Hardware Description
The Wireless Barricade may be connected to the Internet or to a
remote site using its RJ-45 WAN port or RS-232 serial port. It can
be connected directly to your PC or to a local area network using
any of the three Fast Ethernet LAN ports or through the wireless
interface. It also functions as a print server.
Access speed to the Internet depends on your service type.
Full-rate ADSL provides up to 8 Mbps downstream and 640
Mbps upstream. G.lite (or splitterless) ADSL provides up to 1.5
Mbps downstream and 512 Kbps upstream. Cable modems
provide up to 36 Mbps downstream and 2 Mbps upstream. ISDN
provides up to 128 Kbps when using two bearer channels. And
PSTN analog connections can now run up to 56 Kbps. However,
you should note that the actual rate provided by specific service
providers may vary dramatically from these upper limits.
Though Internet access speed is determined by the modem type
connected to your Wireless Barricade, data passing between
devices connected to your local area network can run up to 100
Mbps over the Fast Ethernet ports.
The Wireless Barricade includes an LED display on the front
panel for system power and port indications that simplifies
installation and network troubleshooting.
Installing the Wireless Barricade

On the rear panel, the Wireless Barricade provides:
•Three RJ-45 ports for connection to a 10BASE-T/
100BASE-TX Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN). These
ports can auto- negotiate the operating speed to 10/100 Mbps,
the mode to half/full duplex, and the pin signals to MDI/MDI-X
(i.e., allowing these ports to be connected to any network
device with straight-through cable).
•These RJ-45 ports can be connected directly to a PC or to a
server equipped with an Ethernet network interface card, or to
a networking device such as an Ethernet hub or switch.
•One RJ-45 port for connection to an xDSL or Cable modem.
This is a 10/100 Mbps, full duplex port, Use a Category 3 or
higher cable to connect this WAN port to a xDSL or Cable
modem.
•One RS-232 serial port to connect to an ISDN Terminal
Adapter (TA) or to a PSTN analog modem.
•One parallel printer port that can be connected to a printer.
This printer can then be shared by any LAN/WLAN users.
•Two external antennas (dipole, omni-directional).

connections, each computer must have an IEEE 802.11b
compatible wireless adapter.
•TCP/IP network protocols installed on each PC that needs to
access the Internet.
•A Java-enabled Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet
Explorer 5.0 or above, or Netscape Communicator 4.0 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.

power cord from the outlet, and keep your hands dry when you
install the Wireless Barricade.
Basic Installation Procedure
1. Connect the LAN: You can connect the Wireless Barricade to
your PC, or to a hub or switch. Run Ethernet cable from one
of the LAN ports of the Wireless Barricade to your computer’s
network adapter or to another network device.
Installing the Wireless Barricade
10
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, you may want to position one
antenna along the vertical axis and the other antenna along
the horizontal axis. (The antennas emit signals along the
toroidal plane – and thus provide more effective
coverage when positioned along alternate axes.)
2. Connect the WAN: Prepare an Ethernet cable for connecting
the Wireless Barricade to a cable/DSL modem or Ethernet
router. Prepare a serial cable for connecting the Wireless
Barricade to an ISDN TA or PSTN modem.
3. Connect your printer: Use standard parallel printer cable to
connect your printer to the printer port on the Wireless
Barricade.

Verifying Your TCP/IP Connection
After installing the TCP/IP communication protocols and
configuring an IP address in the same network as the Wireless
Barricade, use the Ping command to check if your computer has
successfully connected to the Wireless Barricade. The following
example shows how the Ping procedure can be executed in an
MS-DOS window. First, execute the Ping command:
ping 192.168.2.1
If a message similar to the following appears:
Pinging 192.168.2.1 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.2.1: bytes=32 time=2ms TTL=64
a communication link between your computer and the Wireless
Barricade has been successfully established.
If you get the following message,
Pinging 192.168.2.1 with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.
there may be something wrong in your installation procedure.
Check the following items in sequence:
1. Is the Ethernet cable correctly connected between the
Wireless Barricade and the computer?
The LAN LED on the Wireless Barricade and the Link LED of
the network card on your computer must be on.
2. Is TCP/IP properly configured on your computer?
If the IP address of the Wireless Barricade is 192.168.2.1, the
IP address of your PC must be from 192.168.2.2 -
192.168.2.254 and the default gateway must be 192.168.2.1.
If you can successfully Ping the Wireless Barricade you are
now ready to connect to the Internet!

Wireless Settings (Wireless)
To configure the Wireless Barricade as a wireless access point
for wireless clients (either stationary or roaming), all you need to
do is define the service set identifier (ESSID), the rates of
transmission of data and of commands, the radio channel, and
the encryption options. Note that the radio channel and the
service set identifier must be set to the same value for the
Wireless Barricade and for all wireless clients.
Channel and SSID
ESSID – The Extended Service Set Identifier for the wireless
network. Also known as the wireless service domain.
Transmission Rate – The rate of transmission of data, the
selections from the drop-down menu are: Fully Automatic,
11 Mbps, Automatic 1 or 2 Mbps, 2 Mbps, or 1 Mbps.
Advanced Setup
45
If set to Fully Automatic, the data rate will be automatically
selected. If set to Automatic 1 to 2 Mbps the data rate will
automatically be selected between these values. If manually set
to a specific value then the data rate is fixed at that value.
Basic Rate – The rate of transmission of commands.
Channel – The radio channel.
Encryption
If you are transmitting sensitive data across wireless channels,
you should enable encryption.
Encryption requires you to use the same set of encryption/
decryption keys for the Wireless Barricade and your wireless
clients. You can choose between standard 64-bit or the more
robust 128-bit encryption keys. However, please be aware that
the extra processing time required for encryption may affect the
throughput for wireless communications.
Configuring the Wireless Barricade
46
You can automatically generate encryption keys or you can
manually enter the keys. For automatic 64-bit security, you enter
a passphrase that is used to create four keys and click Generate
(as shown below). A passphrase may consist of up to 32
alphanumeric digits. The automatic 128-bit security generates a
single key by entering a passphrase. To manually configure the
keys, enter five hexadecimal pairs for each 64-bit key, or enter 13
pairs for the single 128-bit key. (A hexadecimal digit is a number
or letter in the range 0-9 or A-F.)
Network Address Translation (NAT)
From this section you can configure the Address Mapping, Virtual
Server, and Special Application features that provide control over
the port openings in the router’s firewall. This section can be
used to support several Internet based applications such as VPN
Advanced Setup
47
Address Mapping
Allows one or more public IP addresses to be shared by multiple
internal users. Enter the Public IP address you wish to share into
the Global IP field. Enter a range of internal IPs that will share the
global IP.
Configuring the Wireless Barricade
48
Virtual Server
If you configure the Wireless Barricade as a virtual server,
remote users accessing services such as Web or FTP at your
local site via public IP addresses can be automatically redirected
to local servers configured with private IP addresses (LAN IP
Addresses). In other words, depending on the requested service
(TCP/UDP port number), the Wireless Barricade redirects the
external service request to the appropriate server (located at
another internal IP address).
For example, if you set Protocol Type /Public Port to TCP/80
(HTTP or Web) and the LAN IP Address/LAN Port to
192.168.2.2/80, then all HTTP requests from outside users will
be transferred to 192.168.2.2 on port 80. Therefore, by just
entering the IP Address provided by the ISP, Internet users can
access the service they need at the local address to which you
redirect them.
Advanced Setup
49
The more common TCP service ports include:
HTTP: 80, FTP: 21, Telnet: 23, and POP3: 110.
Note: This tool can support both port ranges, multiple ports,
and combinations of the two.
For example:
Port Ranges:100-150
Multiple Ports: 25,110,80
Combination: 25-50,80
Special Applications
Some applications, such as Internet gaming, videoconferencing,
Internet telephony and others, require multiple connections.
These applications cannot work with Network Address
Translation (NAT) enabled. If you need to run applications that
require multiple connections, use the following screen to specify
the additional public ports to be opened for each application.
Configuring the Wireless Barricade
50
Specify the public port number normally associated with an
application in the Trigger Port field. Set the protocol type to TCP
or UDP, then enter the ports that the application requires. The
ports may be in the format 7, 11, 57, or in a range, e.g., 72-96, or
a combination of both, e.g., 7, 11, 57, 72-96.
Popular applications requiring multiple ports are listed in the
Popular Applications field. From the drop-down list, choose the
application and then choose a row number to copy this data into.
Note: Choosing a row that already contains data will
overwrite the current settings.
For a full list of ports and the services that run on them, see
www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers.
Firewall
The Wireless Barricade firewall can provide access control of
connected client PCs, block 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. The firewall does not significantly affect
system performance, so we advise leaving it enabled to protect
