Congratulations on the purchase of your new Barricade. The Barricade provides
shared storage, shared printer usage, and shared Internet access to both Macintosh
and Windows users on your LAN.
Barricade Features
♦Create or Extend your LAN. The built-in 7-port switching hub supports
10BaseT and 100BaseTX to allow connection of any existing devices, while the
10/100BaseT Uplink port provides for connection to another hub.
♦Supports Windows and Macintosh. Clients can be either Microsoft Win-
dows PCs (Windows 95, 98, ME, NT4.0, 2000), or Apple Macintoshes.
♦Built-in Print Server. LAN users - both Windows and Mac - can share the
printer attached to the Barricade, converting it to a "Network Printer".
♦No Client Software. No software needs to be installed on either Windows or
Macintosh clients.
♦File Management using OS tools. Once your PC has access to the Barri-
cade, you can manage your folders and files using the familiar tools provided by
your operating system. For example, Windows users will see the Barricade as
an additional drive in Windows Explorer and My Computer.
♦DHCP Server Support. A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
Server provides a dynamic IP address to PCs and other devices upon request.
The requesting devices are called DHCP Clients.
The Barricade can act as either a DHCP Server OR a DHCP Client.
♦Multi Segment LAN Support. If you have a Router, PCs on other LAN
segments can also use the Barricade.
♦Easy Setup. A Quickset Windows program is provided to allow speedy con-
figuration of the Barricade
♦Full Administrator Control over Disk Usage. The LAN Administrator can
control usage of the Barricade's disk storage by the following means:
•Users: To control access to the Barricade, each user has a password
The Administrator can also limit the Disk Storage available to a user.
•Groups: Users are organized into Groups. A user can be in many Groups.
•Shares: A "Share" is a folder (directory) on the Barricade which a User
Group can access. Only the Barricade Administrator can create Shares.
(Users can create folders within the Share.)
•Access Rights: Access to Shares can be Read-Only, Read-Write, or No Ac-
cess. Conveniently, access to Shares is set by Group, not by individual user.
♦Remote Management. The Barricade can be managed from a workstation
anywhere on the LAN, using a WEB browser.

♦Internet Access. The Internet Access feature allows all LAN users to share a
single Internet Account, using either the serial port (for analog modem or ISDN
TA) or the WAN port (for ADSL or Cable modems). The built-in firewall pro-
tects your LAN against external attacks.
♦Advanced Internet Features. The Barricade incorporates a number of ad-
vanced features to add value to your Internet Access:
•Special Applications allows LAN users to use non-standard applications
such as Video-conferencing, Instant Messaging, and other 2-way Internet
applications.
•Virtual Servers allows Internet users to access Web, E-Mail, FTP and
other Servers on your LAN, while still sharing the IP Address provided by
your ISP.
•Filtering functions provide protection for LAN users. You can block high-
risk components such as ActiveX controls. Also, the Site Filter feature al-
lows you to create your own lists of "Allowed" and "Banned" sites. And the
"Log" function can record any attempted accesses which are blocked by the
Site Filter.

Connections and Components
All connections and switches are on the rear panel. Please take a few minutes to fa-
miliarize yourself with your new Barricade.
Figure 1: Barricade Rear Panel
Power Switch This is a spring-loaded "Soft Switch".
If Off, press once to turn On.
If On, press once to start the Disk Shutdown sequence.
During Shutdown, the Ready LEDs will blink.
100Base LEDs These LEDs match the LAN (Hub) connectors. If the
matching LAN connector is using 100BaseT, the LED will
be ON. If using 10BaseT, the LED will be OFF.
LAN (Hub) ports These Ethernet connectors are for the PCs and other devices
on your LAN. Both 10BaseT and 100BaseT connections can
be used simultaneously.
Note: If Port 7 is used, then the "Uplink" port (see below)
can NOT be used.
Uplink Port Use this port only to connect to a standard port on another
Hub. The other Hub can be either 10BaseT or 100BaseT.
Note: If the "Uplink" port is used, then Port 7 can NOT be
used.
Link LEDs These LEDs match the LAN (Hub) connectors. If the
matching LAN connector is in use, the LED will be ON.
Power Input Connect the supplied power adapter here.

Reset IP Button
(IP/Password) If the Barricade's IP Address or password is lost, press and
release this button. The Barricade will beep once to indicate
the reset has occurred.
The Barricade password will be cleared, and its IP Address
set to the default value of 192.168.123.254, with a Network
Mask of 255.255.255.0
You can then connect to the Barricade and set the correct IP
Address and password.
WAN Port Connect your ADSL or Cable modem here.
This Ethernet port supports 10BaseT and 100BaseT, and has
2 built-in LEDs. The amber LED (on the left) indicates a
100BaseT connection. The green LED (on the right) indi-
cates a 10BaseT connection.
Printer Port Standard parallel printer port. A printer connected here
becomes a "network printer", and can be shared by Win-
dows and Macintosh users.
Serial Port Standard serial port. Connect an analog modem or ISDN TA
here if you wish to provide shared Internet access to LAN
users via the serial port.
LEDs (Front Panel)
There are five (5) status LEDs on the front panel, as follows:
Ready Normally ON.
This blinks during Startup or Shutdown, and turns OFF after the
shutdown is completed.
Error
(Amber) Normally OFF.
However, it will be On during the power-on self test. Once the
self-test is completed, it will turn OFF. If it stays ON, there is a
hardware error.
During a software upgrade, both the Ready and Error LEDs
will blink.
Disk Full Normally OFF.
Blinking indicates the disk is 98% full.
ON indicates the disk is completely full.
Disk Flashes during normal operation, when the Hard Disk is ac-
cessed.
WAN Flashes when data is transmitted or received via the WAN
(Internet Access) port

Buzzer
The buzzer will beep as follows:
♦1 Beep - Reset button or power switch is pressed.
♦2 Beeps (Repeated every 5 seconds for 1 minute) - Barricade is a DHCP client,
but no DHCP Server responded to the DHCP client request.
♦3 Beeps (Repeated every 15 seconds for 3 minutes) - Hard disk usage exceeds
98%.
♦5 Beeps (Repeated every 15 seconds for 3 minutes) - Overheating; automatic
shutdown will start 3minutes after 1st beep.

Requirements
♦Ethernet Network employing 10BaseT or 100BaseTX.
♦TCP/IP protocol.
LAN Installation
1. Connect Network Devices
♦Use standard LAN cables to connect any existing devices to the Barricade's
LAN (Hub) ports. The Barricade will accept 10BaseT or 100BaseTX, and full
or half duplex. All types may be used simultaneously.
♦If required, use a standard LAN cable to connect the Barricade's "Uplink" port
to a standard port on another Hub. The other Hub can be either 10BaseT or
100BaseT. Note that if using the "Uplink" port, port 7 on the Barricade can
NOT be used.
2. Connect Printer and Modem
♦If you wish to share a printer, use a standard printer cable to connect the printer
to the Barricade's parallel port.
♦If you wish to provide shared Internet access via the Barricade, connect your
modem:
•If using an Analog Modem or ISDN TA, use a standard serial cable to con-
nect your modem to the Barricade's serial port.
•If using an ADSL Modem or Cable modem, connect the modem to the Bar-
ricade's WAN port. Use the cable supplied with your Modem. If no cable
was provided, use a standard LAN cable.
3. Connect Power
♦Connect the supplied power adapter to a power outlet and the Barricade.
♦Press and release the rear-mounted power switch to begin the start-up proce-
dure.
4. Check the boot process
♦During the self-test (2 or 3 seconds), ALL of the LEDs will be ON.
♦During the boot process, the Ready, Error and Disk Full LEDs will be ON.
♦Once the boot process is completed, the Ready LED should be ON and the
Error LED should be OFF. If the Error LED stays On, there is a hardware
problem. Repeated beeps also indicate a failure to boot correctly.
