mbps data transfer rate over phone lines more than accommo-
dates home PC applications such as file and printer sharing, gaming, and
Internet and email exchanges. You can share a modem or a high-speed
Internet connection over the entire network using the Internet LanBridge soft-
ware package. The HomeLink Phoneline Network Card’s data transfer rate is
18 times faster than the fastest analog modems available, which run at
56Kbps. Even high-speed modem, DSL, and ISDN connections will perform
at full speed on a HomeLink network. The HomeLink Phoneline Network
Card gives you the perfect tool to bring the benefits of networking into your
home or office.
NNoottee::
Due to standard telephone cable limitations, HomeLink
HomePNA devices require that your cabling does not exceed a
total length of 500 feet for your entire network.
