If the Cordless Gateway connects to a hub on an existing Ethernet network
that does not have shared Internet access (or you do not want to provide the
cordless computers with Internet access), then your network should look
something like the following:
The network should consist of a number of computers each with a
Symphony-HRF or Symphony adapter installed and a Cordless Gateway
connected to either a hub with no more than 8 Ethernet devices attached or
to a single stand-alone Ethernet-ready computer.
The following changes are required for either one of these configurations:
Changes to the Cordless Gateway’s Topology Parameter
Configure the Cordless Gateway so that it performs Transparent Bridging
only.
See the section entitled “Configuring the Topology Parameter” earlier this
chapter for details.
Changes to the Cordless Gateway’s TCP/IP Parameters
There is no change required for these parameters.
Changes to Cordless Gateway Clients
If you have a DHCP server on your network, then no change is necessary
since the cordless computers will automatically receive an address assign-
ment from the Ethernet network’s DHCP server.
If you do not have a DHCP server on the Ethernet network, then you must
configure the TCP/IP settings on each cordless computer as if you were
adding additional Ethernet computers to the network.
See the section entitled “TCP/IP Configuration for Cordless Computers in
Transparent Bridging Only Topologies” for details.
