Home Phoneline Networking Alliance One type of wired network is called HPNA (short for Home Phoneline Networking Alliance, and also known as HomePNA). This type of network uses the telephone wiring in your home, while not interfering with normal telephone operation. This allows you to set up a network without having to worry about running additional wiring. Your iPAQ Music Center supports HomePNA 2.0, which allows for transfer speeds of up to 10 Mbps...the same speed as many Ethernet networks. A communications gateway can be a PC running Internet sharing software such as Microsoft's Internet Connection Sharing ("ICS" is included with Windows 98 second edition, and later versions of Windows). The communications gateway can also be a dedicated device such as Compaq's Connection Point. Refer to your ICS or equivalent documentation to set up your PC or device as a communication gateway. Connecting the Music Center to HPNA 1. Disconnect the telephone cable (if any) between the modem jack on the iPAQ Music Center and the telephone wall jack. 2. Connect a telephone cable between the HPNA jack on the iPAQ Music Center and the telephone wall jack (optimal home phoneline networking performance requires a minimum telephone cable of 6 ft.).
