The serial number is located on the underside of the Symphony-HRF
Cordless Gateway. Enter the last six digits of the serial number and click
<Next>. The Symphony Composer should now be able to communicate with
the Cordless Gateway and should perform a link test. Click <Next> to
continue.
However, if problems persist, try moving the Cordless Gateway and the
computer closer together; the computer may be out of range of the Cordless
Gateway. Also, you may want to contact Symphony Technical Support for
assistance and additional suggestions.
Step 3: Configure TCP/IP Information
When configuring the first Symphony-enabled computer on a network, the
Cordless Gateway will request IP Addressing information from your ISP’s
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server.
