The Maestro tool has two functions: it monitors the current state of both the
cordless network and the Cordless Gateway, and it allows the user to
reconfigure the cordless network and Cordless Gateway parameters.
Below is a brief overview of the key features incorporated into the Maestro
Configuration Tool when using the Symphony-HRF Cordless Gateway.
Refer to the Online Help documentation for additional details on how to use
each of these features and for information on additional features not dis-
cussed below.
Maestro Features for the Cordless Gateway
The Symphony Maestro allows you to configure and monitor the following
Cordless Gateway functions:
Monitor the State of the Cordless Gateway
On the main page of the Maestro Configuration Tool, under the “Symphony-
HRF Cordless Gateway” heading, there is a picture of the Cordless Gateway
which will change color to reflect different states of connectivity. When the
Cordless Gateway icon is turquoise, the Symphony-enabled computer is
successfully communicating with the Cordless Gateway. When the Cordless
Gateway icon is red, the computer cannot communicate with the Cordless
Gateway, typically because the Cordless Gateway is not operational, the
computer is out of range, or the Security Codes do not match.
Note that the Symphony icon in the Windows System Tray will also change
color to reflect different states of radio connectivity.
Configure the Cordless Gateway to allow Internet Sharing
The Cordless Gateway can perform both Transparent Bridging and Network
Address Translation (NAT). By default, the Cordless Gateway performs both
these functions and will accept an IP Address from a DHCP server.
You may change these values by clicking the <Configure> button under the
Symphony-HRF Cordless Gateway heading. From this screen, you may
configure the Cordless Gateway with static TCP/IP settings assigned by your
ISP and configure the device to perform NAT, Transparent Bridging, or both.
