Connectivity to an Ethernet Network
Which Has High-Speed Internet Access
Which Has High-Speed Internet Access
As discussed above, an Cordless Gateway can link a Symphony Cordless
Network to a wired Ethernet network. In addition, if you have an existing
device on the wired network which provides high-speed Internet access to
each of the Ethernet workstations, then the Symphony-enabled computers
will also be able to share this Internet connection. Examples of high-speed
devices include a cable modem, an ADSL modem, or an ISDN router.

Simply connect the Cordless Gateway to the 10BaseT cabling hub using the
10BaseT crossover cable included in the product package. In order to
connect two devices both wired like a hub together, you must use a 10BaseT
crossover cable. See Appendix A for more information on the Cordless
Gateway’s cabling requirements.

In this configuration, the Cordless Gateway may perform Network Address
Translation (NAT), Transparent Bridging, or both. By default, the Cordless
Gateway will perform both tasks, but depending on your network configura-
tion, you may wish to change this setting within the Symphony Maestro
Configuration Tool. For example, if you already have an Internet-sharing
software package, such as a proxy server program, installed on the network,
you may configure the Cordless Gateway to perform Transparent Bridging
only and then configure the Symphony-enabled computers with TCP/IP
