HomePNA 1.0 is a standard defined and ratified by the

Home Phoneline Networking Association (HomePNA).

Currently HomePNA 2.0 is scheduled to be ratified in the

fourth quarter of 1999. The DHN-520 was designed around

the proposed iLine10standard, which was accepted by

the HomePNA on July 27, 1999 as the basis for HomePNA

2.0. At the time of this manual’s printing HomePNA 2.0 has

not been officially ratified.

Home Phoneline Networking allows a home user to build a

network utilizing their standard home phonelines. It

removes the need to install separate hardware or specialty

cables as is required by other networking technologies.

With a full 10 megabits per second (Mbps) of bandwidth,

the data throughput speed is effectively 150-200 times

faster than a V.90 modem.

This technology will allow a Microsoft Windows 95 OSR2,

Windows 98 or Windows NT (and the future Windows 2000)

user to quickly share files and printers. Users can play

multi-player network games and share Internet access by

using additional software.

Under ordinary circumstances, your D-Link DHN-520

will not be affected by static charges such as may be

received through your body during handling of the

unit. In special circumstances where you might carry

an extraordinarily high static charge, it is good

practice to reduce the charge by touching a

grounded object before handling the adapter.

Open the shipping carton and carefully remove all items. In

addition to this user's guide, ascertain that you have:

• One DHN-520 home phoneline network adapter.

• One DHN-520 software CD.

• One phoneline cable.

• One D-Link DHN-520 User’s Guide (this manual)

Standard phoneline cable can be used to either connect the

adapter to a phoneline wall jack, or to another adapter. It is

important to note that when two adapters are connected

directly, a second cable must be used to connect the

computers to an active phoneline. The adapter requires the

voltage running in an active phoneline to operate properly.

On account of the great variety of network environments for

which the DHN-520 may be used, and revisions of those

network systems, the instructions for software installation

are given as HELP files on the DHN-520 Software CD.

Review the root directory HELP for overview information,

and for full installation details, see the HELP and

referenced instruction files in the sub-directory appropriate

to your network operating system.

Additionally, on the Driver CD we have provided an HTML

manual designed for our DHN-910 10-Mbps Home

Phoneline Network in a Box. It is an HTML rendered copy

of the full Quick Starter Guide that accompanies the

network kit. Simply open the StartHere.htm file in the

/Manual subdirectory provided on the CD to launch and
