Hardware Description
The Wireless Barricade may 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 three Fast Ethernet LAN ports or through the wireless
interface. It also functions as a print server.
Access speed to the Internet depends on your service type.
Full-rate ADSL provides 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
provide up to 36 Mbps downstream and 2 Mbps upstream. ISDN
provides up to 128 Kbps when using two bearer channels. And
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.
Though Internet access speed is determined by the modem type
connected to your Wireless Barricade, data passing between
devices connected to your local area network can run up to 100
Mbps over the Fast Ethernet ports.
The Wireless Barricade includes an LED display on the front
panel for system power and port indications that simplifies
installation and network troubleshooting.

Installing the Wireless Barricade

On the rear panel, the Wireless Barricade provides:
•Three 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 RJ-45 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 an xDSL or Cable modem.
This is a 10/100 Mbps, full duplex port, Use a Category 3 or
higher cable to connect this WAN port to a xDSL or Cable
modem.
•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/WLAN users.
•Two external antennas (dipole, omni-directional).

System Requirements
You should meet the following minimum requirements.
•Internet access from your local telephone company or ISP
using an xDSL modem, Cable modem, ISDN TA, or PSTN
analog modem. You may also have access over the telephone
system to an analog modem at another site.
•A PC using a fixed IP address or dynamic IP address
assignment via DHCP, as well as a Gateway server address
and DNS server address from your service provider.

modem, or an Ethernet router to this port.
LAN Ports Fast Ethernet ports (RJ-45). Connect devices on your local
area network to these ports (such as a PC, hub, or switch).
Power
Inlet Connect the included power adapter to this inlet.
Warning: The included power adapter is DC 9 V/1 A. Using
the wrong type of power adapter may cause damage.

•For wired LAN connection, you need a computer equipped
with a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet
card,or a USB-to-Ethernet converter. For wireless LAN
connections, each computer must have an IEEE 802.11b
compatible wireless adapter.
•TCP/IP network protocols installed on each PC that needs to
access the Internet.
•A Java-enabled Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet
Explorer 5.0 or above, or Netscape Communicator 4.0 or
above installed on one PC at your site for configuring the
Wireless Barricade.
Connect the System
The Wireless Barricade can be positioned at any convenient
location in your office or home. No special wiring or cooling
requirements are needed. You should, however comply with the
following guidelines:
•Keep the Wireless Barricade away from any heating devices.
•Do not place the Wireless Barricade in a dusty or wet
environment.
You should also remember to turn off the power, remove the
power cord from the outlet, and keep your hands dry when you
install the Wireless Barricade.
Basic Installation Procedure
1. Connect the LAN: You can connect the Wireless Barricade to
your PC, or to a hub or switch. Run Ethernet cable from one
of the LAN ports of the Wireless Barricade to your computer’s
network adapter or to another network device.

Installing the Wireless Barricade
10
You may also connect the Wireless Barricade to your PC
(using a wireless client adapter) via radio signals. Position
both antennas on the back of the Wireless Barricade into the
desired positions.
For more effective coverage, you may want to position one
antenna along the vertical axis and the other antenna along
the horizontal axis. (The antennas emit signals along the
toroidal plane – and thus provide more effective
coverage when positioned along alternate axes.)
2. Connect the WAN: Prepare an Ethernet cable for connecting
the Wireless Barricade to a cable/DSL modem or Ethernet
router. Prepare a serial cable for connecting the Wireless
Barricade to an ISDN TA or PSTN modem.
3. Connect your printer: Use standard parallel printer cable to
connect your printer to the printer port on the Wireless
Barricade.
4. Power on: Connect the power adapter to the Wireless
Barricade.
