1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing Proxim’s Symphony-HRF Cordless Gateway, a
member of the Symphony Cordless Networking Suite. Proxim has been a
market leader in the wirefree networking industry for over ten years provid-
ing award-winning wirefree technology to companies and individuals around
the world. You can expect this same reliability from the Symphony Cordless
products in your home and/or small office.
The Symphony-HRF Cordless Gateway interoperates with Symphony and/or
Symphony-HRF adapters to deliver reliable, hassle-free networking for your
laptops and desktops without the use of wires or cables. With the addition of
the Cordless Gateway to a Symphony Cordless Network, you can provide
high-speed Internet access to cordless computers from a cable modem, DSL
modem, or ISDN router or you can connect cordless computers to an existing
Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN).
With the Symphony Cordless Networking Suite, laptops become free of wires
and cables so you can check e-mail, surf the Internet, or exchange files from
anywhere in your home or backyard! Desktop computers in hard to wire
locations can now enjoy connectivity with the rest of the network.
This manual provides all of the information necessary to install and config-
ure not only the Symphony-HRF Cordless Gateway, but also the
Symphony-HRF or Symphony adapters that you will use in conjunction with
this device. However, you may want to refer to the manual that shipped with
each adapter for detailed installation and troubleshooting instructions.
