Connectivity to a Network Server
You may also connect the Cordless Gateway to an existing Ethernet network
that contains a network server, such as a Windows NT server, to allow
Symphony-enabled computers to act as network clients.

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 that are 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, Symphony-enabled computers should have the same
client/server and file sharing capabilities as any existing wired clients on the
network. The Cordless Gateway performs Transparent Bridging to link the
two networks so that to each node there appears to be only one local area
network (LAN). By default, the Cordless Gateway performs both Network
Address Translation (NAT) and Transparent Bridging. Depending on the
configuration of your network, you may want to disable the NAT function.

Note:
The Cordless Gateway is designed to provide connectivity to
small Ethernet networks. It cannot support more than eight (8)
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

In addition, if you do not have an existing network and desire only to
connect cordless clients to one stand-alone server, you can also attach the
Cordless Gateway directly to the server. Simply connect the Cordless
Gateway to an Ethernet card installed in the server using a standard 10BaseT
cable. You will have the same functionality between the server and cordless
clients as described above.
