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.
A Cordless Gateway Connected to an Ethernet Network
That Has Limited Internet Access
If your Ethernet network does not provide shared Internet access and your
ISP has assigned you a limited number of IP addresses so that there are not
enough IP addresses allocated for each Ethernet and cordless computer, then
you can use the Cordless Gateway in NAT mode to provide Internet connec-
tivity to the entire cordless network using a single IP address.
In this configuration, a Cordless Gateway connects to a hub on an Ethernet
network, as shown below.
The network should consist of a number of computers each with a
Symphony-HRF or Symphony adapter installed and a Cordless Gateway
connected to a hub with no more than 8 Ethernet devices attached.
A device that provides high-speed Internet access, such as an ISDN router,
cable modem, or DSL modem, may also be connected to the hub or may be
attached directly to one of the Ethernet computers.
In this type of configuration where the ISP has assigned you a limited
number of IP addresses, make the following changes to the Cordless Gateway
and cordless computers:
Changes to the Cordless Gateway’s Topology Parameter
No change is required to this parameter.
