SMC will endeavor to repair or replace any product returned under warranty within 30 days of receipt of the product.
The standard limited warranty can be upgraded to a Limited Lifetime* warranty by registering new products within 30 days of purchase from SMC or its Authorized Reseller. Registration can be accomplished via the enclosed product registration card or online via the SMC web site. Failure to register will not affect the standard limited warranty. The Limited Lifetime warranty covers a product during the Life of that Product, which is defined as the period of time during which the product is an “Active” SMC product. A product is considered to be “Active” while it is listed on the current SMC price list. As new technologies emerge, older technologies become obsolete and SMC will, at its discretion, replace an older product in its product line with one that incorporates these newer technologies. At that point, the obsolete product is discontinued and is no longer an “Active” SMC product. A list of discontinued products with their respective dates of discontinuance can be found at: http://www.smc.com/index.cfm?action=customer_service_warranty.

NTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the 802.11n ADSL2 BarricadeTM, hereafter referred to as the “Barricade”. 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. It is simple to configure and can be up and running in minutes.
The Barricade is compliant with the next generation IEEE 802.11n draft v2.0 specification while maintaining full backwards compatibility with the current 802.11b/g standards.
1
802.11n builds upon previous 802.11 standards by adding MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output). MIMO uses multiple transmitter and receiver antennas to allow for increased data throughputs for up to 300 Mbps.
This provides sufficient bandwidth to stream HD video, listen to digital music, play online games, transfer large files, make VoIP calls and surf the Internet simultaneously.

Features and Benefits
Intergrated ADSL modem for connecting to ADSL line
Fully backward compatible with 802.11 g/802.11 b networks
Wireless speeds up to 300 Mbps.
Increased speed and coverage - up to 5 times the speed of 802.11g
Local network connection via four 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports
DHCP for dynamic IP configuration, and DNS Proxy/Relay 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:
Wired and Wireless LAN
The Barricade provides connectivity to 10/100 Mbps devices, and wireless connection speed up to 300 Mbps. This router is fully compliant with specifications defined in IEEE 802.11b, IEEE
802.11g and IEEE 802.11n draft v2.0 standards, making it easy to create a network in small offices or homes.
Internet Access
This device supports Internet access through an ADSL connection. Since many DSL providers use PPPoE 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
A
PPLICATIONS
Using only one ISP account, multiple users on your network can access the Internet at the same time.
Virtual Server
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 that 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.
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.
