3. Connecting the Barricade with other hubs:
In case you do not need to connect with another hub, skip this step.
If you want to connect the Barricade with another hub, connect one of the ports 1-7 to
that hub by crossover Ethernet cable. If the hub you connected has an UPLINK port,
you can also connect the Barricade with straight-through Ethernet cable to that
UPLINK port.
4. Connecting the Barricade with your printer: use the printer cable to connect your
printer to the printer port of the Barricade.
5. Power on:
Byconnecting the power cord to power inlet and turning the power switch on, the
Barricade will automatically enter the self-test phase. When it is in the self-test phase,
the indicatorsM1 and M2 will be lit ON for about 5 seconds, and then M1 and M2 will
be flashed 3 times to indicate that the self-test operation has finished. Finally, the M1
will be continuously flashed once per second toindicate that the Barricade is in normal
operation.
