INSTALLATION

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.

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).

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 Wireless PCI card and the SMC2632W Wireless PC card.

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.
