Configuring a Cordless Network to Use NAT
A Cordless Gateway uses NAT to provide Internet access to all computers on
the cordless network using one IP address from the ISP (Internet Service
Provider).
NAT requires that the Cordless Gateway use two sets of TCP/IP parameters:
one set provided by the ISP to communicate with the Internet (also known as
the ISP TCP/IP Settings) and a second set to communicate internally with the
cordless network (also known as the Internal TCP/IP Settings).
Refer to the sections below for information on how to configure these TCP/IP
settings.
Also, refer to the section entitled “TCP/IP Configuration for Cordless
Computers in NAT Topologies” for information on the TCP/IP settings that
the cordless client computers obtain from the Cordless Gateway.
Configuring the ISP TCP/IP Settings
The Symphony-HRF Cordless Gateway performs Network Address Transla-
tion (NAT) to allow multiple cordless computers simultaneous access to the
same high-speed Internet connection. This function requires that the
Cordless Gateway be assigned an IP address obtained from your ISP.
The Cordless Gateway supports three methods to establish communication
with the ISP and the Internet: Dynamic IP addressing using DHCP, Static IP
addressing, and PPPoE.
During installation, the Symphony Composer Installation Wizard will
provide you with an opportunity to assign a static IP address or configure the
Cordless Gateway to accept a dynamic IP address. If your ISP uses PPPoE,
then you must configure these settings within the Symphony Maestro
Configuration Tool.
