COMPLIANCES
Federal Communication Commission Interference
Statement
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 the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that 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 of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help
FCC Caution: To assure continued compliance, (example - use only shielded
interface cables when connecting to computer or peripheral devices) any changes
or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment. This device complies
with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a
minimum distance of 20 centimeters (8 inches) between the radiator and your
body. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter.
SMC declared that SMCWBR14-G is limited in CH1~11 from 2400 to 2483.5 MHz
by specified firmware controlled in USA.

Industry Canada - Class B
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1) this device may not cause interference and
2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause
undesired operation of the device
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emissions
from digital apparatus as set out in the interference-causing equipment standard
entitled “Digital Apparatus,” ICES-003 of the Department of Communications.
Cet appareil numérique respecte les limites de bruits radioélectriques applicables
aux appareils numériques de Classe B prescrites dans la norme sur le matériel
brouilleur: “Appareils Numériques,” NMB-003 édictée par le ministère des
Communications.
This device has been designed to operate with an antenna having a maximum
gain of 1.43 dBi.
Antenna having a higher gain is strictly prohibited per regulations of Industry
Canada. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain
should be so chosen that the EIRP is not more than required for successful
communication.
To prevent radio interference to the licensed service, this device is intended to be
operated indoors and away from windows to provide maximum shielding.
Equipment (or its transmit antenna) that is installed outdoors is subject to
licensing.

Hardware Description
The Wireless Barricade can be connected to the Internet or to a
remote site using its WAN port. It can be connected directly to
your PC or to a local area network using any of the Fast Ethernet
LAN ports.
Although access speed to the Internet is determined by your
service type and the modem type connected to the Wireless
Barricade, data passing between the devices connected to your
local area network can run up to 100 Mbps over the Fast
Enternet 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 four
RJ-45 LAN ports and one RJ-45 WAN port on the rear panel.
•Four Ethernet 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.

System Requirements
•Internet access from your local telephone company or Internet
Service Provider (ISP) using a DSL modem or cable modem.
•A PC using a fixed IP address or dynamic IP address
assigned via DHCP, as well as a gateway server address and
DNS server address from your service provider.
•A computer equipped with a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or
10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet card, or a USB-to-Ethernet
converter.
•TCP/IP network protocol installed on each PC that needs to
access the Internet.
•A Java-enabled web browser, such as Microsoft Internet
Explorer 5.5 or above, Firefox 1.0 or Mozilla 1.7 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.

Connect the System

Basic Installation Procedure
1. Connect the LAN: Connect the Wireless Barricade to your
PC, or to a hub or switch. Run Ethernet cable from one of the
LAN ports on the rear of the Wireless Barricade to your
computer’s network adapter or to another network device.
You may also connect the Wireless Barricade to your PC
(using a wireless client adapter) via radio signals.
2. Connect the WAN: Use an Ethernet cable for connecting the
Wireless Barricade
to a cable/xDSL modem or Ethernet router.
3. Power on: Connect the power adapter to the Wireless
Barricade.

Attach to Your Network Using Ethernet Cabling
Use twisted-pair cable to connect any of the four LAN ports on
the Wireless Barricade to an Ethernet adapter on your PC.
Otherwise, you can cascade any of the LAN ports on the
Wireless Barricade to an Ethernet hub or switch, and then
connect your PC or other network equipment to the hub or
switch. When inserting an RJ-45 plug, be sure the tab on the plug
clicks into position to ensure that it is properly seated.
Warning: Do not plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45
port. This may damage the Wireless Barricade.
Instead, use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45
connectors that conform with FCC standards.
