Simply connect the Cordless Gateway to a 10Base-T cabling hub using the
10Base-T cable included in the product package.
In this configuration, each Ethernet and cordless computer will have the
ability to share files and printers with the all other members of the cordless
and Ethernet networks.
For example, if you have an existing wired Ethernet, you may add a Cordless
Gateway to give network connectivity to a laptop that has a Symphony-HRF
PC Card installed.
By default, the Cordless Gateway performs both Network Address Transla-
tion (NAT) and Transparent Bridging. Depending on the configuration of
your network, you may want to disable the NAT function.
See Chapter 7 for information on how to configure the Cordless Gateway and
for more information on File and Printer Sharing.
Note:
The Cordless Gateway is designed to provide connectivity to
small Ethernet networks. It cannot support more than eight (8)
devices on its Ethernet port. Do NOT connect the Cordless
Gateway to a cabling hub that has more than eight (8) Ethernet
devices attached.
Connectivity to an Ethernet Network
That Provides Shared Internet Access
As discussed above, a Cordless Gateway can link a Symphony Cordless
Network to a wired Ethernet network.
In addition, if you have an existing device on the Ethernet network that
provides high-speed Internet access to each of the Ethernet workstations,
then the cordless computers will also be able to share this Internet connec-
tion. Examples of high-speed devices include a cable modem, a DSL
modem, or an ISDN router.
Figure 3 illustrates how a Cordless Gateway may be used to connect a
cordless network to a small, wired Ethernet network.
