Each configuration is described in detail below. Also, see Chapter 7 for more
information on how to configure the cordless network in each of these
scenarios.
Connectivity to a Cable Modem, DSL Modem, or ISDN Router
The Symphony-HRF Cordless Gateway can communicate with an external
Ethernet device to share high-speed Internet access with each computer on
the cordless network.
Figure 1 illustrates an example of this networking configuration. The
diagram shows a Symphony-HRF Cordless Gateway connected to a cable
modem with an Ethernet cable.
The Cordless Gateway links the high-speed Internet device and the cordless
computers, so that each computer (laptops and desktops) on the cordless
network has simultaneous Internet access and can share files and printers.
