CONFIGURING THE BARRICADE™

After you have configured TCP/IP on a client computer, use a web browser to configure the Barricade™ Broadband Router. The Barricade™ can be configured by any Java-supported browser including Internet Explorer 4.0 or above, or Netscape Navigator 4.7 or above. Using the web management interface, you may configure the Barricade™ and view statistics to monitor network activity.

Note: Before you attempt to configure your router, if you have access to the Internet please visit www.smc.com or www.smc-europe.com and download the latest firmware update.

Before you attempt to log into the Barricade™'s Web-based Administration, please verify the following:

1.Your browser is configured properly (see below).

2.Disable any firewall or security software that may be running.

3.Confirm that you have a good "link" LED where your computer is plugged into the Barricade™. If you don't have a "link" light, try another cable until you get a good link.

Browser Configuration

Confirm your browser is configured for a direct connection to the Internet using the Ethernet cable that is installed in the computer. This is configured through the options/preference section of your browser.
