Please fill out and return the Warranty Registration Card to SMC, or
register on SMC’s web site at www.smc-europe.com. The Wireless Barricade
Broadband Router is covered by a limited lifetime warranty.
Hardware Description The Wireless Barricade Broadband Router may be connected to the
Internet or to a remote site using its RJ-45 WAN port. It may be
connected directly to your PC or to a local area network using any of the
four 10/100 autosensing switch ports.
These RJ-45 ports auto-negotiate the operating speed (10/100 Mbps) and
the duplex mode (half/full duplex).
Access speed to the Internet depends on your service type. Full-rate
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) provides up to 8 Mbps
downstream and 640 Kbps upstream; G.lite (or splitterless) ADSL
provides up to 1.5 Mbps downstream and 512K bps upstream; Cable
modems provide up to 36 Mbps downstream and 2 Mbps upstream.
However, you should note that the actual rate provided by specific service
providers may vary dramatically from these upper limits.
Though Internet access speed is determined by the modem type
connected to your Wireless Barricade, data passing between devices
connected to your local area network can run up to 100 Mbps over the
Fast Ethernet ports.
The Wireless Barricade includes LED indicators on the front panel that
simplify installation and network troubleshooting.
