Congratulations on your purchase of the Barricade

™

Broadband

Router. SMC is proud to provide you with a powerful yet simple

communication device for connecting your local area network

(LAN) to the Internet. For those who want to surf on the Internet

at the lowest possible cost, this Broadband Router provides a

convenient and powerful solution.

About the Barricade

The Barricade provides Internet access to multiple users by sharing

a single-user account. The most outstanding feature of the

Barricade is the

modem, ISDN TA or PSTN analog

modem. The

Barricade

provides

extensive firewall protection and

Virtual Private Network (VPN) services. It also provides print

services for any client attached to a LAN port.

The Barricade supports dial-on-demand for ISDN/PSTN service,

automatically connecting to the Internet when there are requests

and terminating the connection if no further requests occur. This

dual-port design also supports fail-over Internet access through the

secondary WAN port (i.e., the serial port can be used for primary

or backup Internet access).

This new Barricade technology provides many cost-effective

functions and management benefits. It is simple to configure and

can be up and running in minutes.
