FCC Part 68 Registration
This devic e compli es wit h FCC Par t 68 ru les, and the u se of
this device is subject to the following restrictions:
The FCC has established rules which permit this device to be
directly connected to the telephone network. Standardized
jacks are used for these connection s. This equip ment should
not be used on party lines or coin phones.
If this device is malfunctioning, it may also be causing harm
to the telephone network; this device should be
disconnected until the source of the problem can be
determined and until repair has been made. If this is not
done, the telephone company may temporarily disconnect
service.
The teleph one company may mak e changes in it's faci lities,
equipment, operation and pr ocedures; i f such changes affect
the compatibility or use of this device, the telephone
company is requi red to give adequ ate notice of the s ituation
with the FCC.
If the telephone company requests information on what
equipment is connected to their lines, inform them of:
a. The telephone number to which this unit is connected.
b. The Ringer E quivalence Numb er (REN).
c. The USOC jack required.
d. The FCC Registra tion number.
Items (b) and (d) are indicated on the label. The Ringer
Equivalence Number (REN) is used to determine how many
devices can be connected to your telephone line. In most
areas, the su m of th e R EN 's of a ll t h e d evic es on an y one li n e
should not exceed 5.0 . If too ma ny devi ces a re a ttach ed, they
may not ring properly.

INTRODUCTIONS
The USB 1M HomePNA & 10/100 Fast Ethernet
brings the latest technology of instant
connectivity to multiple PCs over a home's
existing telephone line s. You can network any
notebook computer by connecting it to any
standard phone line. No switches, hubs, or even
any additional cables is needed - the network
runs on standard home-grade telephone wires
just like the ones you use everyday.
This USB device is equipped with two standard
RJ-11 telephone ports and a 10/100 dual-speed
Fast Ethernet port. You can connect to any
1Mbps home phone network or any
10BaseT/100BaseTX network without swapping
devices or running multiple adapters at once. The
adapter connects to your Windows 98 computer
via USB (Universal Serial Bus), you can enjoy
the advantage of true plug-and-play connections
through a single interface.
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. The home
phone networking runs on regular telephone
cables, so there’s no extra hardware to buy. Just
plug it into any standard wall jack and you’re
networked!
The USB 1M HomePNA & 10/100 Fast Ethernet
complies the HomePNA specification which lets
your phone line carry computer data as well as
regular telephone voice service. Every standard
1 -
telephone jack in the home is capable of hosting
a PC - you can connect up to 25 computers, thus
transforming the home's telephone wiring into an
easily expa ndable network.

home phone network
About Home Phone Networking Technology
The USB 1M HomePNA & 10/100 Fast Ethernet
utilizes a technology known as Frequency
Division Multiplexing (FDM) which essentiall y
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 frequencies can
2 -
coexist on the same telephone line without
impacting one another.
The 1 Megabit-per-second (one million bits-persecond) data rate is 18 times that of the fastest
analog modems available, which run at 56Kbps.
Even high-speed modem, DSL, and ISDN
connections will perform at full speed on a home
network.
Note: Because of the limitations of
standard telephone cables, Home
Phone Networking devices require that
your cabling does not exceed a total
length of 500 feet for your entire
network.
