    WPA/WPA2 WPA/WPA2 is a security enhancement that strongly increases the level of data protection and access control for existing wireless LAN. Matching authentication and encryption methods must be set up on your Barricade and wireless client devices to use WPA/WPA2. To use WPA, your wireless network cards must be equipped with software that supports WPA.
  • Page 94 ONFIGURING THE ARRICADE WPA addresses all known vulnerabilities in WEP, the original, less secure 40 or 104-bit encryption scheme in the IEEE 802.11 standard. WPA also provides user authentication, since WEP lacks any means of authentication. Designed to secure present and future versions of IEEE 802.11 devices, WPA is a subset of the IEEE 802.11i specification.
  • Page 95 802.1X If 802.1X is used in your network, then you should enable this function for the Barricade.

    Advanced Settings To configure the advanced settings such as NAT, Maintenance, System settings and UPnP, click Advanced Settings. Note: Changing some of the device settings in the Advanced Settings mode may cause the Barricade to become unresponsive. The Barricade’s advanced management interface contains 6 main menu items as described in the following table.

  • Page 98: Nat

    ONFIGURING THE ARRICADE The first menu item in the Advanced Settings section is Network Address Translation (NAT). This process allows all of the computers on your home network to use one IP address. Using the NAT capability of the Barricade, you can access the Internet from any computer on your home network without having to purchase more IP addresses from your ISP.

  • Page 99: Address Mapping

    DVANCED ETTINGS Address Mapping Network Address Translation (NAT) allows IP addresses used in a private local network to be mapped to one or more addresses used in the public, global Internet. This feature limits the number of public IP addresses required from the ISP and also maintains the privacy and security of the local network.

  • Page 100: Virtual Server

    ONFIGURING THE ARRICADE Virtual Server Using this feature, you can put PCs with public IPs and PCs with private IPs in the same LAN area. If you configure the Barricade as a virtual server, remote users accessing services such as web or FTP at your local site via public IP addresses can be automatically redirected to local servers configured with private IP addresses.

  • Page 101: Special Applications

    DVANCED ETTINGS Special Applications Some applications, such as Internet gaming, videoconferencing, Internet telephony and others, require multiple connections.
