4. After you have made changes to a profile’s network settings, click the
<Save Changes> button.
5. Restart the computer when prompted.
Each of the configuration headings is described below.
Identification
Identification configures the name, workgroup designation, and description
that the computer will use for the selected profile. Windows 2000 Professional
users can also configure the computer’s Domain or workgroup affiliation
within this screen.
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
The TCP/IP option configures the TCP/IP parameters that the computer will
use for the selected profile. The TCP/IP parameters include IP Address, Sub-
net 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 or contact your
network administrator for assistance.
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.
