HPNA 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 wired network uses the same wiring in your home that your telephones use, while not interfering with normal telephone operation. This allows you to set up a network without having to worry about running additional wiring. HomePNA 2.0, a type of HPNA networking, allows for transfer speeds of up to 10 Mbps, the same speed as many Ethernet networks. Your iPAQ Music Center supports HomePNA 2.0 via the internal HPNA jack. 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, Windows Me or Windows 2000). 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. If your PC is the communications gateway, you may have to set its power management configuration so that it does not power down automatically. See also ... For more details, see Step 2 (HPNA Setup) in the Quick Setup Poster. Note: "Wireless telephone jack" products in the store do NOT work with HPNA; a physical telephone cable to the telephone wall jack is required. Connecting the iPAQ Music Center 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.). 9-2 HOME NETWORKING FOR IPAQ MUSIC CENTER IPAQ MUSIC CENTER-GETTING STARTED
