TART
After having set up and configured the device, please follow the
instructions on page 27 to check whether it is working properly.
This Quick Start assumes that you have already established
an ADSL service with your Internet service pr ovider (ISP).
These instructions provide a basic configuratio n that should
be compatible with your home or small office network setup.
Refer to the subsequent chapters for additional configuration
instructions.
Connecting the Hardware
You connect the device to the wall phone jack, the powe r 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.

Figure 1. Overview of Hardware Connections
Step 1. Connect the ADSL cable
Connect one end of the provided phone cable (RJ-11) to th e po rt
labeled DSL on the Rear Panel of the device. Connect the other
end to your wall phone jack.
AC adapter
or
To a PC: use a
cross-over cable
Stand-alone computer
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 ca ble, the ADSL
and Phone ports are not interchangeable. Do not
route the ADSL connection through the Phone port.

Installing USB Driver
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 device
such as hubs or switches.

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 info rmation
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.
•

On each PC you will assign static information, follow the
instructions on pages 15 through 21 specific to the IP protocol.
Once it is installed, continue to follow the instructions for displaying

the DNS server, and the default gateway, click the radio buttons
that enable you to enter the information manually.

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.
Logging into the ADSL Barricade Quick Configuration Page
The ADSL Barricade provides a preinstalled software program
called Configuration Manager which enables you to configure
the operation of the device via your Web browser. The settings
that you most likely need to change before using the device
are grouped onto one single [Quick Configuration] page.
Follow these instructions to configure the device settings.
At any PC connected to the ADSL Barricade via Ethernet or
