TCP/IP Configuration
To access the Internet through the Barricade
™
Broadband Router,
you must configure the network settings of the computers on your
LAN to use the same IP subnet as the Barricade. The default
network settings for the Barricade are:
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Note:
These settings can be changed to fit your network
requirements, but you must first configure at least one
computer as described in Chapter 5 to access the
Barricade’s Web configuration interface. (See Chapter 4 for
information on configuring the Barricade.)
If you have not previously configured TCP/IP for your computer,
refer to “Installing TCP/IP Protocol in Your PC” on page 5-1.
All PCs connected to the Barricade must be set to the same IP
subnet as the Barricade. The default subnet address of the
Barricade is 192.168.2.X (where X means 2–254) and the subnet
mask is 255.255.255.0. You can set the IP address for client PCs
either by automatically obtaining an IP address from the
Barricade’s DHCP service or by manual configuration. See “Setting
TCP/IP to Work with the Barricade” on page 5-3.

Printer Client Installation
If you need to provide print services for devices attached to the
Barricade, then install the Port Monitor program from the Barricade
CD (for Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000), and configure
the
Barricade’s print server on each network station. The Barricade
printer server supports Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000, and Unix
platforms. Refer to Chapter 6: “Configuring Printer Services.”

ARRICADE
After you have configured TCP/IP on a client computer, you can 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 4.0 or above.
Using the Web management interface, you can configure the
Barricade and view statistics to monitor network activity.
To access the Barricade’s management interface,
enter the IP address of the Barricade in your Web
Then login the Barricade system with no password
(by default, there is no password).
Note:
For some browsers it may be necessary to
include “:88” after the management IP
address. For example,
The home page displays the Main Menu on the left-hand side of the
screen and descriptive information on the right-hand side. The Main
Menu links are used to navigate to other menus that display
configuration parameters and statistics.

Navigating the Web Browser Interface
The Barricade’s management interface includes four key menus –
Status, Help, Tools, and Setup. The Status and Help menus provide
general information on the current settings and how to configure the
Barricade. The Setup menu is used to configure the LAN and WAN
interface, as well as other advanced functions. While the Tools menu
is used to reset the Barricade, restore the factory settings, or upgrade
firmware.
Setting a Password
If this is your first time to access the Barricade, you should define a
new password, record it and put it in a safe place. From the Main
Menu, select “Setup” and click on “Change Password” and follow the
instructions on the screen (see page 4-7). Note that passwords can
consist of 3 to 12 alphanumeric characters and are case sensitive.

Making Configuration Changes
Configurable parameters have a dialog box or a drop-down list. Once
a configuration change has been made on a page, be sure to click the
“Enter” button at the bottom of the page to confirm the new setting.

To ensure proper screen refresh after a command entry, be
sure that Internet Explorer 5.0 is configured as follows: Under
the menu “Tools / Internet Options / General / Temporary
Internet Files / Settings,” the setting for “Check for newer
versions of stored pages” should be “Every visit to the page.”
