Thank you for choosing the SMC Barricade

TM

ADSL Wireless Broadband Voice

Router. This Quick Installation Guide will enable you to have your new router
up and running in a few minutes. Please complete each stage of these easy to
follow instructions.

The position of your Router is important to its wireless performance. The
Router should be located in a central position relative to the wireless PCs that will
connect to it. A suitable location might be on a high shelf or a similar 
position that allows good wireless coverage from the Router to the wireless PCs.

To meet the FCC wireless radiation exposure regulations, the Router should
be located in a position to maintain a minimum distance of 20cm (8 inches)
from any personnel.

Connect all of the computers that you want to share
on your internet connection to your router. During
the initial setup, SMC recommend that the Router is
configured from a wired Ethernet PC as shown in the
diagram.

To keep the high-frequency ADSL signals from 
interfering with telephone calls, each phone must 
be connected to the phone-line through a
splitter (also known as and ADSL microfilter).
The ADSL connection of the router does not
require to be filtered as the frequencies
produced by telephones do not interfere
with the ADSL connection.

Initial Configuration

5.  The first page of the Setup Wizard (Getting Started) provides back-

ground information. Click on the NEXT button after you have read the 
page and taken any action required.

6.  The Wireless Settings page allows you to change the behaviour of the

wireless. If you are unfamiliar with the terminology, do not change the
values; they can always be changed later if required. See the Wireless
Networking Section for more information.

7.  The next page allows you to configure your time-zone. Select the

appropriate time-zone from the drop-down list then select the Primary
Server and Secondary Server that are closest to your location. Click on
the NEXT button when you are happy with your choices.

8.  The next page of the wizard configures your ADSL connection.

a. First select your country from the drop-down list. If your country does

not appear on the list then select Other.

b. If your country was on the list you will now be able to select an 

Internet/Network Provider from the drop-down list. If your provider 
does not appear on the list, select Other. Note that your servic 
provider may have changed their connection parameters from those 
used by the router. If you are in any doubt, please check with your ISP 
and select Other to enter the parameters manually.

c. If you selected Other for your country or Service/Network Provider, 

you will now have to manually select the protocol your provider uses.

Fill in the blank fields with the information provided by your Internet/
Network Provider. Click on NEXT when you have entered the information.

9. The final page of the wizard shows a summary of all the information that

you have entered. Click on FINISH to confirm your choices and connect to
the Internet or click on BACK to return to a page to make further changes.
That's it! When you click on FINISH, you should be connected to the Internet.
Please register your product by pointing your Web browser to www.smc.com
and clicking through to the support pages.

If you are not connected to the Internet, please contact your ISP to clarify
your connection details.

To setup Wireless networking you must select the Wireless option in the
Advanced Setup section.

1. To create a wireless network, the Router and wireless PCs must have the

same SSID and encryption settings. The default wireless settings for the
Router are shown below:

• SSID - Router default is SMC

The SSID is the name given to your wireless 

LAN. Only PCs with the same SSID as the Router can connect to the 
wireless LAN.

• Wireless Encryption - Router default is off 

To set up your wireless network, 

set the encryption to off in both the Router and the wireless PC. Wireless 
encryption can be set up later, after you have established a wireless network.

• Wireless Channel - Router default is Auto

The Router will automatically 

select a clear wireless channel. If there are no other wireless networks in 
the area, the Router will default to channel 6. The wireless PCs will 

Follow the steps in this section after you have connected your hardware as
described in the Hardware Installation section. Before beginning, make sure
you have all the details about your internet connection from your ISP.

Note:

On first power-up or immediately following a Restore to Factory

Defaults, the wireless is turned off. Initial configuration must be performed
using a wired connection.

1.  First, power-up your router then power-up the PC that you will use to

configure the router.

2.  Start your web browser and enter the address http://192.168.2.1. If your

PC is properly configured you will see the login page of the router. If you
cannot access the login page then you must first reconfigure your PC to
obtain an IP address automatically; see the manual on the CD-ROM for
more information.

3.  Type in the password (the default is smcadmin) and click on Login. When

you have successfully logged in, you will see the Country Selection page. 
Your choice of country will be used to configure the wireless so it is
important that you make the correct selection from the drop down list.
Once you have made your selection click on the Apply button to go to the
Home page.

Note:

The Country Selection page only appears on first power-up or

immediately following a Restore to Factory Defaults.

4.  The Home page allows you to choose between the Setup Wizard and

Advanced Setup. Select Setup Wizard.

automatically scan the channels to detect which channel the 
Router is using.

If this is your only wireless network, then you can use the Router's default
settings. Now set your wireless PC to have the same SSID and encryption
settings as the Router. The wireless PCs must also be set to use
infrastructure mode.

2.  If your computer has both a wired and wireless connection installed, then

you must ensure that only one type is used at a time, to connect to the
LAN. To use the wireless connection, unplug the wired Ethernet cable and
reboot the PC.

3.  Once you have setup the same SSID and Encryption in the Router and

wireless PC, open a browser and try to connect to www.smc.com. If you 
can access the internet, then you have successfully set up your wireless 
LAN.

4.  SMC recommends that you enable wireless encryption to improve the

security of your wireless network. Note that if you change the wireless
settings (e.g. SSID or WEP) of your Router from a wireless PC, then you
may lose contact with your Router. To re-establish the wireless connection,
change the wireless settings of your PC to be the same as the Router.
