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.
