Description of Hardware
The Barricade Broadband Router can be connected to the Internet
or to a remote site using its RJ-45 WAN port or RS-232 serial port.
It can be connected directly to your PC or to a local area network
using any of the Fast Ethernet LAN ports. It can also function as a
print server.
Access speed to the Internet depends on your service type.
Full-rate ADSL can provide up to 8 Mbps downstream and 640
Mbps upstream. G.lite (or splitterless) ADSL provides up to 1.5
Mbps downstream and 512 Kbps upstream. Cable modems can
provide up to 36 Mbps downstream and 2 Mbps upstream. ISDN
can provide up to 128 Kbps when using two bearer channels. And
PSTN analog connections can now run up to 56 Kbps. However,
you should note that the actual rate provided by specific service
providers may vary dramatically from these upper limits.
Although access speed to the Internet is determined by the modem
type connected to your Barricade, data passing between devices
connected to your local area network can run up to 100 Mbps over
the Fast Ethernet ports.
The Barricade includes an LED display on the front panel for
system power and port indications that simplifies installation and
network troubleshooting. It also provides 4 RJ-45 LAN ports on the
front panel, as well as one RJ-45 WAN port, one RS-232 serial port
and one parallel printer port on the rear panel:

•
4 RJ-45 ports for connection to a 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX
Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN). These ports can auto-
negotiate the operating speed to 10/100 Mbps, the mode to half/
full duplex, and the pin signals to MDI/MDI-X (i.e., allowing
these ports to be connected to any network device with
straight-through cable). These ports can be connected directly to
a PC or to a server equipped with an Ethernet network interface
card, or to a networking device such as an Ethernet hub or switch.
•
One RJ-45 port for connection to an xDSL or Cable modem.
This port is fixed at 10/100 Mbps, full duplex. This port only
supports MDI-X pin signals, so you will have to use either
straight- through or crossover cable depending on the port type
used on the modem.
•
One RS-232 serial port to connect to an ISDN Terminal Adapter
(TA) or to a PSTN analog modem.
•
One parallel printer port that can be connected to a printer. This
printer can then be shared by any LAN users.
