 ABOUT THE WIRELESS
BARRICADE ROUTER
Congratulations on your purchase of the Wireless Barricade™
Broadband Router. SMC is proud to provide you with a powerful
yet simple communication device for connecting your local area
network (LAN) to the Internet.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION !
For DSL-User without a flat rate contract.

With your DSL-router you have received a device of high quality,

which allows you fast and easy access to the Internet.

The factory default settings of this router have been done in a

way to provide you with uninterrupted access and use of the
Internet. With this background for cost reasons we recommend
that you enter into a "flat rate" - contract with your DSL-line
provider.

Why should you do that?

Please consider that a router, an entirely independent working

device, does not switch off automatically when shutting off your
PC!

You may trigger such an automatic shut-off by setting a so called

"idle-time" (for details consult your manual at PPPoE or PPTP
WAN access configuration). Depending at the set time (1 to 5
min) the router cuts the DSL-link when idle, indeed. But this still
does not provide for 100% security.

1
About the Wireless Barricade Router

This disconnect only happens if there are no more open requests

received from either the LAN or the WAN side (here this can be
requests from the internet, i.e. initiated through the use of so
called file sharing programs like eMule, eDonkey, etc.) that keep
the router active.

In order to counter such incalculable activity and protect yourself

from higher than expected on-line costs we therefore recommend
again a flat-rate contract for your DSL-connection.

The only safe alternative: Pull the plug!

That is to disconnect your router from the mains.

Please feel free to contact our SMC-hotline if you have further

questions.

** flat-rate is an offer of your DSL-line provider, which gives you

timely unlimited access to the Internet at a defined (flat-) rate.

Installing the Wireless Barricade Router

Immediately inform your dealer in the event of any incorrect,

missing or damaged parts. If possible, please retain the carton
and original packing materials in case there is a need to return
the product.

Hardware Description
The Wireless Barricade can be connected to the Internet using
its RJ-45 WAN port . It can be connected directly to your PC or to
a local area network using any of the Fast Ethernet LAN ports.

Access speed to the Internet depends on your service type.

Full-rate ADSL can provide up to 8 Mbps downstream and
640 Kbps upstream. G.lite (or splitterless) ADSL provides up to
1.5 Mbps downstream and 512 Kbps upstream. Cable modems
can provide up to 36 Mbps downstream and 2 Mbps upstream.
ISDN can provide up to 128 Kbps when using two bearer
channels. PSTN analog connections can now run up to 56 Kbps.
However, you should note that the actual rate provided by
specific service providers may vary dramatically from these
upper limits.

Although access speed to the Internet is determined by the

modem type connected to your Router, data passing between
devices connected to your local area network can run up to 100
Mbps over the Fast Ethernet ports.

The Wireless Barricade includes an LED display on the front

panel for system power and port indications that simplifies
installation and network troubleshooting. It also provides 4 RJ-45
LAN ports on the front panel, as well as one RJ-45 WAN port.
Full-duplex communications allow data to be sent and received
simultaneously, doubling the effective throughput.

6
 Hardware Description

• 4 RJ-45 ports for connection to a 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX

Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN). These ports can
auto-negotiate the operating speed to 10/100 Mbps, the mode
to half/full duplex, and the pin signals to MDI/MDI-X
(i.e., allowing these ports to be connected to any network
device with straight-through cable). These ports can be
connected directly to a PC or to a server equipped with an
Ethernet network interface card, or to a networking device
such as an Ethernet hub or switch.

• One RJ-45 port for connection to a DSL or cable modem

(WAN). This port also auto-negotiates operating speed to
10/100 Mbps, the mode to half/full duplex, and the pin signals

 Connect the System

Connect the System

The Wireless Barricade can be positioned at any convenient
location in your office or home. No special wiring or cooling
requirements are needed. You should, however comply with the
following guidelines:

• Keep the Wireless Barricade away from any heating devices.

• Do not place the Wireless Barricade in a dusty or wet

environment.
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 Wireless Barricade.

Basic Installation Procedure

1. Connect the LAN: You can connect the Wireless Barricade to
your PC, or to a hub or switch. Run Ethernet cable from one
of the LAN ports on the front of the Wireless Barricade to your
computer’s network adapter or to another network device.

You may also connect the Wireless Barricade to your PC

(using a wireless client adapter) via radio signals. Position
both antennas on the back of the Wireless Barricade into the
desired positions. For more effective coverage, position one
antenna along the vertical axis and the other antenna along
the horizontal axis. (The antennas emit signals along the
toroidal plane – and thus provide more effective
coverage when positioned along alternate axes.)

2. Connect the WAN: Prepare an Ethernet cable for connecting

the Wireless Barricade to a cable/DSL modem or Ethernet
router. Prepare a serial cable for connecting the Wireless
Barricade to an ISDN TA or PSTN modem.

Figure 2. Connecting the Wireless Barricade Router

Attach to Your Network Using Ethernet Cabling

The four LAN ports on the Wireless Barricade auto-negotiate the
connection speed to 10 Mbps Ethernet or 100 Mbps Fast
Ethernet, and the transmission mode to half duplex or full duplex.

Use twisted-pair cable to connect any of the four LAN ports on

the Wireless Barricade to an Ethernet adapter on your PC.
Otherwise, you can cascade any of the LAN ports on the
Wireless 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 Wireless Barricade.
Instead, use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45
connectors that conform with FCC standards.

10
Attach to Your Network Using Radio Signals
Install a wireless network adapter in each computer that will be
connected to the Internet or your local network via radio signals.
SMC currently offers several wireless network cards, including
the SMC2602W and SMC2632W Wireless cards.

Rotate both antennas on the back of the Wireless Barricade to

the desired position. For more effective coverage, position one
antenna along the vertical axis and the other along the horizontal
axis. Try to place the Wireless Barricade in a position that is
located in the center of your wireless network. Normally, the
higher you place the antenna, the better the performance. Ensure
that the Wireless Barricade’s location provides optimal reception
throughout your home or office.

Computers equipped with a wireless adapter can communicate

with each other as an independent wireless LAN by configuring
each computer to the same radio channel. However, the
Wireless Barricade can provide access to your wired/wireless
LAN or to the Internet for all wireless workstations. Each wireless
PC in this network infrastructure can talk to any computer in the
wireless group via a radio link, or access other computers or
network resources in the wired LAN infrastructure or over the
Internet via the Wireless Barricade.

The wireless infrastructure configuration not only extends the

accessibility of wireless PCs to the wired LAN, but also doubles
the effective wireless transmission range for wireless PCs by
retransmitting incoming radio signals through the Wireless
Barricade.

A wireless infrastructure can be used for access to a central

database, or for connection between mobile workers, as shown
in the following figure:

Remember not to include the address of the Wireless Barricade
in the client address pool. Also remember to configure your client
PCs for dynamic IP address allocation.

46
 Advanced Setup

Wireless
To configure the Wireless Barricade as a wireless access point
for wireless clients (either stationary or roaming), all you need to
do is define the radio channel, the Service Set identifier (SSID),
and encryption options.

Channel and SSID

You must specify a common radio channel and SSID (Service

Set ID) to be used by the Wireless Barricade and all of your
wireless clients. Be sure you configure all of your clients to the
same values.

ESSID: The Service Set ID. This should be set to the same value
as other wireless devices in your network. (Default: SMC.)

Note: The SSID is case sensitive and can consist of up to 32

alphanumeric characters.

47
Configuring the Wireless Barricade Router

Transmission Rate: Set the data rate transmitted

from the Wireless Barricade. The lower the data
rate, the longer the transmission distance.
(Default: Fully Automatic.)

Basic Rate: The highest rate specified is the rate the

Wireless Barricade will use when transmitting
broadcast/multicast and management frames.
Available options are: 1, 2, 5.5, and 11Mbps.
(Default: 2Mbps.)

Channel: The radio channel through which the Wireless

Barricade communicates with PCs in its BSS. (Default: 6)

Note: The available channel settings are limited by local

regulations.
Broadcast SSID: Broadcasting the SSID on the wireless
network for easy connection with client PCs.
(Default: Enable)

Encryption
If you are transmitting sensitive
data across wireless channels,
you should enable Wired
Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
encryption. Encryption requires you to use the same set of
encryption/decryption keys for the Wireless Barricade and all of
your wireless clients. You can choose between standard 64-bit or
the more robust 128-bit encryption.

48
 Advanced Setup

You may automatically generate encryption keys or manually

enter the keys. For automatic 64-bit security, enter a passphrase
and click Generate. Four keys will be generated (as shown
below). Choose a key from the drop-down list or accept the
default key. Automatic 128-bit security generates a single key.

49
Configuring the Wireless Barricade Router

If you use encryption, configure the same keys used for the
Wireless Barricade on each of your wireless clients. Note that
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) protects data transmitted
between wireless nodes, but does not protect any transmissions
over your wired network or over the Internet.

Network Address Translation (NAT)

From this section you can configure the Address Mapping, Virtual
Server, and Special Application features that provide control over
the port openings in the Wireless Barricade’s firewall. This
section can be used to support several Internet based
applications such as VPN

Address Mapping

Allows one or more public IP addresses to be shared by multiple

internal users. Enter the Public IP address you wish to share into
the Global IP field. Enter a range of internal IPs that will share the
global IP.

50
 Advanced Setup

Virtual Server

If you configure the Wireless Barricade as a virtual server,

remote users accessing services such as Web or FTP at your
local site via public IP addresses can be automatically redirected
to local servers configured with private IP addresses. In other
words, depending on the requested service (TCP/UDP port
number), the Wireless Barricade redirects the external service
request to the appropriate server (located at another internal IP
address).

For example, if you set Type/Public Port to TCP/80 (HTTP or

Web) and the Private IP/Port to 192.168.2.2/80, then all HTTP
requests from outside users will be transferred to 192.168.2.2 on
port 80. Therefore, by just entering the IP Address provided by
the ISP, Internet users can access the service they need at the
local address to which you redirect them.

The more common TCP service ports include:

HTTP: 80, FTP: 21, Telnet: 23, and POP3: 110.

51
Configuring the Wireless Barricade Router

Special Applications
Some applications, such as Internet gaming, videoconferencing,
Internet telephony and others, require multiple connections.
These applications cannot work with Network Address
Translation (NAT) enabled. If you need to run applications that
require multiple connections, use the following screen to specify
the additional public ports to be opened for each application.

Specify the public port number normally associated with an

application in the Trigger Port field. Set the protocol type to TCP
or UDP, then enter the ports that the application requires. The
ports may be in the format 7, 11, 57, or in a range, e.g., 72-96, or
a combination of both, e.g., 7, 11, 57, 72-96.

For a full list of ports and the services that run on them, see
www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers.

52
 Advanced Setup

Firewall
The Wireless Barricade firewall can provide access control of
connected client PCs, block common hacker attacks, including IP
Spoofing, Land Attack, Ping of Death, IP with zero length, Smurf
Attack, UDP port loopback, Snork Attack, TCP null scan, and
TCP SYN flooding. The firewall does not significantly affect
system performance, so we advise leaving it enabled to protect
your network users.
