❑ Transporting a Laptop Computer From the Home to the Office.
Shut down the computer and eject the Symphony PC Card from the PCMCIA
slot and take the computer to the office. Insert your office network card or
place the computer in its docking station, if it has one. Turn on the computer
and select the Original Profile (or another Profile you have created specifi-
cally for the office) at the Switcher DOS prompt. The Network Switcher will
restore all of your office LAN’s settings during boot-up and the laptop will
be ready to communicate with the office LAN without further configuration.
Alternatively, you can change the Network Profile setting by right-clicking
the Network Switcher icon or by clicking the <Switch> button in the
Switcher configuration screen and restarting the computer when prompted.

❑ Transporting a Laptop Computer Between a RangeLAN2
Network and a Symphony Network. Follow the instructions in Appendix B
to install the Symphony software on a laptop that already has a RangeLAN2
Card installed and configured. After the Symphony software has been
installed, the laptop will be set to the Symphony Network Profile and will
communicate with the Symphony Cordless Network. To revert back to the
RangeLAN2 settings, simply change the Network Profile from “Symphony”
to “Original” using one of the three switching techniques. The Network
Switcher will restore all of the RangeLAN2 settings, and the computer will be
ready to communicate with the RangeLAN2 network without any additional
configuration. To reestablish communication with the Symphony Cordless
Network, simply change the Network Profile back to “Symphony” using one
of the three switching techniques and restart if prompted. After the laptop
restarts or completes it boot-up process, it will communicate with the
Symphony Cordless Network.
Note:
If you intend to install Symphony software on a computer that
already has a RangeLAN2 Card installed, refer to Appendix B
for specific installation instructions.
