your Barricade. Click “Enter” to start the process.

8. The LAN screen is where you configure the Local Area Network settings of your
Barricade. Unless you have an existing network with Domain information there is no
reason to change these settings. Click “Enter” to complete this step.

configure it for the Internet connection with the information provided by your ISP.
10. This screen has no information necessary for configuration. Please click on “Enter” to
complete this step.

11. The next few steps will be to configure the Barricade router for Internet access. There
are generally two different configurations used by most ISP’s.
•If you use a DSL Modem your ISP probably requires you to manually
enter your TCP/IP settings. If you have a DSL connection or if you know
you use a Static IP address please move to “Part B - Configuring Your
Barricade for Static IP Address”.
•If you connect to the Internet using a Cable Modem your ISP provider
probably used DHCP to issue an IP address to you. If you use a cable
modem or you know that the ISP uses dynamic IP address please move to
“Part C - Configuring Your Barricade for a Dynamic IP Address.
Part B – Configuring Your Barricade for Static IP Addressing.

1. Select “Static IP Address” and click on “More Configuration”
2. Enter the IP Address, subnet mask and gateway provided to you by your ISP in
the appropriate fields. Click “Enter” when finished.
A Domain Name Server (DNS) is like an index of names and Web addresses. If you type
a Web address into your browser, such as www.whitehouse.gov, a DNS server will find
that name in its index and find the matching IP address: 198.137.240.92. Most ISPs
provide a DNS server for speed and convenience. Since you are connecting to the

Internet with static IP settings, it is likely that your ISP also provided DNS server
addresses.

finished.
Part C – Configuring Your Barricade for Dynamic IP Addressing.
1. Select “Dynamic IP Address” and Click “More Configuration.

Part D – Upgrading the Firmware in Your Barricade.
IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN MULTIPLE VPN TUNNELS YOU MUST update your
firmware to VERSION 140018 or later!
Upgrades for your Barricade Broadband are readily available on the Internet at
www.smc.com. They are stored in compressed format to minimize the time it takes to
download. The files take one of two forms.
1. “Zipped” format – this format requires you to have special software in order to extract
the update files.
2. “Self-extracting” format – this format does not require any special software in order to
extract the files.
The preferred form to download is “Self-extracting”. This will eliminate the necessity of
having special software to extract the files.
When you downloaded the latest update you execute the self-extracting file and it will
create a directory with the name “SMC” and place the extracted files in this directory.
The actual update file has the extension of .DLF This will be important later on in this
process.
Once you have completed the download and extraction process you can start the
Firmware Update Process.
1. To Upgrade the Firmware in your Barricade you must Login to the Barricade and
begin from the main menu screen. Select “Tools” from the menu.
