Configuration Examples
The following examples provide configuration information for a number of
different network architectures supported by the Symphony-HRF Cordless
Gateway. Refer to the heading below that corresponds to the type of
network you have installed for configuration instructions.
A Cordless Gateway Connected Directly to a Device That Provides
High-Speed Internet Access
If you have a device which provides high-speed Internet access, such as an
ISDN router, external cable modem, or external xDSL modem, connected
directly to a Symphony-HRF Cordless Gateway, then the network should
consist of a number of computers each with a Symphony Adapter installed
and a Cordless Gateway connected to the high-speed Internet device.
In this configuration, the following changes are required:
Changes to Cordless Gateway’s Topology Parameter. No change is
required to this parameter. However, changing the Cordless Gateway mode
so that it performs NAT only (instead of both NAT and Transparent Bridging)
will not adversely affect network operation.
Changes to Cordless Gateway’s TCP/IP Parameters. If your ISP uses
DHCP to assign IP Addresses, then no changes to the configuration are
necessary. However, if your ISP has assigned you static TCP/IP information
(IP Address, Subnet Mask, default Gateway, and DNS Server addresses), then
you need to configure the Cordless Gateway’s ISP TCP/IP parameters as
described in the “Configuring the ISP TCP/IP Settings” section earlier in this
chapter.
Changes to Cordless Gateway Clients. No change is required for computers
that have a Symphony Adapter installed.
