as 1-2-3 with the TII HNP6L-ET device. Whether you are connecting two computers together

or extending your existing network, the TII HNP6L-ET comes with drivers for the most popular
operating systems: Windows 98SE, 2000, ME, and XP…

All TII devices are designed and manufactured to meet TII’s high quality standards and industry
organizations’ (i.e. HomePlug Powerline Alliance, IEEE, FCC, and UL) rigorous specifications
and world-class quality standards.

Computer networking in the office or at home has the following advantages:

1. Share centrally stored data

2. Share one printer

3. Multi-access to one Internet connection
