INSTALLATION

Attach the Wireless Barricade to the Internet

If Internet services are provided through an xDSL or Cable modem, use unshielded or shielded twisted-pair Ethernet cable (Category 3 or greater) with RJ-45 plugs to connect the broadband modem directly to the WAN port on the Wireless Barricade. 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 RS-232 serial port on the Wireless Barricade.

Connect the Wireless Barricade to a Printer

If you connect a printer to the Wireless Barricade, all the computer users connected to your LAN can have access to the printer. Connect a standard parallel printer cable to the Printer port on the Wireless Barricade, and configure the printer server as described on page 6-1.
