Connect the ADSL Line
Run standard telephone cable from the wall jack providing ADSL service
to the ADSL port on your Barricade. When inserting an RJ-11 plug, be
sure the tab on the plug clicks into position to ensure that it is properly
seated. If you are using splitterless ADSL service, be sure you add low-pass
filters between the ADSL wall jack and your telephones. (These filters pass
voice signals through but filter data signals out.)
Connect the Power Adapter
Plug the power adapter into the power socket on the rear of the Barricade,
and the other end into a power outlet.
Check the PWR (power) indicator on the front panel is lit. If the power
i
ndicator is not lit, refer to Appendix A Troubleshooting
.
In case of a power input failure, the Barricade will automatically restart and
begin to operate once the input power is restored.
If the Barricade is properly configured, it will take about 30 seconds to
establish a connection with the ADSL service provider after powering up.
During this time the Sync indicator will flash. After the ADSL connection
has been established, the ADSL Sync LED will stay on.
Connect to the Barricade’s Ethernet Port
Connect directly to a PC or server equipped with an Ethernet network
interface card using the crossover cable supplied with the Barricade.
However, when connecting the Barricade to a network device such as an
Ethernet hub or switch, use the crossover cable supplied with the
Barricade to connect to an MDI port on the other device, or use your own
straight-through cable to connect to an MDI-X (i.e., with internal
crossover) port on the other device. Refer to Appendix B for detailed
information on these wiring types. If you connect the Barricade to a
network device, then you need to connect your PCs to that device. When
inserting an RJ-45 plug, be sure the tab on the plug clicks into position to
ensure that it is properly seated.
