ABOUT THE WIRELESS
BARRICADE ROUTER
Congratulations on your purchase of the Wireless Barricade™
Broadband Router. SMC is proud to provide you with a powerful
yet simple communication device for connecting your local area
network (LAN) to the Internet.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION !
For DSL-User without a flat rate contract.
With your DSL-router you have received a device of high quality,
which allows you fast and easy access to the Internet.
The factory default settings of this router have been done in a
way to provide you with uninterrupted access and use of the
Internet. With this background for cost reasons we recommend
that you enter into a "flat rate" - contract with your DSL-line
provider.
Why should you do that?
Please consider that a router, an entirely independent working
device, does not switch off automatically when shutting off your
PC!
You may trigger such an automatic shut-off by setting a so called
"idle-time" (for details consult your manual at PPPoE or PPTP
WAN access configuration). Depending at the set time (1 to 5
min) the router cuts the DSL-link when idle, indeed. But this still
does not provide for 100% security.

This disconnect only happens if there are no more open requests
received from either the LAN or the WAN side (here this can be
requests from the internet, i.e. initiated through the use of so
called file sharing programs like eMule, eDonkey, etc.) that keep
the router active.
In order to counter such incalculable activity and protect yourself
from higher than expected on-line costs we therefore recommend
again a flat-rate contract for your DSL-connection.
The only safe alternative: Pull the plug!
That is to disconnect your router from the mains.
Please feel free to contact our SMC-hotline if you have further
questions.
** flat-rate is an offer of your DSL-line provider, which gives you
timely unlimited access to the Internet at a defined (flat-) rate.

Hardware Description
The Wireless Barricade can be connected to the Internet using
its RJ-45 WAN port . It can be connected directly to your PC or to
a local area network using any of the Fast Ethernet LAN ports.
Access speed to the Internet depends on your service type.
Full-rate ADSL can provide up to 8 Mbps downstream and
640 Kbps 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 Router, 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. It also provides 4 RJ-45
LAN ports on the front panel, as well as one RJ-45 WAN port.
Full-duplex communications allow data to be sent and received
simultaneously, doubling the effective throughput.
