Step 3: Installing Cables DHN-910 Quick Starter Guide & Networking Basics This kit contains two normal phone cables, each 15 feet in length. If you need a longer cable, they are sold at most electronics stores. If you want to use a phone on the same phone jack, we recommend that you purchase a splitter for the jack.
! | If you plan to use 2 or more phone jacks, make sure that they are (1) active and (2) on the same line (the same phone number). The Home Phoneline adapters will NOT interfere with your normal phone, analog modem, or DSL modem but they do require an active phone line to work.
With the power off on your computers, run the first cable from your card directly to the phone jack. If you have two available phone jacks on the same line (telephone number) then simply repeat this step for any other machines you would like to add to your home phoneline network like the picture below: If you plan to have two computers in the same room and only have one phone jack, you can "daisy chain" the computers together. Simply run your first phoneline cable from one of the computers to an available, active phone line. Then run the second cable from the second port of the first computer to one of the ports on the second computer. Just like the picture below: Congratulations: The hardware is ready to be configured into a network.
