Connecting the BARRICADE to your LAN
The four LAN ports on the BARRICADE 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.
Use RJ-45 cables to connect any of the four LAN ports on the
BARRICADE to an Ethernet adapter on your PC. Otherwise, cascade any
of the 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 connector, be sure the tab on the connector
clicks into position to ensure that it is properly seated.
Warning:
Do not plug a phone jack connector into an 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 Ethernet ports. 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 length does not exceed
100 meters (328 feet).
Connect the Power Adapter
Plug the power adapter into the power socket on the side panel of the
BARRICADE, and the other end into a power outlet.
Check the power indicator on the front panel is lit. If the power i
ndicator is
not lit, refer to
“Troubleshooting” on page A-1.
In case of a power input failure, the BARRICADE will automatically
restart and begin to operate once the input power is restored.
If the
BARRICADE
is properly configured, it will take about 30 seconds to
establish a connection with the ADSL service provider after powering up.
