Supported Configurations
During installation, the Symphony Composer Installation Wizard will attempt 
to automatically identify your Symphony network’s configuration type.  Listed 
below are the four supported configurations for a Symphony HomeRF adapter: 
A Wireless Network Using the Symphony HomeRF Base Station
A Wireless Network Sharing a Modem
A Wireless Network Communicating with Another Network (e.g., an 
Ethernet network)
A Peer-to-Peer Wireless Network
All four options will establish file and printer sharing among computers but 
each provides a different degree of connectivity to the Internet or to a small 
Ethernet network.
If you have a Symphony HomeRF Base Station, please refer to the Symphony 
HomeRF Base Station User’s Manual
 for installation and configuration infor-
mation.
This manual describes the installation and configuration of a network that con-
sists of  Symphony HomeRF adapters only.  In other words, any Symphony 
HomeRF network that does not include the Symphony HomeRF Base Station.
Wireless Network Sharing a Modem
A Symphony network may be configured to allow one computer to share its 
Internet access with the other members of the network.  If you already have an 
internal or external dial-up modem connected to one of your computers or an 
external DSL or cable modem, which is connected to an Ethernet card 
installed in one of your computers, then you can share this modem with the 
rest of the wireless computers, as depicted below:
