Identification
Identification configures the Computer Name, DNS Suffix, Workgroup affilia-
tion, and Domain affiliation for the selected profile. If you are unfamiliar
with these settings, Proxim recommends that you leave these parameters at
their default value. For Windows 2000 users, Proxim recommends that
you
configure the computer to operate in a Workgroup rather than a Domain to simplify file
sharing on a peer-to-peer network.
For more information, refer to the File Sharing
With Windows 2000 technical note on the Symphony Web site at
http://www.proxim.com/symphony/.
Wireless
Wireless configures the wireless networking parameters. Other than Security
Code, none of the displayed parameters are applicable to the Symphony
HomeRF adapters (these parameters are for Symphony-HRF, Symphony, and
RangeLAN2 products).
TCP/IP
TCP/IP configures the TCP/IP parameters that the computer will use for the
selected profile. The TCP/IP parameters include IP Address, Subnet Mask,
DNS configuration, Gateways configuration, Proxy Server settings, and WINS
configuration. If you are unfamiliar with these settings, Proxim recommends
that you leave these parameters at their default value.
IPX/SPX
The IPX/SPX option configures the IPX/SPX parameters that the computer
will use for the selected profile. IPX/SPX is a network protocol like TCP/IP.
By default, the wireless network does not use this protocol, but it may be used
on other networks. If you are unfamiliar with these settings, Proxim recom-
mends that you leave these parameters at their default value.
File/Printer Sharing
The File/Printer Sharing option configures the drive mappings and default
printer that the computer will use when operating in the selected profile.
The File/Printer Sharing screen allows you to create, delete, or edit drive map-
pings (also known as remote drive shares) that are automatically established by
the computer when operating in the selected profile.
