Hardware Description
The Router 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 the Router, data passing between
devices connected to your local area network can run up to
100 Mbps over the Fast Ethernet ports.
The Router includes an LED display on the front panel for system
power and port indications that simplifies installation and network
troubleshooting. It also provides four RJ-45 LAN ports and one
RJ-45 WAN port on the rear panel.
•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.

System Requirements
You must have an ISP that meets the following minimum
requirements:
•Internet access from your local telephone company or Internet
Service Provider (ISP) using a DSL modem or cable modem.
•A PC using a fixed IP address or dynamic IP address
assigned via DHCP, as well as a Gateway server address and
DNS server address from your service provider.
•A computer equipped with a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or
10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet card, or a USB-to-Ethernet
converter.
•TCP/IP network protocol installed on each PC that needs to
access the Internet.
•A Java-enabled web browser, such as Microsoft Internet
Explorer 5.0 or above installed on one PC at your site for
configuring the Router.
Connect the System
The Router 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 Router away from any heating devices.
•Do not place the Router 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 Router.
Connect the System
7
Basic Installation Procedure
1. Connect the LAN: Connect the Router to your PC, or to a
hub or switch. Run Ethernet cable from one of the LAN ports
on the rear of the Router to your computer’s network adapter
or to another network device.
You may also connect the Router to your PC (using a
wireless client adapter) via radio signals. Position both
antennas on the back of the Router into the desired positions.
For more effective coverage, position the antennas along
different axes. For example, try positioning the antennas
around 45 to 90 degrees apart. (The antennas emit signals
along the toroidal plane – and thus provide more
effective coverage when positioned along different
axes.)
2. Connect the WAN: Prepare an Ethernet cable for connecting
the
Router to a cable/xDSL modem or Ethernet router.
3. Power on: Connect the power adapter to the Router.

Attach to Your Network Using Ethernet Cabling
The four LAN ports on the Router 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 Router to an Ethernet adapter on your PC. Otherwise, you
can cascade any of the LAN ports on the Router 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 Router. Instead, use only
twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform
with FCC standards.
Figure 3. Making the LAN Connections
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
SMC2802W and SMC2835W wireless cards.
Rotate both antennas on the back of the Router to the desired
position. For more effective coverage, position the antennas
around 45 to 90 degrees apart. Try to place the Router 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 Router’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 Router
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 Router.
The wireless infrastructure configuration not only extends the
accessibility of wireless PCs to the wired LAN, but also increases
the effective wireless transmission range for wireless PCs by
retransmitting incoming radio signals through the Router.

SSID: The Service Set ID. This should be set to the same value
as the other wireless devices in your network.
SSID Broadcast: Broadcasting the SSID on the wireless network
for easy connection with client PCs. For security reasons, you
should disable SSID broadcast. (Default: Enable)
Note: The SSID is case sensitive and can consist of up to 32
alphanumeric characters.
Wireless Mode: Set the communication mode for
the Router. Default: Mixed (11b+11g)
Transmission Rate: Set the rate of data
transmitted from the Router. The lower the data rate,
the longer the transmission distance. (Default: Fully
Automatic.)
Channel: The radio channel through which the Router
communicates with PCs in its BSS. (Default: 6)
Note: The available channel settings are limited by
local regulations.
g Nitro: In a crowded 2.4 MHz frequency, the
connection speed is much lower than the promised 54 Mbps. The
g Nitro implemented by Intersil’s Prism Nitro technology
dramatically enhances your wireless network speeds. It provides
up to 50% more throughput in 11g only environment, and

wireless nodes, but does not protect any transmissions over your
wired network or over the Internet.
WPA
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) combines Temporal Key Integrity
Protocol (TKIP) and 802.1x mechanisms. It provides dynamic
key encryption and 802.1x authentication service. With TKIP,
WPA uses 48-bit initialization vectors, calculates an 8-byte
message integrity code, and generates an encryption key
periodically. For authentication, it allows you to use 802.1x
authentication for an environment with a RADIUS server installed

NAT
From this section you can configure the Virtual Server, and
Special Application features that provide control over the TCP/
UDP port openings in the router’s firewall. This section can be
used to support several Internet based applications such as web,
E-mail, FTP, and Telnet.
NAT 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.
Advanced Setup
53
Virtual Server
If you configure the Router 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
Router redirects the external service request to the appropriate
server (located at another internal IP address).
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
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.
The more common TCP service ports include:
HTTP: 80, FTP: 21, Telnet: 23, and POP3: 110

• Discard Ping from WAN (Default: Disabled) – Prevents the
router from responding to any PING request on the WAN port.
• Stateful Packet Inspection – This is called a “stateful” packet
inspection because it examines the contents of the packet to
determine the state of the communications; i.e., it ensures that
the stated destination computer has previously requested the
current communication. This is a way of ensuring that all
Configuring the Wireless Barricade Router
64
communications are initiated by the recipient computer and
are taking place only with sources that are known and trusted
from previous interactions. In addition to being more rigorous
in their inspection of packets, stateful inspection firewalls also
close off ports until connection to the specific port is
requested.
When particular types of traffic are checked, only the
particular type of traffic initiated from the internal LAN will be
allowed. For example, if the user only checks FTP Service in
the Stateful Packet Inspection section, all incoming traffic will
be blocked except for FTP connections initiated from the local
LAN.
Stateful Packet Inspection allows you to select different
application types that are using dynamic port numbers. If you
wish to use the Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) to block
packets, click on the Yes radio button in the “Enable SPI and
Anti-DoS firewall protection” field and then check the
inspection type that you need, such as Packet Fragmentation,
TCP Connection, UDP Session, FTP Service, H.323 Service,
and TFTP Service.

DMZ
If you have a client PC that cannot run an Internet application
properly from behind the firewall, then you can open the client up
to unrestricted two-way Internet access. Enter the IP address of
a DMZ host to this screen. Adding a client to the DMZ
(Demilitarized Zone) may expose your local network to a variety
of security risks, so only use this option as a last resort.

DDNS
Provider – This DNS feature is powered by either DynDNS, or
TZO.com. With a DDNS connection you can host your own web
site, E-mail server, FTP site, and more at your own location even
if you have a dynamic IP address. (Default: Disable)
Domain Name – A series of alphanumeric strings separated by
periods that maps to the address of a the Router network
connection and identifies the owner of the address.
Dynamic DNS provides users on the Internet with a method to tie
their domain name to the router or server. DDNS allows your
domain name to follow your IP address automatically by having
your DNS records changed when your IP address changes.
The section also has a “Server Configuration” section that
automatically opens the port options checked in the Virtual
Server section. Simply enter in the IP Address of your server,

such as a web server, and then click on the port option “HTTP
Port 80” so users can access your server from the WAN
connection (Internet).
UPnP
Enable UPnP by checking ON in the screen above. UPnP allows
the device to automatically:
•dynamically join a network
•obtain an IP address
•convey its capabilities and learn about the presence and
capabilities of other devices. (Default: OFF)

TROUBLESHOOTING
The information outlined in this section describes some useful
steps for getting your computer and the Router online.
A. Verify your connection to the Router
If you are unable to access the Router’s web-based
administration pages then you may not be properly connected or
configured. The screen shots in this section were taken on a
Windows 2000 machine, but the same steps will apply to
Windows 95/98/Me/XP.
To determine your TCP/IP configuration status please follow the
steps below:
1. Click Start then choose Run.
2. Type cmd or command to open a DOS prompt.
3. In the DOS window, type ipconfig and verify the information
that is displayed.
4. If your computer is set up for DHCP, then your TCP/IP
configuration should be similar to the information displayed:
•IP Address: 192.168.2.x (x is number between 100 and
199 by default.)
•Subnet: 255.255.255.0
•Gateway: 192.168.2.1
Troubleshooting
75
If you have an IP address that starts with 169.254.xxx.xxx then
see the next section.
If you have another IP address configured, then see section C.
B. I am getting an IP Address that starts with
169.254.xxx.xxx
If you are getting this IP Address, then you need to check that
you are properly connected to the Router.
Confirm that you have a good link light on the Router for the port
this computer is connected to. If not, please try another cable.
If you have a good link light, please open up a DOS window as
described in the previous section and type ipconfig/renew.
If you are still unable to get an IP Address from the Router,
reinstall your network adapter. Please refer to your adapter
manual for information on how to do this.
C. I have another IP Address displayed
If you have another IP address listed then the PC may not be
configured for a DHCP connection. Please refer to “Configuring
Client TCP/IP” on page 12 for information.
Once you have confirmed your computer is configured for DHCP,
then please follow the steps below.
1. Open a DOS window as described above.
Troubleshooting
76
2. Type ipconfig/release.
3. Then type ipconfig/renew.
D. The 10/100 LED does not light after a connection is made.
1. Check that the host computer and the Router are both
powered on.
2. Be sure the network cable is connected to both devices.
3. Verify that Category 5 cable is used if you are operating at
100 Mbps, and that the length of any cable does not exceed
100 m (328 ft).
4. Check the network card connections.
5. The 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX port, network card, or cable
may be defective.
