You should also remember to turn off the power, remove the power cord
from the outlet, and keep your hands dry when handling the Barricade.
Basic Installation Procedure
1. Connect the LAN : Run an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN ports
on the front of the Barricade to your computer’s network adapter or to a
hub/switch or other network device.
2. Connect the WAN : Prepare an Ethernet cable for connecting the
Barricade to a cable/DSL modem or Ethernet router.
3. Power on : Connect the power adapter to the Barricade.
Attach to Your Network Using Ethernet Cabling
The four LAN ports on the Barricade auto-negotiate the connection speed
(10 Mbps Ethernet or 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet), as well as the
transmission mode to half duplex or full duplex.
Use twisted-pair cable to connect any of the LAN ports on the Barricade
to an Ethernet adapter on your PC. Otherwise, you may cascade any of the
LAN ports on the Barricade to an Ethernet hub or switch, and then
connect your PC or other network equipment to the hub or switch. When
inserting an RJ-45 connector, be sure the tab on the connector clicks into
position.
Warning: Do not plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45 port. This
may damage the Barricade. Use only twisted-pair cables with
RJ-45 connectors that conform to FCC standards.
Notes: Use 100-ohm shielded or unshielded twisted-pair cable with
RJ-45 connectors for all connections. Use Category 3, 4, or 5
for connections that operate at 10 Mbps, and Category 5 for
connections that operate at 100 Mbps. Ensure that each
twisted-pair cable does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).
