HARDWARE DESCRIPTION

Hardware Description

The Barricade contains an integrated DSL modem and connects to the Internet or to a remote site using its RJ-11 WAN port. It can be connected directly to your PC or to a local area network using any of the four RJ-45 Fast Ethernet LAN ports.

Access speed to the Internet depends on your service type. Full-rate ADSL provides up to 8 Mbps downstream and 640 kbps upstream. G.lite (or splitterless) ADSL provides up to 1.5 Mbps downstream and 512 Kbps upstream. However, you should note that the actual rate provided by specific service providers may vary dramatically from these upper limits.

Data passing between devices connected to your local area network can run at up to 100 Mbps over the Fast Ethernet ports.

The Barricade includes an LED display on the front panel for system power and port indications that simplifies installation and network troubleshooting. It also provides the following ports on the rear panel:
