ABOUT THEBARRICADE™ ROUTER
Congratulations on your purchase of the Barricade™ Broadband
Router. SMC is proud to provide you with a powerful yet simple
communication device for connecting your local area network
(LAN) to the Internet. For those who want to surf the Internet at
the lowest possible cost, this Broadband Router provides a
convenient and powerful solution.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION!

This information is addressed to the DSL-Users without
a flat rate contract**.
With your DSL-router you have received a device of high quality,
which allows you fast and easy access to the Internet.
The factory default settings of this router have been done in a
way to provide you with uninterrupted access and use of the
Internet. With this background for cost reasons we recommend
that you enter into a "flat rate" - contract with your DSL-line
provider.
Why should you do that?
Please consider that a router, an entirely independent working
device, does not switch off automatically when shutting off
your PC!
You may trigger such an automatic shut-off by setting a so
called "idle-time" (for details consult your manual at PPPoE or
PPTP WAN access configuration). Depending at the set time
(1 to 5 min) the router cuts the DSL-link when idle, indeed. But
this still does not provide for 100% security.
