Cordless Network Sharing High-Speed Internet Access
To use the Cordless Gateway in this configuration, you need an account with
an Internet Service Provider (ISP) and one of the following pieces of equip-
ment that you will connect directly to the Cordless Gateway with a 10Base-T
Ethernet cable:
G
An external cable modem;
G
An external DSL device, such as an ADSL modem;
G
An ISDN router; or
G
Any other external Ethernet device that can provide high-speed
Internet access to a network.
Note that these devices must be external, stand-alone units that support 10
Mbps Ethernet and have an RJ-45 10Base-T connector; devices which use a
different networking technology, such as ATMF-25, will not communicate
with the Cordless Gateway. For a similar reason, ISDN terminal adapters
cannot be used with the Cordless Gateway because they do not communicate
over Ethernet and do not have a 10Base-T Ethernet port.
In this configuration, the Cordless Gateway performs a function known as
Network Address Translation or NAT. The ISP assigns a single IP address to
