CHAPTER 5 | Configuring the Barricade
After you have configured TCP/IP on a client computer, use a web browser to configure the
Barricade™ Broadband Router. The Barricade can be configured by any Java-supported browser
including Internet Explorer 4.0 or above, or Netscape Navigator 4.7 or above. Using the web
management interface, you may configure the Barricade and view statistics to monitor network
activity.
