Getting to Know the Broadband
Network Bridge
Rear Panel Ports
Uplink Share your Internet access over your entire phoneline network
by connecting to your DSL or Cable modem through the
Broadband Bridge's uplink port. The uplink port can also connect to Ethernet devices such as hubs, routers, and switches.
If the uplink port is occupied, the port to its direct right (Port
3) will be inoperable. Any connections made through Port 3
will be lost.
10BaseT Connect an Ethernet PC (or any other Ethernet device) to
your HomeLink phoneline network through one of the
10BaseT ports. If you plan on using Port 3, the Uplink port
will become unavailable.
HomeLink Use the HomeLink port to daisy-chain your Broadband
Bridge to your HomeLink network. This por t is configured as
a pass-through port, meaning that the network data travels
into the Bridge through one side of the HomeLink port, then
continues out the other. Connect one HomeLink telephone
cable into one side of Port 1, then continue (with another
cable) to your next HomeLink device through the port's other
side. See page 7 of this User Guide for further information.
Power Connect your power adapter to your Broadband Bridge
through the Power port.
