Basic Installation Procedure

1. Connect the LAN: You can connect the Wireless Barricade Plus to
your PC, or to a hub or switch. Run Ethernet cable from one of the
LAN ports on the rear of the Wireless Barricade Plus to your
computer's network adapter or to another network device.
You can also connect the Wireless Barricade Plus to your PC (using a
wireless client adapter) via radio signals. Position both antennas
on the back of the Wireless Barricade Plus into the desired positions.
For more effective coverage, you may want to position one antenna
along the vertical axis and the other antenna along the horizontal
axis. (The antennas emit signals along the toroidal plane – and
thus provide more effective coverage when positioned along
alternate axes.)
2. Connect the WAN: Prepare an Ethernet cable for connecting the
Wireless Barricade Plus to a cable/xDSL modem or Ethernet router.
3. Power on: Connect the power adapter to the Wireless Barricade Plus.
