About Phoneline Networking

HomePNA 1.0 is a standard as defined and ratified by the Home Phoneline

Networking Association (HomePNA). Currently The DHN-520 was designed

around the proposed iLine10standard as accepted by the HomePNA on July

27, 1999 as the basis for HomePNA 2.0.

Home Phoneline Networking allows a home user to build a network utilizing their

standard home phone lines. It removes the need to install separate hardware or

specialty cables as is required by other networking technologies. With a full 10Mb

of bandwidth, the data throughput speed is effectively 150-200 times faster than a

V.90 modem.

This technology will allow a Microsoft Window 95 OSR2, Windows 98, Windows

Me, Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 user to quickly share files and printers.

With additional software a user may also play multi-player network games and

share Internet access.
