This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that the interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment
does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient the receiving antenna
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to

ringer equivalence number (REN) for this equipment. If requested, this information must be
provided to the telephone company.
This equipment uses the following USOC jacks: RJ-11C.
The REN is used to determine the quantity of devices that may be connected to the
telephone line. Excessive RENs on the telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in
response to an incoming call. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs should not
exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to the line, as
determined by the total RENs, contact the telephone company to determine the maximum
REN for the calling area.
If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify
you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. If advance notice is
not practical, the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you
will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary.

Congratulations on your purchase of the Barricade Wireless Broadband
Router with built-in ADSL Modem (SMC7404WBRA EU). We are proud
to provide you with a powerful yet simple communication device for
connecting your local area network (LAN) to the Internet. For those who
want to surf the Internet in the most secure way, this Router provides a
convenient and powerful solution.
About the Barricade
The Barricade provides Internet access to multiple users by sharing a
single-user account. Support is provided for both wired and wireless
devices. New technology provides wireless security via WEP (Wired
Equivalent Privacy) encryption and MAC address filtering. It is simple to
configure and can be up and running in minutes.
Features
• Internet connection via an RJ-11 WAN port.
• Local network connection via four 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports.
• On-board IEEE 802.11b 11 Mbps wireless network adapter.
• DHCP for dynamic IP configuration, and DNS for domain name
mapping.
• Firewall with Stateful Packet Inspection, client privileges, intrusion
detection, and NAT.

• NAT also enables multi-user Internet access via a single user account,
and virtual server functionality (providing protected access to Internet
services such as Web, FTP, e-mail, and Telnet).
• VPN pass-through (IPSec-ESP Tunnel mode, L2TP, PPTP).
• User-definable application sensing tunnel supports applications
requiring multiple connections.
• Easy setup through a Web browser on any operating system that
supports TCP/IP.
• Compatible with all popular Internet applications.

Applications
Many advanced networking features are provided by the Barricade:
• Wireless and Wired LAN
The Barricade provides connectivity to wired 10/100 Mbps devices,
and wireless IEEE 802.11b compatible devices, making it easy to
create a network in small offices or homes.
• Internet Access
This device supports Internet access through a DSL connection.
Since many DSL providers use PPPoE or PPPoA to establish
communications with end users, the Barricade includes built-in clients
for these protocols, eliminating the need to install these services on
your computer.
• Shared IP Address
The Barricade provides Internet access for up to 253 users via a single
shared IP address. Using only one ISP account, multiple users on your
network can browse the Web at the same time.
•VirtualServer
If you have a fixed IP address, you can set the Barricade to act as a
virtual host for network address translation. Remote users access
various services at your site using a constant IP address. Then,
depending on the requested service (or port number), the Barricade
can route the request to the appropriate server (at another internal IP
address). This secures your network from direct attack by hackers, and
provides more flexible management by allowing you to change
internal IP addresses without affecting outside access to your
network.

• DMZ Host Support
Allows a networked computer to be fully exposed to the Internet.
This function is used when NAT and firewall security prevent an
Internet application from functioning correctly.
• Security
The Barricade supports security features that deny Internet access to
specified users, or filter all requests for specific services the
administrator does not want to serve. The Barricade’s firewall also
blocks common hacker attacks, including IP Spoofing, Land Attack,
Ping of Death, IP with zero length, Smurf Attack, UDP port
loopback, Snork Attack, TCP null scan, and TCP SYN flooding. WEP
(Wired Equivalent Privacy), SSID, and MAC filtering provide security
over the wireless network.
• Virtual Private Network (VPN)
The Barricade supports three of the most commonly used VPN
protocols – PPTP, L2TP, and IPSec. These protocols allow remote
users to establish a secure connection to their corporate network. If
your service provider supports VPNs, then these protocols can be
used to create an authenticated and encrypted tunnel for passing
secure data over the Internet (i.e., a traditionally shared data network).
The VPN protocols supported by the Barricade are briefly described
below.
• Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol – Provides a secure tunnel for
remote client access to a PPTP security gateway. PPTP includes
provisions for call origination and flow control required by ISPs.
• L2TP merges the best features of PPTP and L2F. Like PPTP,
L2TP requires that the ISP’s routers support the protocol.
• IP Security – Provides IP network-layer encryption. IPSec can
support large encryption networks (such as the Internet) by using
digital certificates for device authentication.
