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.

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.

1-1

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)

NTRODUCTION

• 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

1-2

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

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.

1-3

NTRODUCTION

• 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.

Hardware Description

The Barricade contains an integrated ADSL2+ modem and connects to the Internet or to a remote site using its WAN port. This device can be connected directly to your PC or to a local area network using any of the four Fast Ethernet LAN ports.

Access speed to the Internet depends on your service type. Full-rate ADSL provides up to 8 Mbps downstream and 1 Mbps upstream. G.lite (or splitterless) ADSL provides up to 1.5 Mbps downstream and 512 kbps upstream. ADSL2+ Provides up to 24 Mbps downstream and 1 Mbps upstream. However, you should note that the actual rate provided by specific service providers may vary dramatically from these upper limits.

NSTALLATION

Data passing between devices connected to your local area network can run at up to 100 Mbps over the Fast Ethernet ports. Data rates up to 300 Mbps are possible with the 802.11n function enabled.

The Barricade includes an LED display on the front panel for system power and port indications that simplifies installation and network troubleshooting.

ONNECT THE SYSTEM

Attach to Your Network Using Ethernet Cabling

The four LAN ports on the Barricade auto-negotiate the connection speed to 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps, as well as the transmission mode to half duplex or full duplex.

Use RJ-45 cables to connect any of the four LAN ports on the Barricade to an Ethernet adapter on your PC. Otherwise, cascade any of the LAN ports on the 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 connector, be sure the tab on the connector clicks into position to ensure that it is properly seated.

Warning: Do not plug a phone jack connector into an RJ-45 port. This

may damage the Barricade.

Note: Use 100-ohm shielded or unshielded twisted-pair cable with RJ-45

connectors for all Ethernet ports. Category 5 cable is recommended. Make sure each twisted-pair cable length does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).

Connect the Power Adapter

Plug the power adapter into the power socket on the rear of the Barricade, and the other end into a power outlet.

Check the power indicator on the front panel is lit. If the power i not lit, refer to
