Hardware Description
The Barricade contains an integrated ADSL 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 the Ethernet LAN
port. Also you can use the USB port for connecting this Barricade to your
PC.
Access speed to the Internet depends on your service type. Full-rate ADSL
provides up to 8 Mbps downstream and 1 Mbps upstream. G.lite (or
splitterless) ADSL provides up to 1.5 Mbps downstream and 512 kbps
upstream. ADSL2+ provides up to 24 Mbps downstream and 1 Mbps
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 port.
