    System Requirements You must meet the following minimum requirements: • Internet access from your local telephone company or Internet Service Provider (ISP) using a DSL modem or cable modem. • A PC using a fixed IP address or a dynamic IP address assigned via DHCP, as well as a gateway server address and DNS server address from your service provider.

  • Page 22: Basic Installation Procedure

    NSTALLATION You should also remember to turn off the power, remove the power cord from the outlet, and keep your hands dry when handling the Wireless Barricade. Basic Installation Procedure 1. Connect the LAN: You can connect the Wireless Barricade to your PC, or to a hub or switch.
  • Page 23 Attach to Your Network Using Ethernet Cabling The four LAN ports on the Wireless Barricade can auto-negotiate the connection speed to 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 four LAN ports on the Wireless Barricade to an Ethernet adapter on your PC.
  • Page 24 NSTALLATION Notes: 1. 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. 2. Make sure each twisted-pair cable does not exceed 100 meters (328 feet).
  • Page 25 Computers equipped with a wireless adapter can communicate with each other as an independent wireless LAN by configuring each computer to the same radio channel. However, the Wireless Barricade can provide access to your wired/wireless LAN or to the Internet for all wireless workstations.
  • Page 26 NSTALLATION Attach the Wireless Barricade to the Internet If Internet services are provided through an xDSL or cable modem, use unshielded or shielded twisted-pair Ethernet cable (Category 3 or greater) with RJ-45 plugs to connect the broadband modem directly to the WAN port on the Wireless Barricade.

    Verifying Your TCP/IP Connection After installing the TCP/IP communication protocols and configuring an IP address in the same network as the Wireless Barricade, use the “Ping” command to check if your computer has successfully connected to the Wireless Barricade. The following example shows how the Ping procedure can be executed in an MS-DOS window.
