Hardware Description
The Barricade Router can be connected to the Internet or to a
remote site using its RJ-45 WAN port or RS-232 serial port. It can
be connected directly to your PC or to a local area network using
any of the Fast Ethernet LAN ports. It can also function as a print
server.
Access speed to the Internet depends on your service type.
Full-rate ADSL can provide up to 8 Mbps downstream and
640 Mbps upstream. G.lite (or splitterless) ADSL provides up to
1.5 Mbps downstream and 512 Kbps upstream. Cable modems
can provide up to 36 Mbps downstream and 2 Mbps upstream.
ISDN can provide up to 128 Kbps when using two bearer
channels. PSTN analog connections can now run up to 56 Kbps.
However, you should note that the actual rate provided by
specific service providers may vary dramatically from these
upper limits.
Although access speed to the Internet is determined by the
modem type connected to your Barricade Router, data passing
between devices connected to your local area network can run
up to 100 Mbps over the Fast Ethernet ports.
The Barricade Router includes an LED display on the front panel
for system power and port indications that simplifies installation
and network troubleshooting. It also provides 4 RJ-45 LAN ports
on the front panel, as well as one RJ-45 WAN port, one RS-232
serial port and one parallel printer port on the rear
panel.Full-duplex communications allow data to be sent and
received simultaneously, doubling the effective throughput.

Hardware Description

•4 RJ-45 ports for connection to a 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX
Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN). These ports can
auto-negotiate the operating speed to 10/100 Mbps, the mode
to half/full duplex, and the pin signals to MDI/MDI-X
(i.e., allowing these ports to be connected to any network
device with straight-through cable). These ports can be
connected directly to a PC or to a server equipped with an
Ethernet network interface card, or to a networking device
such as an Ethernet hub or switch.
•One RJ-45 port for connection to a DSL or cable modem
(WAN). This port also auto-negotiates operating speed to
10/100 Mbps, the mode to half/full duplex, and the pin signals
to MDI/MDI-X.
•One RS-232 serial port to connect to an ISDN Terminal
Adapter (TA) or to a PSTN analog modem.
•One parallel printer port that can be connected to a printer.
This printer can then be shared by any LAN users.

use the same IP subnet as the Barricade Router. The default
network settings for the Barricade Router are:
Gateway IP Address: 192.168.2.1

Configuring Client TCP/IP
12
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Note: These settings may be changed to suit your network
requirements, but you must first configure at least one
computer as described in this chapter to access the
Barricade Router’s Web configuration interface.See
“Configuring the Barricade Router” on page 25 for
information on configuring the Barricade Router.)
If you have not previously configured TCP/IP for your computer,
refer to“Configuring Client TCP/IP” on page 9. The IP address of
the connected client PC should be 192.168.2.x (where x means
2–254). You can set the IP address for client PCs either by
automatically obtaining an IP address from the Barricade
Router’s DHCP service or by manual configuration.
Configuring Your Computer in Windows 95/98/Me
You may find that the instructions here do not exactly match your
version of Windows. This is because these steps and
screenshots were created in Windows 98. Windows 95 and
Windows Millennium Edition are very similar, but not identical, to
Windows 98.
1. From the Windows desktop, click Start/Settings/Control
Panel.
2. In the Control Panel, locate and double click the Network icon.
