| Introduction
◆ User-definable application sensing tunnel supports applications
requiring multiple connections.
◆ Easy setup and management through an easy-to-use web browser
interface on any operating system that supports TCP/IP.
◆ Compatible with all popular Internet applications.
APPLICATIONS Many advanced networking features are provided by the Mini 3G
Broadband Router:
◆ Wired LAN — The Mini 3G Broadband Router provides connectivity to
wired Ethernet devices, making it easy to create a network in small
offices or homes.
◆ Internet Access — This device supports Internet access through a
WAN connection. Since many DSL providers use PPPoE, PPTP, or L2TP
to establish communications with end users, the Mini 3G Broadband
Router includes built-in clients for these protocols, eliminating the need
to install these services on your computer.
◆ Shared IP Address — The Mini 3G Broadband Router provides
Internet access for up to 253 users using a single shared IP address
account.
◆ Virtual Server — If you have a fixed IP address, you can set the Mini
3G Broadband Router to act as a virtual host for network address
translation. Remote users access various services at your site using a
static IP address. Then, depending on the requested service (or port
number), the Mini 3G Broadband Router 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 Mini 3G Broadband Router supports security features
that deny Internet access to specified users, or filter all requests for
specific services. WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) and MAC filtering
provide security over the wireless network.
◆ Virtual Private Network (VPN) Passthrough — The Mini 3G
Broadband Router supports the passthrough of three of the most
commonly used VPN protocols – IPsec, PPTP, and L2TP. These protocols
allow remote users to establish a secure connection to another
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 (that is, a traditionally shared

data network). The VPN-passthrough protocols supported by the
Barricade are briefly described below.
■
IPsec (Internet Protocol Security) — Encrypts and
authenticates entire IP packets and encapsulates them into new IP
packets for secure communications between networks.
■
PPTP (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 (Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol) — Merges the best features
of PPTP and the Layer 2 Forwarding (L2F) protocol. Like PPTP, L2TP
requires that the ISP’s routers support the protocol.
The Barricade 150Mbps Wireless-N Mini 3G Broadband Router package
includes:
◆ Barricade Mini 3G Broadband Router (SMCWBR11S-3GN)
◆ RJ-45 Category 5 network cable
◆ AC power adapter
◆ SMC Warranty Information Card
◆ Quick Installation Guide
◆ EZ Installation & Documentation CD

The 3G Modem USB Port supports connection to a wireless cellular 3G or
3.5G modem for broadband Internet access.
POWER CONNECTOR The Mini 3G Broadband Router must be powered with its supplied power
adapter. Failure to do so results in voiding of any warrantly supplied with
the product. 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.
WPS BUTTON Press the WPS button to automatically configure the Mini 3G Broadband
Router with other WPS devices in the WLAN.
RESET BUTTON The Reset button is used to restore the factory default configuration. If you

3G Modem
The Mini 3G Broadband Router is designed to be very flexible in its
deployment options. It can be used as an Internet gateway for a small
network, or as an access point to extend an existing wired network to
support wireless users. It also supports use as a wireless bridge to connect
up to four wired LANs.
This chapter explains some of the basic features of the Mini 3G Broadband
Router and shows some network topology examples in which the device is
implemented.
INTERNET GATEWAY ROUTER
The Mini 3G Broadband Router can connect directly to a cable or DSL
modem to provide an Internet connection for multiple users through a
single service provider account. Users connect to the Mini 3G Broadband
Router either through a wired connection to a LAN port, or though the
device’s own wireless network. The Mini 3G Broadband Router functions as
an Internet gateway when set to Router Mode.
An Internet gateway employs several functions that essentially create two
separate Internet Protocol (IP) subnetworks; a private internal network
with wired and wireless users, and a public external network that connects
to the Internet. Network traffic is forwarded, or routed, between the two
subnetworks.

LAN Access Point
The private local network, connected to the LAN port or wireless interface,
provides a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server for
allocating IP addresses to local PCs and wireless clients, and Network
Address Translation (NAT) for mapping the multiple "internal" IP addresses
to one “external” IP address.
The public external network, connected to the WAN port, supports DHCP
client, Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE), PPTP (Point-to-Point
Tunneling Protocol), L2TP (Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol), and static IP for
connection to an Internet service provider (ISP) through a cable or DSL
modem.
The 3G Modem link can provide a backup Internet connection with
automatic failover and fallback to the primary WAN connection.
The Mini 3G Broadband Router can provide an access point service for an
existing wired LAN, creating a wireless extension to the local network. The
Mini 3G Broadband Router functions as purely an access point when set to
Bridge Mode. When used in this mode, there are no gateway functions
between the WAN port and the LAN and wireless interface.
A Wi-Fi wireless network is defined by its Service Set Identifier (SSID) or
network name. Wireless clients that want to connect to a network must set
their SSID to the same SSID of the network service.

Wireless Bridge
The IEEE 802.11 standard defines a Wireless Distribution System (WDS)
for bridge connections between access points. The Mini 3G Broadband
Router can use WDS to forward traffic on links between units.
Up to four WDS links can be specified for the Mini 3G Broadband Router.
The WDS feature enables two basic functions to be configured in the
wireless network. Either a repeater function that extends the range of the
wireless network, or a bridge function that connects a remote LAN segment
to an Internet connection.

3 INSTALLING THE MINI 3G ROUTER
The Mini 3G Broadband Router has two basic operating modes that can be
set through the web-based management interface. For information on
setting the mode suitable for your network environment. See “Operation
Mode” on page 53.
◆ Router Mode — A gateway mode that connects a wired LAN and
wireless clients to an Internet access device, such as a cable or DSL
modem. This is the factory set default mode.
◆ Bridge Mode — An access point mode that extends a wired LAN to
wireless clients.
In addition to these basic operating modes, the wireless interface supports
Wireless Distribution System (WDS) links to other Mini 3G Broadband
Routers. These advanced configurations are not described in this section.
See “Network Planning” on page 26 for more information.
In a basic configuration, how the Mini 3G Broadband Router is connected
depends on the operating mode. The sections in this chapter describe
connections for basic Router Mode and Bridge Mode operation.

Mounting the Device
MOUNTING THE DEVICE
The Mini 3G Broadband Router can be mounted on any horizontal surface,
or on a wall. The following sections describe the mounting options.
MOUNTING ON A WALL The Mini 3G Broadband Router should be mounted only to a wall or wood
surface that is at least 1/2-inch plywood or its equivalent. To mount the
unit on a wall, always use its wall-mounting slots.
Figure 9: Wall Mounting
MOUNTING ON A
HORIZONTAL SURFACE
To mount on a wall, follow the instructions below.
1. Mark the position of the two screw holes on the wall. For concrete or
brick walls, you will need to drill holes and insert wall plugs for the
screws.
2. Insert two 20-mm M4 tap screws (not included) into the holes, leaving
about 2~3 mm (0.08~0.12 inches) clearance from the wall.
3. Line up the two mounting points on the unit with the screws in the wall,
then slide the unit down onto the screws until it is in a secured position.
To keep the Mini 3G Broadband Router from sliding on the surface, the unit
has four rubber feet on its base.
It is recommended to select an uncluttered area on a sturdy surface, such
as a desktop or table. The unit can also be protected by securing all
attached cables to a table leg or other nearby fixed structure.
