Congratulations on becoming the owner of the ADSL Barricade,
a 4-port ADSL Router with built-in ADSL Modem. Your LAN (Local
Area Network) will now be able to access the Internet using your
high-speed ADSL connection. This User Guide will show you how
to set up the ADSL Barricade, and how to customize its
configuration to get the most out of your new product.
Features
•
External ADSL modem for high-speed Internet access.
•
10/100Base-TEthernet router to provide Internet connectivity
to all computers on your LAN.
•
Network address translation (NAT), Firewall, and IP filtering
functions to provide security for your LAN.
•
Network configuration through DHCP Server and DHCP Relay.
•
Services including IP route and DNS configuration, RIP,
and IP and DSL performance monitoring.
•
Configuration program you access via an HTML browser.

Introduction
System Requirements
In order to use the ADSL Barricade, you must have the following:
•
ADSL service up and running on your telephone line,
with at least one public Internet address for your LAN.
•
One or more computers each containing an Ethernet
10/100 Base-T network interface card (NIC).
•
An Ethernet hub/switch, if you are connecting the device
to more than one computer on an Ethernet network.
•
For system configuration using the supplied web-based
program: a web browser such as Internet Explorer V5.0
or later, or Netscape V6.1 or later.

This Quick Start provides basic instructions for connecting
the ADSL Barricade to a computer or LAN and to the Internet.
•
Connecting the Hardware describes how to set up the hardware.
•
Configuring Your Computers describes how to configure
Internet properties on your computer(s).
•
Configuring the ADSL Barricade shows you how to configure
basic settings on the ADSL Barricade to get your LAN
connected to the Internet.
This Quick Start assumes that you have already established
an ADSL service with your Internet service provider (ISP).
These instructions provide a basic configuration that should
be compatible with your home or small office network setup.
Refer to the subsequent chapters for additional configuration
instructions.

You connect the device to the wall phone jack, the power outlet,
and your computer or network.
Warning:
Before you begin, turn the power off for all devices.
These include your computer(s), your LAN hub/
switch (if applicable), and the ADSL Barricade.

Step 1. Connect the ADSL cable
Connect one end of the provided phone cable (RJ-11) to the port
labeled ADSL on the Rear Panel of the device. Connect the other
end to your wall phone jack.
You can attach a telephone line to the device. This is helpful
when the ADSL line uses the only convenient wall phone jack.
If desired, connect the telephone cable to the port labeled Phone
Warning:
Although you use the same type of cable, the ADSL
and Phone ports are not interchangeable. Do not
route the ADSL connection through the Phone port.
Note:
ADSL splitters/microfilters are included with some
models.

Step 2. Connect the Ethernet cable
If you are connecting a LAN to the ADSL Barricade, attach one end
of a provided Ethernet cable to a regular hub port and the other to
the Ethernet port on the ADSL Barricade. If you are using the ADSL
Barricade with a single computer and no hub, you must use an
Ethernet cable to attach the PC directly to the device. The cable is
wired differently than the cable you would use to connect to a hub.
Step 3. Attach the power connector
Connect the AC power adapter to the Power connector on the back
of the device and plug in the adapter to a wall outlet or power strip.
Step 4. Power up your systems
Turn on and boot up your computer(s) and any LAN devices
such as hubs or switches.
Configuring Your Computers
This section provides instructions for configuring
settings on your computers to work with the ADSL Barricade
Before you begin
By default, the ADSL Barricade automatically assigns all required
Internet settings to your PCs. You need only to configure the PCs
to accept the information when it is assigned.
Note:
In some cases, you may want to assign Internet
information manually to some or all of your computers
rather than allow the ADSL Barricade to do so. See
Assigning static Internet Information to your PCs on
page 16 for instructions.

Quick Start
Assigning static Internet Information to your PCs
In some cases, you may want to assign Internet information to
some or all of your PCs directly (often called statically), rather
than allowing the ADSL Barricade to assign it. This option may
be desirable (but not required) if:
•
You have obtained one or more public IP addresses that
you want to associate with specific computers (for example,
if you are using a computer as a public web server).
•
You maintain different subnets on your LAN (subnets are
described in IP Addresses, Network Masks, and Subnets).
Before you begin, be sure to have the following information on hand
(or contact your ISP if you do not know it):
•
The IP address and subnet mask you will assign to each
PC which will be assigned static IP information.
•
The IP address of the default gateway for your LAN. In most
cases, this is the address assigned to the LAN port on the ADSL
Barricade. By default, the LAN port is assigned this IP address:
[192.168.1.1.] (You can change this number, or another number
c
an be assigned by your ISP.) See Configuring the LAN Ports
on page 33
for more information.
•
The IP address of your ISP's Domain Name System
(DNS) server.
On each PC you will assign static information, follow the
instructions on pages 11 through 16 specific to the IP protocol.
Once it is installed, continue to follow the instructions for
displaying each of the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) properties.
Instead of enabling dynamic assignment of the IP addresses for
the computer, the DNS server, and the default gateway, click the
radio buttons that enable you to enter the information manually.
16
Configuring the ADSL Barricade
Note:
Your PCs must have IP addresses that place them
in the same subnet as the ADSL Barricade's LAN port.
If you manually assign IP information to all your LAN
PCs, you can follow the instructions in Configuring
the
LAN Ports to change the LAN port IP address
accordingly.
Configuring the ADSL Barricade
This section provides you instructions on how to log into the
program of the ADSL Barricade and how to configure basic
settings for your Internet connection. Your ISP should provide
you with the necessary information to complete this step.

In addition to handling the DSL connection to your ISP, the ADSL
Barricade can provide a variety of services to your network. The
device is preconfigured with default settings for use with a typical
home or small office network.
Table 4 lists some of the most important default settings; these and
other features are fully described in the subsequent sections. If you
are familiar with network configuration, review the settings in Table 4
and check whether they meet the needs of your network. Follow
instructions and change them if necessary. If you are unfamiliar
with these settings, try to use the device without modification,
or contact your ISP for assistance.
