Description Networking your computers at home has never been easier. The Zoom/HomeLAN family of products plugs into standard phone jacks for fast, affordable networking without the cost and inconvenience of running cables. Households with more than one PC can now swap files, share a printer or other equipment, play networked games and share Internet access. Zoom/HomeLAN does not disrupt normal phone use. Your telephone or fax machine plugs into a phone jack on the Zoom /HomeLAN PCI and can be used normally even while computers are actively networked on the same phone line. The jack is filtered to improve network performance and guard against noise and interference. Zoom/HomeLAN transmits and receives data at a fast 1 Megabit per second rate. That's about 30 times faster than a modem and nearly as fast as a heavily trafficked office network. Zoom/HomeLAN is certified by the HomePNA (Phoneline Networking Alliance). So, Zoom/HomeLAN will talk to any other computer equipped with HomePNA compatible network devices. A Zoom/HomeLAN PCI card can also be used as a 10BASE-T network interface card, which provides flexibility should networking needs change. Zoom/HomeLAN PCI is simple to install. The card plugs into a computer's PCI slot and is connected by a normal phone cable to a residential phone line. Included software makes wizard-assisted setup and configuration quick and easy. Zoom/HomeLAN works on nearly any computer, even older 486-based models. All that's required is an available PCI slot, a CD-ROM drive (for software installation) and a hard drive. One Zoom/HomeLAN card, or compatible card, is needed for each computer on the network.
