Description of Capabilities

| Introduction

◆ 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.

In addition, the access point functionality offers full network management capabilities through an easy to configure web interface, and support for Simple Network Management tools.

APPLICATIONS Many advanced networking features are provided by the Barricade:

◆ Wireless and Wired LAN — The Barricade provides connectivity to

wired 10/100 Mbps devices, and wireless IEEE 802.11b compatible devices, making it easy to create a network in small offices or homes.

◆ Internet Access — This device supports Internet access through a

DSL connection. Since many DSL providers use PPPoE or PPPoA to establish communications with end users, the Barricade includes builtin 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.

◆ 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.

– 22 –

HAPTER

| Introduction

Package Contents

◆ Security — The Barricade supports security features that deny

Internet access to specified users, or filter all requests for specific services 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.

◆ 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.

PACKAGE CONTENTS

◆ 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 Wireless Broadband Router package includes:

◆ Barricade Wireless Broadband Router

◆ RJ-45 Category 5 network cable

◆ RJ-11 telephone cable

◆ BT-RJ-11 telephone cable (for New Zealand and Australia only)

◆ Splitter

◆ Phone jack (for Australia only)

HARDWARE DESCRIPTION

The Barricade Wireless Broadband Router, from herein refered to as ADSL Router, contains an integrated DSL modem and connects to the Internet or to a remote site using its RJ-11 WAN port. It connects directly to your PC or to a local area network using its RJ-45 Fast Ethernet LAN port or via a wireless network adapter.

Access speed to the Internet depends on your service type. Theoretically ADSL2+ provides up to 24 Mbps downstream and 3.5 Mbps upstream. However, this depends on the distance between your home and the central office (CO) of the service provider. Actual rates provided by specific broadband service providers may vary dramatically from these upper limits due to both distance and type of deployment of DSLAM equipment. Typically a modern domestic broadband connection can reach maximum download speeds dependent on your port capabilities and upload speeds usually set at a slower rate. This again is dependent on your service provider and what contract you sign with them.

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

The ADSL Router includes an LED display on the front panel for system power and port indications that simplifies installation and network troubleshooting.

Hardware Description

| Introduction

ETHERNET PORT The ADSL Router has one 100BASE-TX RJ-45 port that can be attached

directly to 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX LAN segments.

This port supports automatic MDI/MDI-X operation, so you can use straight-through cables for all network connections to PCs, switches, or hubs.

POWER CONNECTOR

BUTTON

AND

The ADSL Router has a power button. When the AC power adapter is attached and connected to a power source, you must depress the power button to power the unit.

The power adapter automatically adjusts to any voltage between 100~240 volts at 50 or 60 Hz, and supplies 12 volts DC power to the unit. No voltage range settings are required.

RESET BUTTON This button is used to restore the factory default configuration. If you hold

down the button for 5 seconds or more, any configuration changes you may have made are removed, and the factory default configuration is restored to the access point.

2 INSTALLING THE ADSL ROUTER

This chapter describes how to install the ADSL Router.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

You must meet the following minimum requirements:

◆ ADSL Internet service provider and modem with Ethernet connection.

◆ A 2.4GHz 802.11b/g wireless adapter installed on each PC.

Alternatively an Ethernet adapter can be used.

◆ A web browser: Internet Explorer 5.5 or above, Netscape 4.7 or above,

Mozilla Firefox 1.0 or above.

LOCATION SELECTION

Choose a proper place for the ADSL Router. In general, the best location is at the center of your wireless coverage area, within line of sight of all wireless devices. Try to place the ADSL Router in a position that can best cover its service area. For optimum performance, consider these guidelines:

◆ Mount the ADSL Router as high as possible above any obstructions in

the coverage area.

◆ Avoid mounting next to or near building support columns or other

obstructions that may cause reduced signal or null zones in parts of the coverage area.

◆ Mount away from any signal absorbing or reflecting structures (such as

those containing metal).

The ADSL Router can be mounted on any horizontal surface, or a wall.
