NAT requires that the Cordless Gateway use two IP addresses, one to commu-
nicate with the ISP’s network and the Internet and one to communicate
internally with the cordless network.
In addition, the Cordless Gateway acts as a DHCP server to automatically
assign IP addresses within the same internal IP network to the cordless
computers (which are configured to accept a dynamic address by default).
By default, the Cordless Gateway is assigned an internal IP address of
10.0.0.1 and a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0.
If your ISP or Ethernet network is using the 10.0.0.0 IP network, then the
Cordless Gateway’s default internal IP settings will conflict with this other
network’s IP settings. In this case, the Cordless Gateway will automatically
detect this conflict and change its IP address and subnet mask to new values.
Note:
The range of IP addresses assigned to cordless computer by the
Cordless Gateway will also change based on the new IP address
and subnet mask.
Given the above, there should be no need to change the Cordless Gateway’s
IP address and subnet mask. However, if you desire to change these param-
eters, follow these steps:
1.
Open the Symphony Maestro Configuration Tool on one of the
cordless computers.
2.
Click the <Configure> button under the Symphony-HRF Cordless
Gateway Network heading.
3.
Select the Internal TCP/IP Settings tab within the Cordless Gateway
Configuration screen, as shown in the following example.
