connect to your Barricade

Once you have connected these devices, using CAT-5 Ethernet
cabling, please check the Barricade
TM

between a computer and the Barricade

display the connection speed (10Mbps or 100Mbps). If you
connect all the devices together and don’t get a valid WAN /
PORT light status, then please check the cables.
