10Mb HomePNA Adapter
The D-Link DHN-120 is an HomePNA 2.0 compliant 10Mb
Home Phoneline Network Adapter specifically designed to plug
into an available Universal Serial Bus USB port connecting to a
desktop or laptop PC running Microsoft Windows 98 or Windows
2000. It is a complete out of the box solution for that represents
the simplest way to add 10Mb HomePNA-compliant networking
to a computer.
The HomePNA2.0 specification outlines a transport method by
which sustainable data rates of 10 Megabits per second can be
achieved over normal in-homephoneline wiring. Additionally this
technology is backwards compatible with HomePNA 1.0 1 Mbps
products. The DHN-120 marries this technology to USB to
provide the fastest and most advanced out-of-the box home
networking solution.
The DHN-120 has three ports. The USB type B port allows the
unit to be located up to 15 feet away from a USB hub or USB
enabled computer. The two RJ-11’s can be used to connect to the
home phoneline, directly to another HomePNA device, or may be
used as a pass through for a telephone or modem.
Power for the DHN-120 is provided directly by the USB bus,
negating the need for an external power adapter. It can be plugged
into any USB host or hub port that provides 500mA of current as
defined in the USB specifications 1.0 and 1.1 as a high-powered
USB device. The DHN-120 supports USB’s energy saving
suspend and resume functions to minimize power consumption.
Diagnostic LEDs are mounted on the top of the device to provide
theuser with power stateand current Linkand Traffic statusfor the
LAN connection. Packaged with all necessary manuals, a 6-foot
USB ‘A’to ‘B’ cable, and a driver CD, the DHN-120 ensures that
the user is able to easily and quickly install and use the device
directly out of the box.

simplest way to add 10Mb HomePNA-
compliant networking to a computer
