Hardware Overview

Back Panel

POWER

The Power input connector is a single jack socket to supply power to the SMCWGBR14-N.

Please use the Power Adapter provided in the SMCWGBR14-N package.

RESET

Pressing the reset button for 10 seconds restores the router to its original factory default settings.

WAN (Auto MDI/MDIX)

The WAN port is used to connect to an Ethernet Cable or xDSL modem

LAN1-4 (Auto MDI/MDIX)

The LAN ports are used for connecting networking devices such as PC’s, Printers & Switches. The

LAN ports automatically sense the cable type when connecting to Ethernet enabled computers.

Front Panel

POWER LED

A solid green LED indicates the SMCWGBR14-N is receiving power – normal operation. If the LED is

off there is no power to device or failure.

LAN1-4 LED

A solid orange LED indicates the corresponding LAN port connection is established. The LED blinks

when data is transmitted. If the LED is off there is no link for corresponding LAN port.

WAN LED

A solid orange LED indicates the WAN port connection is established.

The LED blinks when

data is transmitted. If the LED is off there is no link for the WAN port.

WLAN LED

A solid orange LED indicates the wireless AP is ready.

The LED blinks when wireless data is

transmitted.

WPS LED

After pressing the WPS button for 4 seconds the WPS LED will blink continually. When a

client joins the network successfully the LED will stop blinking and become solid until the next

WPS action or the device is rebooted. If no client joins the LED will stop blinking and switch

off after 4 minutes.

WPS Button

Press and hold the WPS button for 4 seconds to automatically configure wireless security. If the client

device supports WPS Push Button Configuration (PBC) you will need to press the button within 60

seconds to automatically configure security on the client.

Note:

WPS LED will start to flash after

pressing WPS button for 4 seconds. When a client joins the network successfully the LED will stop

blinking and become solid until the next WPS action or the device is rebooted. If no client joins the

LED will stop blinking and switch off after 4 minutes.

USB

The USB2.0 port can be used for connecting USB printers. For a list of printers refer to Appendix A.

WLAN ON/OFF

The WLAN ON/OFF slide switch can be used to turn the wireless AP function ON/OFF

Installation Considerations

The SMCWGBR14-N lets you access your network, using a wireless connection, from virtually

anywhere within its operating range. Keep in mind, however, that the number, thickness and location

of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit the range.

Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise

in your home or business. The key to maximizing wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:

1

Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the SMCWGBR14-N and other network

devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce your wireless product’s range from

3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is

minimized.

2

Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (.5 meters), at

a 45-degree angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks

over 42 feet (14 meters) thick! Position devices so that the signal will travel straight through a

wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception.

3

Building Materials can impede the wireless signal - a solid metal door or aluminum studs may

have a negative effect on range. Try to position wireless devices and computers with wireless

adapters so that the signal passes through drywall or open doorways and not other materials.

4

Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances

that generate extreme RF noise.

Getting Started

For a typical home setup, you will need a Broadband (Cable/xDSL) Internet service and Modem

with Ethernet connection. Consult with your Cable or xDSL provider for proper installation of the

modem. Please do the following:

1.

Connect your Broadband modem (Cable/xDSL) to the blue WAN port on the Barricade™

2.

Connect the network card of your PC to the yellow LAN port on the Barricade™ using the

yellow RJ-45 cable provided. Now connect the power adapter.

3.

Reboot PC. Start web browser and enter address http://192.168.2.1. When prompted enter

password smcadmin then click [Log In]. Note: The User Name must be set to Admin

.

4.

Click [BASIC], then [Setup Wizard], then [Launch Internet Connection Setup Wizard]. Follow

the on screen instructions to complete the set-up and reboot the Barricade™. You are now

ready to enjoy your Internet connection.
