inserting an RJ-45 connector, be sure the tab on the connector clicks into
position to ensure that it is properly seated.
Warning: Do not plug a phone jack connector into an RJ-45 port. This
may damage the Barricade.
Notes: 1. Use 100-ohm shielded or unshielded twisted-pair cable with
RJ-45 connectors for all Ethernet ports. Use Category 3, 4, or 5
for connections that operate at 10 Mbps, and Category 5 for
connections that operate at 100 Mbps.
2. Make sure each twisted-pair cable length does not exceed
100 meters (328 feet).
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 to confirm the power indicator on the front panel is lit. If the power
i
ndicator is not lit, refer to
“Troubleshooting” on page A-1.
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.
