You should also remember to turn off the power, remove the
power cord from the outlet, and keep your hands dry when you
install the Barricade.
Basic Installation Procedure
1.
Connect the LAN
: You can connect the Barricade to your PC,
or to a hub or switch. Run Ethernet cable from one of the LAN
ports on the front of the Barricade to your computer’s network
adapter or to another network device.
2.
Connect the WAN
: Prepare an Ethernet cable for connecting the
Barricade to a Cable/xDSL modem or Ethernet router. Prepare a
serial cable for connecting the Barricade to an ISDN TA or PSTN
modem.
3.
Connect your printer
: Use standard parallel printer cable to
connect your printer to the printer port on the Barricade.
4.
Power on
: Connect the power adapter to the Barricade.

Attach to Your Network Using Ethernet Cabling
The 4 LAN ports on the 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. The LAN ports on
SMC7004ABR support auto-configuration for pin signals (auto-MDI/
MDI-X) that allows you to use straight-through cable for connecting
the Barricade to any network device. (See Appendix B for details on
wiring.)
Use twisted-pair cable to connect any of the 4 LAN ports on the
Barricade to an Ethernet adapter on your PC. Otherwise, you can
cascade any of LAN ports on the Barricade to an Ethernet hub or
switch, and then connect your PC or other network equipment to
the hub or switch. When inserting an RJ-45 plug, be sure the tab
on the plug clicks into position to ensure that it is properly seated.
Warning:
Do not plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45
port. This may damage the Barricade. Instead, use only
twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform
with FCC standards.
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).
Figure 2-3.
Making LAN Connections
Attach the 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 Barricade. Use either
straight-through or crossover cable depending on the port type
provided by the modem (see Appendix B).
For ISDN
or PSTN
service, attach the access device to the RS-232 serial port on the
Barricade.

Note:
When connecting to the WAN port, use 100-ohm Category
3, 4 or 5 shielded or unshielded twisted-pair cable with
RJ-45 connectors at both ends for all connections.
Connect a Printer
If you connect a printer to the Barricade, all the computer users
connected to your LAN can have access to this printer. Connect a
standard parallel printer cable to the Printer port on the Barricade,
and configure the printer server as described on page 6-1.
Connecting the Power Adapter
Plug the power adapter into the power socket on the Barricade,
and the other end into a power outlet. Check the indicator marked
Power on the front panel to be sure it is on. If the Power i
ndicator
does not light up, refer to
Troubleshooting in Appendix A.
