1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing Proxim’s Symphony HomeRF Base Station, a mem-
ber of the Symphony HomeRF 2.0 Network. Proxim has been a market leader
in the wireless networking industry for over ten years providing award-win-
ning technology to companies and individuals around the world. You can
expect this same reliability from the Symphony HomeRF 2.0 products in your
home and/or small office.
The Symphony HomeRF Base Station interoperates with Symphony HomeRF
adapters to deliver reliable, hassle-free networking for your laptops and desk-
tops without wires or cabling. A Base Station connected to a cable modem,
DSL modem, or ISDN router can provide broadband Internet access to wire-
less computers. Alternatively, you can connect the Base Station to an existing
Local Area Network (LAN) to provide wireless computers with the same net-
work connectivity as your wired Ethernet clients.
With the Symphony HomeRF 2.0 Network, laptops become free of wires and
cables so you can check e-mail, surf the Internet, or exchange files from any-
where in your home or backyard! Desktop computers in hard to wire locations
can now enjoy connectivity with the rest of the network.
This manual provides all of the information necessary to install and configure
not only the Symphony HomeRF Base Station, but also the Symphony
HomeRF adapters that you will use in conjunction with this device. However,
you may want to refer to the manual that shipped with each adapter for addi-
tional information and troubleshooting suggestions.
