Installing the Wireless Barricade Router
Hardware Description
The Wireless Barricade can be connected 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
Fast Ethernet LAN ports.
Access speed to the Internet depends on your service type.
Full-rate ADSL can provide up to 8 Mbps downstream and
640 Kbps 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. 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 Router, 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. It also provides 4 RJ-45
LAN ports on the front panel, as well as one RJ-45 WAN port.
Full-duplex communications allow data to be sent and received
simultaneously, doubling the effective throughput.
Hardware Description
•
4 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 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 a DSL or cable modem
(WAN). This port also auto-negotiates operating speed to
10/100 Mbps, the mode to half/full duplex, and the pin signals
to MDI/MDI-X.

Connect the System
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.
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 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 on the front of the Wireless Barricade to your
computer’s network adapter or to another network device.
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, 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.

Attach to Your Network Using Ethernet Cabling
The four LAN ports on the Wireless Barricade auto-negotiate the
connection speed to 10 Mbps Ethernet or 100 Mbps Fast
Ethernet, and the transmission mode to half duplex or full duplex.
Use twisted-pair cable to connect any of the four LAN ports on
the Wireless Barricade to an Ethernet adapter on your PC.
Otherwise, you can cascade any of the LAN ports on the
Wireless 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 Wireless Barricade.
Instead, use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45
connectors that conform with FCC standards.
Connect the System
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 and SMC2632W Wireless cards.
Rotate both antennas on the back of the Wireless Barricade to
the desired position. For more effective coverage, position one
antenna along the vertical axis and the other along the horizontal
axis. Try to place the Wireless 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 Wireless 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
Wireless 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 Wireless 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 radio signals through the Wireless
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:

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!
