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.
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.
FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
FCC - Part 68
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. This equipment comes with a label
attached to it that contains, among other information, the FCC registration number and
ringer equivalence number (REN) for this equipment. If requested, this information must be
provided to the telephone company.
This equipment uses the following jacks: RJ-11.
The REN is used to determine the quantity of devices that may be connected to the
telephone line. Excessive RENs on the telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in
response to an incoming call. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs should not
exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to the line, as
determined by the total RENs, contact the telephone company to determine the maximum
REN for the calling area.

NTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the 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, the Barricade 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 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet
devices. It is simple to configure and can be up and running in minutes.
Features and Benefits
• Built-in ADSL2/2+ modem - supports download speeds up to
24 Mbps
• Local network connection via 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port
or USB port.
• DHCP for dynamic IP configuration, and DNS for domain name
mapping
• Firewall with Stateful Packet Inspection, client privileges, intrusion
detection, and NAT
I
NTRODUCTION
1-2
• 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, email, and Telnet)
• QoS (Quality of Service) support
• Easy setup through a web browser on any operating system that
supports TCP/IP
Applications
Many advanced networking features are provided by the Barricade:
• 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.
• 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.
A
PPLICATIONS
1-3
•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.

ISP Settings
Please collect the following information from your ISP before setting up
the Barricade:
• ISP account user name and password
• Protocol, encapsulation and VPI/VCI circuit numbers
•DNS server address
• IP address, subnet mask and default gateway (for fixed IP users only)
Connect the System
The 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 Barricade away from any heating devices.
• Do not place the 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 Barricade.
Connecting the ADSL Line
Connect the splitter to the phone line and the phone to the phone port of
the splitter. Using the black RJ-11 cable provided connect the ADSL port
of the Barricade to the ADSL port of the splitter. Refer to the below
illustration.

Figure 2-3. Connection Illustration
The splitter is required for connecting your Barricade and phone to the
same phone line. If you have a dedicated phone line for ADSL connect the
Barricade directly to the phone line.
Note: To prevent high frequency ADSL signals interfering with
telephone calls, each phone must be connected to the same phone
line through a splitter (also known as an ADSL microfilter).

TCP/IP Configuration
To access the Internet through the Barricade, you must configure the
network settings of the computers on your LAN to use the same IP subnet
as the Barricade. The default IP settings for the Barricade are:
IP Address: 192.168.2.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Note: These settings can be changed to fit your network requirements,
but you must first configure at least one computer to access the
Barricade’s web configuration interface in order to make the
required changes. (See “Configuring the Barricade” on page 4-1
for instruction on configuring the Barricade.)
