Configuring TCP/IP Settings for the Cordless Gateway
The Cordless Gateway does not require any TCP/IP configuration when
configured to operate in Transparent Bridging mode only.
TCP/IP Configuration for Cordless Computers in
Transparent Bridging Only Topologies
In order for Ethernet computers and cordless computers to communicate as
part of the same LAN, you must configure all devices (Ethernet and
Symphony) to use the same IP network.
By default, a Symphony adapter is configured to accept an IP address from a
DHCP server. If a DHCP server is not present, then the adapter will automati-
cally configure itself with an IP address in the 169.254.0.0 network (this
address range is reserved for private networks and is not valid on the
Internet).
If your Ethernet network uses DHCP to assign dynamic IP addresses, refer to
the section below entitled “Networks That Use Dynamic Addressing” for
configuration instructions.
If your Ethernet network uses static IP addresses, refer to the section below
entitled “Networks That Use Static Addressing” for configuration
instructions.
Note:
A Symphony-HRF or Symphony adapter acts like a standard
Ethernet card once installed. The adapter can use any existing
IP address scheme already in use by Ethernet devices and can
also be configured to use any additional networking protocols,
such as NetBEUI or IPX/SPX, already installed on the network.
