NTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the ADSL BarricadeTM g, 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. Support is provided for both wired and wireless devices. New technology provides wireless security via Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption and MAC address filtering. It is simple to configure and can be up and running in minutes.

Features and Benefits

• Internet connection to an ADSL modem via an RJ-11 ADSL port

• Local network connection via four 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports

• On-board IEEE 802.11g wireless network adapter

• DHCP for dynamic IP configuration, and DNS for domain name

mapping

1-1

NTRODUCTION

• 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:

• Wireless and Wired LAN

The Barricade provides connectivity to 10/100 Mbps devices, and wireless IEEE 802.11g compatible devices, 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 or PPPoA 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.

1-2

PPLICATIONS

• Shared IP Address

The Barricade provides Internet access for up to 253 users via a single shared IP address. Using only one ISP account, multiple users on your network can browse the web 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. WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), SSID, and MAC filtering provide security over the wireless network.

1-3

NTRODUCTION

• 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.

The Barricade contains an integrated ADSL modem and connects to the Internet or to a remote site using its RJ-11 WAN port. It 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 640 kbps upstream. G.lite (or splitterless) ADSL provides up to 1.5 Mbps downstream and 512 kbps upstream. However, you should note that the actual rate provided by specific service providers may vary dramatically from these upper limits.

Data passing between devices connected to your local area network can run at up to 100 Mbps over the Fast Ethernet ports and 54 Mbps over the built-in wireless network adapter.

NSTALLATION

Attach to Your Network Using Ethernet Cabling

The four LAN ports on the Barricade auto-negotiate the connection speed to 10 Mbps Ethernet or 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet, 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.

Notes: 1. Use 100-ohm shielded or unshielded twisted-pair cable with

RJ-45 connectors for all Ethernet ports. Use Category 3, 4, or 5 for connections that operate at 10 Mbps, and Category 5 for connections that operate at 100 Mbps.

2. 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

In case of a power input failure, the Barricade will automatically restart and begin to operate once the input power is restored.
