Congratulations on your purchase of the Barricade™ Wireless
Broadband Router. SMC is proud to provide you with a powerful
yet simple communication device for connecting your local area
network (wired or wireless LAN) to the Internet. For those who
want to surf on the Internet at the lowest possible cost, this
Broadband Router provides a convenient and powerful solution.
About the Barricade
The Barricade provides Internet access to multiple users by sharing
a single-user account. The Barricade’s most outstanding features
include wireless LAN connectivity, as well as the
dual-port WAN
interface which allows you to connect to an xDSL or Cable
modem,
ISDN TA or PSTN analog modem. The
Barricade
provides
extensive
firewall protection and Virtual Private Network (VPN) services. It
also provides print services for any client attached to a LAN port.
The Barricade supports dial-on-demand for ISDN/PSTN service,
automatically connecting to the Internet when there are requests
and terminating the connection if no further requests occur. This
dual-port design also supports fail-over Internet access through the
secondary WAN port (i.e., the serial port can be used for primary
or backup Internet access).
This new Barricade technology provides many cost-effective
functions and management benefits. It is simple to configure and
can be up and running in minutes.

11 Mbps wireless interface (supporting up to 20 mobile users)
•Print services for any client attached to the LAN
•DHCP for dynamic IP configuration, and DNS for domain name
mapping
•Firewall with client privileges, hacker prevention, and NAT
•NAT also enables multi-user access with a single-user account,
and virtual server functionality (providing protected access to
Internet services such as Web, FTP, mail and Telnet)
•Virtual Private Network using PPTP, L2TP or IPSec

Applications
Many advanced applications are provided by the Barricade, such as:
•Flexible LAN Access
The Barricade provides connectivity to 10/100 Mbps wired
devices as well as 11 Mbps wireless mobile users. The wireless
interface makes it easy to create a network in difficult-to-wire
environments, or to provide quick access to databases for
mobile workers.
• Internet Access
This device supports Internet access through an xDSL, Cable,
ISDN or PSTN connection. Since many DSL providers use
PPPoE to establish communications with end users, the
Barricade includes a built-in client for this protocol,
eliminating the need to install this service on your computer.
• Shared IP Address
The Barricade provides Internet access for up to 253 users
with a 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 up 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.
A
PPLICATIONS
1-4
• User-Definable Application Sensing Tunnel
You can define special applications that require multiple
connections such as Internet gaming, video conferencing, and
Internet telephony. The Barricade can then sense the
application type and open a multi-port tunnel for it.
• DMZ Host Support
Allows a networked computer to be fully exposed to the
Internet. This function is used when the special application
sensing tunnel feature is insufficient to allow an application to
function correctly.
• Security
The Barricade supports security features that can deny Internet
access to specified users, or filter all requests for specific
services the administrator does not want to serve. The
Barricade’s firewall can also 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.
• Virtual Private Network
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 any of 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.
I
NTRODUCTION
1-5
•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.
•Layer Two Tunneling Protocol – Includes most of the
features provided by PPTP, but has less overhead and is
more suited for managed networks.
•IP Security – Provides IP network-layer encryption. IPSec
can support large encryption networks (such as the
Internet) by using digital certificates for device
authentication.

Description of Hardware
The Barricade Wireless Broadband Router can be connected to the
Internet or to a remote site using its RJ-45 WAN port or RS232
console 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 can even function as a print server.
Access speed to the Internet depends on your service type.
Full-rate ADSL can provide 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 can
provide up to 36 Mbps downstream and 2 Mbps upstream. ISDN
can provide 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.
Although access speed to the Internet is determined by the modem
type connected to your Barricade, data passing between devices
connected to your local area network can run up to 100 Mbps over
the Fast Ethernet ports.
The Barricade includes an LED display on the front panel for
system power and port indications that simplifies installation and
network troubleshooting. It also provides three RJ-45 LAN ports on
the front panel; as well as one RJ-45 WAN port, one RS-232 serial
port, one parallel printer port, and two antennas on the rear panel.

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.
•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.
Basic Installation Procedure
1. Connect the LAN: You can connect the Barricade to your PC,
or to a hub or switch. Run Ethernet cable
from one of the LAN
ports on the rear of the Barricade to
your computer’s
network
adapter or to another network device.
You can also connect the Barricade to your PC or to a wireless
access point via radio signals. Twist both antennas on the back
of the 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.
2. Connect the WAN: Prepare an Ethernet cable for connecting
the
Barricade to a Cable/xDSL modem or Ethernet router.
Prepare a serial
cable for connecting the 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 Barricade.

4. Power on: Connect the power adapter to the Barricade.
Figure 2-2. Connecting the Barricade
Attach to Your Network Using Ethernet Cabling
The three LAN ports on the Barricade can auto-negotiate the
connection speed to 10 Mbps Ethernet or 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet,
as well as the transmission mode to half-duplex or full-duplex.
These LAN ports also support auto-configuration for cable wiring
(auto-MDI/MDI-X) that allows you to use either straight-through
cable for connecting the gateway to any network device. (See
Appendix B for details on wiring.)
Use twisted-pair cable to connect any of the three LAN ports on
the Barricade to an Ethernet adapter on your PC. Otherwise, you
can cascade any of LAN ports on the Barricade to an Ethernet hub
or switch, and then connect your PC or other network equipment
to the hub or switch. When inserting an RJ-45 plug, be sure the tab
on the plug clicks into position to ensure that it is properly seated.

Warning: Do not plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45
port. This may damage the gateway. Instead, use only
twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform
with FCC standards.
Notes: 1. Use 100-ohm shielded or unshielded twisted-pair cable
with RJ-45 connectors for all connections. Use Category
3, 4 or 5 for connections that operate at 10 Mbps, and
Category 5 for connections that operate at 100 Mbps.
2. Make sure each twisted-pair cable does not exceed 100
meters (328 feet).
Figure 2-3. Making LAN Connections
Attach to Your Network Using Radio Signals
Install a wireless network adapter in each computer that will be
connected to the Internet or your local network via radio signals.
SMC currently offers several wireless network cards, including the
SMC2602W PCI card and the SMC2652W PC card.
Rotate both antennas on the back of the Barricade to an upright
position. Try to place the Barricade in a position that is located in
the center of your wireless network. Normally, the higher you
place the antenna, the better the performance. Ensure that the
Barricade’s location provides optimal reception throughout your
home or office.

Computers equipped with a wireless adapter can communicate
with each other as an independent wireless LAN by configuring
each computer to the same radio channel. However, the Barricade
can provide access to your wired/wireless LAN or to the Internet
for all wireless workstations. Each wireless PC in this network
infrastructure can talk to any computer in the wireless group via a
radio link, or access other computers or network resources in the
wired LAN infrastructure or over the Internet via the Barricade.
The wireless infrastructure configuration not only extends the
accessibility of wireless PCs to the wired LAN, but also doubles the
effective wireless transmission range for wireless PCs by
retransmitting incoming signals through the Barricade.
A wireless infrastructure can be used for access to a central
database, or for connection between mobile workers, as shown in
the following figure:

modem directly to the WAN port on the Internet gateway. Use
either straight-through or crossover cable depending on the port
type provided by the modem (see Appendix B).
For ISDN
or PSTN
service, attach the access device to the RS232 serial port on the
Barricade.

TCP/IP Configuration
To access the Internet through the Barricade™ Broadband Router,
you must configure the network settings of the computers on your
LAN to use the same IP subnet as that defined for the Barricade.
The default network 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, but you must first configure at least one
computer as described in Chapter 5 to access the
Barricade’s Web configuration interface. (See Chapter 4 for
information on configuring the Barricade.)
If you have not previously configured TCP/IP for your computer,
refer to “Installing TCP/IP Protocol in Your PC” on page 5-1.
All PCs connected to the Barricade must be set to the same IP
subnet as that defined for the Barricade. The default subnet
address of the Barricade is 192.168.2.X (where X means 2–254)
and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. You can set the IP address
for client PCs either by automatically obtaining an IP address from
the Barricade’s DHCP service or by manual configuration. See
“Setting TCP/IP to Work with the Barricade” on page 5-3.

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 Barricade and all of your

Network Address Translation – NAT
Network Address Translation can be used to give multiple users
access to the Internet with a single user account, or to map the
local address for an IP server (such as Web or FTP) to a public
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. Note that NAT must be enabled to provide multi-
user access to the Internet or to use the Virtual Server function.
C

Virtual Server
If you configure the 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. In other words, depending
on the requested service (TCP/UDP port number), the Barricade
redirects the external service request to the appropriate server
(located at another internal IP address).
You must have a fixed IP to utilize this function. For example, if
you set Type/Public Port to TCP/80 (HTTP or Web) and the Private
IP/Port to 192.168.2.2/80, then all HTTP request from outside users
N

will be transferred to 192.168.2.2. 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.
Some of the more common TCP service ports include:
HTTP: 80, FTP: 21, Telnet: 23 and POP3: 110.
Enabling Special Applications
Some applications require multiple connections, such as Internet
games, videoconferencing, Internet telephony and others. These

Verifying Your TCP/IP Connection
After installing the TCP/IP communication protocol and
configuring an IP address in the same network with the Barricade,
you can use the ping command to check if your computer is
successfully connected to the 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 the following messages appear:
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 Barricade
has been successfully established. Otherwise, if you get the
following messages,
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
Barricade and your computer?
The LAN LED on the 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 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.

Troubleshooting Chart
Symptom Action
LED Indicators
Power LED is Off •External power supply has failed or is
disconnected.
•Check connections between the Barricade, the
external power supply, and the wall outlet.
•If the power indicator does not turn on when the
power cord is plugged in, you may have a
problem with the power outlet, power cord, or
external power supply.
However, if the unit powers off after running for
a while, check for loose power connections,
power losses or surges at the power outlet.
If you still cannot isolate the problem, then the
external power supply may be defective. In this
case, contact SMC Technical Support for
assistance.

any defective adapter or cable if necessary.
Network Connection Problems
Cannot Ping the
Barricade from the
attached LAN, or the
Barricade cannot Ping
any device on the
attached LAN
•Verify that IP addresses are properly configured.
For most applications, you should use the
Barricade’s DHCP function to dynamically assign
IP addresses to any host on the attached LAN.
However, if you manually configure any IP
addresses on the LAN, verify that the same
network address (network component of the IP
address) and subnet mask are used for both the
Barricade and attached LAN devices.
•Be sure the device you want to ping (or from
which you are pinging) has been configured for
TCP/IP.
Mobile users cannot
access the Barricade
•Make sure that the Barricade and all mobile users
are configured to use the same radio channel,
wireless domain (ESSID), and encryption keys.
•Ensure that all mobile users are within range of
the Barricade as specified in Appendix C.

Ethernet Cable
Specifications
Straight-through Cable
Caution: DO-NOT plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45
port. Use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors
that conform with FCC standards.
For 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX connections, a twisted-pair cable must
have two pairs of wires. Each wire pair is identified by two
different colors. For example, one wire might be red and the other,
red with white stripes. Also, an RJ-45 connector must be attached
to both ends of the cable. All the RJ-45 ports on the Barricade
support automatic MDI/MDI-X configuration. This means that you
can use straight-through cable to attach to any network device.
The Ethernet cable you use on the Barricade can be wired straight
through for Pins 1, 2, 3 and 6, matching the same pins at the both
ends of the cable. Pins 4, 5, 7 and 8 are not used.

All RJ-45 ports on the Barricade support automatic MDI/MDI-X
configuration. This means that the pin signals in use will depend
on whether the port is operating in MDI or MDI-X mode.
