ABOUT THE WIRELESS
BARRICADE™ G ROUTER
Congratulations on your purchase of the Wireless Barricade™ g
Broadband Router. SMC is proud to provide you with a powerful
yet simple communication device for connecting your local area
network (LAN) to the Internet.
Important Information!
This information is addressed to the DSL-Users without
a flat rate contract**.
With your DSL-router you have received a device of high quality,
which allows you fast and easy access to the Internet.
The factory default settings of this router have been done in
a way to provide you with uninterrupted access and use of the
Internet. With this background for cost reasons we recommend
that you enter into a "flat rate" - contract with your DSL-line
provider.
Why should you do that?
Please consider that a router, an entirely independent working
device, does not switch off automatically when shutting off your PC!
You may trigger such an automatic shut-off by setting a so called
"idle-time" (for details consult your manual at PPPoE or PPTP WAN
access configuration). Depending at the set time (1 to 5 min) the
router cuts the DSL-link when idle, indeed. But this still does not
provide for 100% security.
This disconnect only happens if there are no more open requests
received from either the LAN or the WAN side (here this can be
requests from the internet, i.e. initiated through the use of so
called file sharing programs like eMule, eDonkey, etc.) that
keep the router active.
1
About the Wireless Barricade™ g Router
In order to counter such incalculable activity and protect yourself
from higher than expected on-line costs we therefore recommend
again a flat-rate contract for your DSL-connection. The only safe
alternative: Pull the plug! That is to disconnect your router from
the mains.
Please feel free to contact our SMC-hotline if you have further
questions.
** Flat-rate is an offer of your DSL-line provider, which gives you
timely unlimited access to the Internet at a defined (flat-) rate.

System Requirements
You must have an ISP that meets the following minimum
requirements:
• Internet access from your local telephone company or Internet
Service Provider (ISP) using a DSL modem or cable modem.
•
A PC using a fixed IP address or dynamic IP address assigned
via DHCP, as well as a Gateway server address and DNS
server address from your service provider.
• A computer equipped with a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or
10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet card, or a USB-to-Ethernet
converter.
• TCP/IP network protocol installed on each PC that needs
to access the Internet.
• A web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or
above installed on one PC at your site for configuring the
Wireless Barricade™.
Connect the System
The Wireless 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 Wireless Barricade™ away from any heating
devices.
• Do not place the Wireless 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 Wireless Barricade™.

Basic Installation Procedure
1. Connect the LAN: Connect the Wireless Barricade™ to your
PC, or to a hub or switch. Run Ethernet cable from one of
the LAN ports on the rear of the Wireless Barricade™ to your
computer’s network adapter or to another network device.
You may also connect the Wireless Barricade™ to your PC
(using a wireless client adapter) via radio signals. Position
both antennas on the back of the Wireless Barricade™ into
the desired positions. For more effective coverage, position

the antennas along different axex. For example, try positioning
the antennas around 45 to 90 degress apart.
(The antennas emit signals along the toroidal plane –
and thus provide more effective coverage when
positioned along different axes).

Installing the Wireless Barricade™ g Router
Attach to Your Network Using Ethernet Cabling
The four LAN ports on the Wireless Barricade™ auto-negotiate
the connection speed to 10 Mbps Ethernet or 100 Mbps Fast
Ethernet, and the transmission mode to half duplex or full duplex.
Use twisted-pair cable to connect any of the four LAN ports
on the Wireless Barricade™ to an Ethernet adapter on your
PC. Otherwise, you can cascade any of the LAN ports on the
Wireless 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 plug, be sure the tab on
the plug clicks into position to ensure that it is properly seated.
Warning: Do not plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45
port. This may damage the Wireless Barricade™.
Instead, use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45
connectors that conform with FCC standards.

Connect the System
Attach to Your Network Using Radio Signals
Install a wireless network adapter in each computer that will be
connected to the Internet or your local network via radio signals.
SMC currently offers several wireless network cards, including
the
SMC2802W and SMC2835W wireless cards.
Rotate both antennas on the back of the Wireless Barricade™
to the desired position. For more effective coverage, position
the antennas around 45 to 90 degrees apart. Try to place the
Wireless Barricade™ in a position that is located in the center
of
your wireless network. Normally, the higher you place the
antenna,
Barricade™’s location provides optimal reception throughout
your home or office.
Computers equipped with a wireless adapter can communicate
with each other as an independent wireless LAN by configuring
each computer to the same radio channel. However, the Wireless
Barricade™ can provide access to your wired/wireless LAN or
to the Internet for all wireless workstations. Each wireless PC
in this network infrastructure can talk to any computer in the
wireless group via a radio link, or access other computers or
network resources in the wired LAN infrastructure or over
the Internet via the Wireless Barricade™.

The wireless infrastructure configuration not only extends the
accessibility of wireless PCs to the wired LAN, but also increases
the effective wireless transmission range for wireless PCs by
retransmitting incoming radio signals through the Wireless
Barricade™.

Setting Up TCP/IP
To access the Internet through the Wireless Barricade™, you
must configure the network settings of the computers on your
LAN to use the same IP subnet as the Wireless Barricade™.
The default network settings for the Wireless Barricade™ are:
Gateway IP Address: 192.168.2.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Note: These settings may be changed to suit your network
requirements, but you must first configure at least
one computer as described in this chapter to access
the Wireless Barricade™’s web configuration interface.
See "Configuring the Wireless Barricade™ g Router"
on page 29 for information on configuring the Wireless
Barricade™.
If you have not previously configured TCP/IP for your computer,
refer to"Configuring Client TCP/IP" on page 15. The IP address
of the connected client PC should be 192.168.2.x (where x
means 2–254). You can set the IP address for client PCs either
by automatically obtaining an IP address from the Wireless
Barricade™’s DHCP service or by manual configuration.
