DHN-120 Installation Guide and Networking Basics
The D-Link DHN-120 is ideal for the small office or home office
environment. The DHN-120 enables you to add your computer to a network.
After completing the steps in this manual, you will have the ability to share
information and resources - such as files and printers - and take full advantage
of a "connected" environment for work and play!
The DHN-120 comes with drivers for the most popular operating systems and
can be integrated into a larger network. This Quick Starter Guide is designed
to help you install the DHN-120 and connect the computer to a network
running Windows 98 or Windows 2000.
The HomePNA standard allows you to connect computers and devices at
speeds up to 10 Mbps. The DHN-120 is based on the newest HomePNA 2.0
standard. Older Network Cards, based on HomePNA 1.0, support speeds up
to 1 Mbps. The DHN-120 is backwards compatible with HomePNA 1.0
products as well.
This Quick Starter Guide will take you through the steps of planning your
network, installing the network hardware and software, and setting up
Windows properly to use basic networking functions like printer and file
sharing and playing network games. Take a moment to read through this
manual and familiarize yourself with the steps necessary to complete the
installation process. The entire process should take from one to two hours of
your time. But, you should also give yourself some time to play with your
new network!
