Applications

Many advanced applications are provided by the Wireless Barricade Plus,
such as:
• Flexible LAN Access
The Wireless Barricade Plus provides connectivity to 10/
100 Mbps wired devices as well as 11 Mbps wireless mobile users.
The wireless interface makes it easy to create a network in
difficult-to-wire environments, or to provide quick access to
databases for mobile workers.
• Internet Access
This device supports Internet access through an xDSL, or Cable
connection. Since many DSL providers use PPPoE to establish
communications with end users, the Wireless Barricade Plus includes
a built-in client for this protocol, eliminating the need to install this
service on your computer.
• Shared IP Address
The Wireless Barricade Plus provides Internet access for up to 253
users with a shared IP address. Using only one ISP account, multiple
users on your network can browse the Web at the same time.
