also assign the computer the workgroup designation of “WORKGROUP.” If

the computer already has an existing workgroup name, this name will be

overwritten and saved in the Original Network Profile.

During installation, each Symphony Card is configured to accept an IP

Address assignment from the Cordless Gateway, which acts as a DHCP server.

For more information about this, refer to the section entitled “Configuring

the Internal TCP/IP Settings.” To find out what address has been assigned,

select the “Run” option under the Start Menu and type “WINIPCFG” in the

field labeled “Open.” This will launch the Windows IP Configuration tool.

In the example below, the Symphony Adapter has been assigned an IP

Address of 169.254.0.103 with a Subnet Mask of 255.255.0.0. All Sym-

phony Cards will be automatically assigned a Subnet Mask of 255.255.0.0.

In addition, each Symphony Card is assigned a default Gateway of

169.254.0.1 and a DNS Server address of 169.254.0.1. 169.254.0.1 is the

Cordless Gateway’s default IP Address that it uses to communicate with

Symphony clients when performing NAT. These settings allow the comput-

ers on the Symphony Cordless Network to simultaneously access the Internet

via a Cordless Gateway configured to perform NAT.

For most networks, you should not need to change the TCP/IP parameters for

the Symphony Adapters. However, some network configurations, discussed

below, require that you change both the IP Addresses of the Symphony

Adapters and the operating mode of the Cordless Gateway.
