Installing the Wireless Barricade g Router

Hardware Description

The Wireless Barricade can be connected to the Internet or to a remote site using its WAN port. It can be connected directly to your PC or to a local area network using any of the Fast Ethernet LAN ports.

Although access speed to the Internet is determined by your service type and the modem type connected to the Wireless Barricade, data passing between the devices connected to your local area network can run up to 100 Mbps over the Fast Enternet ports.

The Wireless Barricade includes an LED display on the front panel for system power and port indications that simplifies installation and network troubleshooting. It also provides four RJ-45 LAN ports and one RJ-45 WAN port on the rear panel.

•Four Ethernet ports for connection to a 10BASE-T/ 100BASE-TX Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN). These ports can auto-negotiate the operating speed to 10/100 Mbps, the mode to half/full duplex, and the pin signals to MDI/MDI-X (i.e., allowing these ports to be connected to any network device with straight-through cable). These ports can be connected directly to a PC or to a server equipped with an Ethernet network interface card, or to a networking device such as an Ethernet hub or switch.

•One RJ-45 port for connection to a DSL or cable modem (WAN). This port also auto-negotiates operating speed to 10/100 Mbps, the mode to half/full duplex, and the pin signals to MDI/MDI-X.
