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. Run Ethernet cable from one of the LAN
ports on the rear of the Wireless Barricade to your computer's network
adapter or to another network device.
You can also connect the Wireless Barricade to your PC (using a
wireless client adapter) via radio signals. Position both antennas on the
back of the Wireless Barricade 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 to a cable/xDSL modem or Ethernet router.
3. Power on: Connect the power adapter to the Wireless Barricade.
