NTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the ADSL2 BarricadeTM g, 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 both wired and wireless devices. New technology provides wireless security via Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption and MAC address filtering. 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

24Mbps

• Local network connection via four 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports

• Built-in IEEE802.11g 54Mbps Wireless Access Point (AP)

• DHCP for dynamic IP configuration, and DNS for domain name

mapping

1-1

NTRODUCTION

• Firewall with Stateful Packet Inspection, client privileges, intrusion detection, and NAT

• 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)

• VLAN and QoS (Quality of Service) support

• User-definable application sensing tunnel supports applications requiring multiple connections

• Easy setup through a web browser on any operating system that supports TCP/IP

Applications

Many advanced networking features are provided by the Barricade:

• Wireless and Wired LAN

The Barricade provides connectivity to 10/100 Mbps devices, and wireless IEEE 802.11g compatible devices, making it easy to create a network in small offices or homes.

• 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.

1-2

PPLICATIONS

• 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.

•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. WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), SSID Broadcast disable, and MAC filtering provide security over the wireless network.

System Requirements

You must meet the following minimum requirements:

• ADSL Internet Service installed.

• 2.4GHz Wireless adapter or Ethernet Adapter installed on each PC.

• TCP/IP network protocols installed on each PC that will access the Internet.

• A Java enabled web browser such as Internet Explorer 5.5 or above, Netscape 4.7 or above, Mozilla 1.7 or above and Firefox 1.0 or above.

Hardware Description

The Barricade contains an integrated ADSL modem and connects to the Internet or to a remote site using its RJ-45 WAN port. It can be connected directly to your PC or to a local area network using any of the four Fast Ethernet LAN ports.

Access speed to the Internet depends on your service type. Full-rate ADSL provides up to 8 Mbps downstream and 1 Mbps upstream. G.lite (or splitterless) ADSL provides up to 1.5 Mbps downstream and 512 kbps upstream. ADSL2+ provides up to 24Mbps downstream and 1Mbps upstream. However, you should note that the actual rate provided by specific service providers may vary dramatically from these upper limits.

Data passing between devices connected to your local area network can run at up to 100 Mbps over the Fast Ethernet ports and 54 Mbps over the built-in wireless access point.

• 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.

ISP S

ETTINGS

• 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.

Splitter

RJ-11

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).

Connecting the network

Using the grey RJ-45 cable provided connect LAN port of the Barricade to the network card of your computer or other network device, e.g., hub or switch. The corresponding LAN LED will illuminate green to indicate good link.

Wall Mounting

There are 2 slots on the underside of the Barricade that can be used for wall mounting. The distance between the 2 slots is 120 mm.

You will need 2 suitable screws, the diameter would be 4.4 mm, to wall mount the Barricade.

To wall mount the unit:

1. Determine where you want to mount the Barricade.

2. Drill two holes into the wall. Make sure the holes are 120 mm apart.

3. Insert a screw into each hole, and leave 5 mm of its head exposed.

4. Maneuver the Barricade so the wall-mount slots line up with the two screws.

5. Place the wall-mount slots over the screws and slide the Barricade down until the screws fit snugly into the wall-mount slots.

Note: When wall mounting the unit, ensure that it is within reach of the

power outlet.

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,
