SMC is proud to provide you with a powerful yet simple communication device for connecting your local area network (wired or wireless LAN) to the Internet. For those who want to surf on the Internet at the lowest possible cost, this Broadband Router provides a convenient and powerful solution. About the Barricade The Barricade provides Internet access to multiple users by sharing a single-user account. The Barricades most outstanding features include wireless LAN connectivity, as well as the dual-port WAN interface which allows you to connect to an xDSL or Cable modem, ISDN TA or PSTN analog modem. The Barricade provides extensive firewall protection and Virtual Private Network (VPN) services. It also provides print services for any client attached to a LAN port. The Barricade supports dial-on-demand for ISDN/PSTN service, automatically connecting to the Internet when there are requests and terminating the connection if no further requests occur. This dual-port design also supports fail-over Internet access through the secondary WAN port (i.e., the serial port can be used for primary or backup Internet access). This new Barricade technology provides many cost-effective functions and management benefits. It is simple to configure and can be up and running in minutes. 1-1 FEATURES AND BENEFITS Features and Benefits

Compatible with all popular Internet applications 1-2 Applications INTRODUCTION Many advanced applications are provided by the Barricade, such as:
Flexible LAN Access The Barricade provides connectivity to 10/100 Mbps wired devices as well as 11 Mbps wireless mobile users. The wireless interface makes it easy to create a network in difficult-to-wire environments, or to provide quick access to databases for mobile workers.
Internet Access This device supports Internet access through an xDSL, Cable, ISDN or PSTN connection. Since many DSL providers use PPPoE to establish communications with end users, the Barricade includes a built-in client for this protocol, eliminating the need to install this service on your computer.
Shared IP Address The Barricade provides Internet access for up to 253 users with a shared IP address. Using only one ISP account, multiple users on your network can browse the Web at the same time.
Virtual Server If you have a fixed IP address, you can set up the Barricade to act as a virtual host for network address translation. Remote users access various services at your site using a constant IP address. Then, depending on the requested service (or port number), the Barricade can route the request to the appropriate server (at another internal IP address). This secures your network from direct attack by hackers, and provides more flexible management by allowing you to change internal IP addresses without affecting outside access to your network. 1-3 APPLICATIONS
User-Definable Application Sensing Tunnel You can define special applications that require multiple connections such as Internet gaming, video conferencing, and Internet telephony. The Barricade can then sense the application type and open a multi-port tunnel for it.
DMZ Host Support Allows a networked computer to be fully exposed to the Internet. This function is used when the special application sensing tunnel feature is insufficient to allow an application to function correctly.
Security The Barricade supports security features that can deny Internet access to specified users, or filter all requests for specific services the administrator does not want to serve. The Barricades firewall can also 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.
Virtual Private Network The Barricade supports three of the most commonly used VPN protocols PPTP, L2TP and IPSec. These protocols allow remote users to establish a secure connection to their corporate network. If your service provider supports VPNs, then any of these protocols can be used to create an authenticated and encrypted tunnel for passing secure data over the Internet (i.e., a traditionally shared data network). The VPN protocols supported by the Barricade are briefly described below. 1-4 INTRODUCTION
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol Provides a secure tunnel for remote client access to a PPTP security gateway. PPTP includes provisions for call origination and flow control required by ISPs.
Layer Two Tunneling Protocol Includes most of the features provided by PPTP, but has less overhead and is more suited for managed networks.
IP Security Provides IP network-layer encryption. IPSec can support large encryption networks (such as the Internet) by using digital certificates for device authentication. 1-5 APPLICATIONS 1-6 CHAPTER 2 INSTALLATION Before installing the Barricade Wireless Broadband Router, verify that you have all the items listed under Package Contents. If any of the items are missing or damaged, contact your local SMC distributor. Also be sure you have all the necessary cabling before installing the gateway.

The Barricade Broadband Router is covered by a limited lifetime warranty. Description of Hardware The Barricade Wireless Broadband Router can be connected to the Internet or to a remote site using its RJ-45 WAN port or RS232 console port. It can be connected directly to your PC or to a local area network using any of the three Fast Ethernet LAN ports or through the wireless interface. It can even function as a print server. Access speed to the Internet depends on your service type. Full-rate ADSL can provide up to 8 Mbps downstream and 640 Mbps 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. And 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 Barricade, data passing between devices connected to your local area network can run up to 100 Mbps over the Fast Ethernet ports. The Barricade includes an LED display on the front panel for system power and port indications that simplifies installation and network troubleshooting. It also provides three RJ-45 LAN ports on the front panel; as well as one RJ-45 WAN port, one RS-232 serial port, one parallel printer port, and two antennas on the rear panel. 2-2 INSTALLATION

Connecting the Barricade SOHO Office or Residence Attach to Your Network Using Ethernet Cabling The three 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. These LAN ports also support auto-configuration for cable wiring
(auto-MDI/MDI-X) that allows you to use either straight-through cable for connecting the gateway to any network device. (See Appendix B for details on wiring.) Use twisted-pair cable to connect any of the three 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. 2-7 INSTALLATION Warning: Do not plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45 port. This may damage the gateway. 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). RESET PRINTER COM WAN 1 2 3 5V 2A MAX Figure 2-3. Making LAN Connections 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 PCI card and the SMC2652W PC card. Rotate both antennas on the back of the Barricade to an upright position. Try to place the 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 Barricades location provides optimal reception throughout your home or office. 2-8 INSTALLATION 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 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 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 signals through the 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:

You can use the Setup Wizard by clicking the Enter button at the bottom of the page and changing the required settings, or you can select the specific items you need to change from the Setup menu on the left side of the screen. 4-5 NETWORKING AND CLIENT SERVICES Change Password Use this menu to restrict management access based on a specific password. Anyone can access the Status and Help menus, but you must enter the user name Admin and a password to access the configuration options provided by the Setup and Tools menus. The default password is null, so please assign a password to the Administrator as soon as possible, and store it in a safe place. Passwords can contain from 312 alphanumeric characters, and are not case sensitive. Note: If your password is lost, or you cannot gain access to the management interface, press the Reset button on the front panel (holding it down for at least five seconds). 4-6 CONFIGURING THE BARRICADE Set Time Zone Set the time zone for the Barricade. This time is used for log entries and client filtering. LAN Gateway and DHCP Settings Configure the gateway address of the Barricade. To dynamically assign the IP address for client PCs, enable the DHCP Server, set the lease time, and then specify the address range. Also remember to configure all of your client PCs for dynamic address allocation. Valid IP addresses consist of four numbers, and are separated by periods. The first three fields are the network portion, and can be from 0255, while the last field is the host portion and can be from 1254. However, remember not to include the gateway address of the Barricade in the client address pool. 4-7 NETWORKING AND CLIENT SERVICES WAN Configuration Specify the WAN connection type required by your Internet Service Provider, then click More Configuration to provide detailed configuration parameters for the selected connection type. Specify one of the first three options to configure a WAN connection through the RJ-45 port (i.e., a connection to a DSL modem or Cable modem). Specify the Dial-up on Demand option to configure a WAN connection through the serial port (i.e., a connection to an ISDN TA or PSTN modem). Note: If WAN connections are configured for both the RJ-45 and serial port, the serial port will be used as a backup Internet connection if the primary RJ-45 WAN connection fails. 4-8 CONFIGURING THE BARRICADE Dynamic IP Address DHCP The Host Name is optional, but may be required by some ISPs. The default MAC address is set to the WANs physical interface on the Barricade. Use this address when registering for Internet service, and do not change it unless required by your ISP. You can use the Clone MAC Address button to copy the MAC address of the Ethernet Card installed by your ISP (in your PC) and replace the WAN MAC address with this MAC address. Static IP Address Fixed IP If your Internet Service Provider has assigned a fixed address, enter the assigned address and subnet mask for the Barricade, then enter the gateway address of your ISP. 4-9 NETWORKING AND CLIENT SERVICES Note: You may need a fixed address if you want to provide Internet services, such as a Web server or FTP. PPP over Ethernet PPPoE Enter the PPPoE user name and password assigned by your ISP. The Service Name is normally optional, but may be required by some providers. 4-10 CONFIGURING THE BARRICADE Dial-up on Demand Modem If you are accessing the Internet via an ISDN TA or PSTN modem attached to the serial port on the Barricade, then you must specify your account information on this screen as described below. Check if you only use a dial-up modem to connect to the Internet. If the serial port is used for primary Internet access, then mark this item. If not marked, then this connection will only be used for backup access if the primary WAN link fails. Dial-Up Service Phone Number Enter the phone number your service provider has given to you for Internet access. Dial-Up Account Information Enter your ISP account user name and password. Has your Internet Service Provider given you an IP address?
If you are assigned a dynamic IP address every time you dial up, mark No for this item. However, if your ISP has assigned a fixed IP address for you to use, mark Yes for this item and enter the IP 4-11 NETWORKING AND CLIENT SERVICES address and subnet mask. Note: If your ISP has given you a secondary phone number, or if you have a secondary Internet service account, then fill in the relevant fields under Secondary Dial-up. DNS Configuration Domain Name Servers are used to map an IP address to the equivalent domain name (e.g., www.smc.com). Your ISP should provide the IP address for one or more domain name servers. Enter those addresses on this screen. Wireless Configuration To configure the Barricade as a wireless access point for wireless clients (either stationary or roaming), all you need to do is define the radio channel, the domain identifier, and encryption options. You can use the Setup Wizard by clicking the Enter button at the bottom of the page and changing the required settings, or you can select Channel and SSID or Encryption from the Setup menu on the left side of the screen. 4-12 CONFIGURING THE BARRICADE Channel and SSID You must specify a common radio channel and service domain
(i.e., Extended Service Set ID) to be used by the Barricade and all of your wireless clients. Be sure you configure all of your clients to the same values. Encryption If you are transmitting sensitive data across wireless channels, you should enable encryption. Encryption requires you to use the same set of encryption/decryption keys for the Barricade and all of your wireless clients. However, note that the extra processing time required for encryption may affect the throughput for wireless communications, and therefore should not be used unless actually necessary. 4-13 NETWORKING AND CLIENT SERVICES You can automatically generate encryption keys by entering a pass phrase that will be used to create four keys as shown below, or you can manually enter the keys. To manually configure the keys, enter five hexadecimal pairs for each key. (A hexadecimal digit is a number or letter in the range 0-9 or A-F.) If you use encryption, then configure the same keys used for the Barricade on each of your wireless clients. Note that the Wireless Encryption Protocol (WEP) protects data transmitted between wireless nodes, but does not protect any transmissions over your wired network or over the Internet. 4-14 CONFIGURING THE BARRICADE Configuring Client Services The Barricade includes a broad range of client services, including firewall protection, network address translation / virtual server, connection support for special applications, and restricted Internet access for specified clients. You can configure these functions using the Setup Wizard by clicking Enter at the bottom of the Advanced Settings screen, or by selecting specific items from the menu at the left of the screen. Firewall Protection The Barricades firewall can 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. 4-15 NETWORKING AND CLIENT SERVICES Network Address Translation NAT Network Address Translation can be used to give multiple users access to the Internet with a single user account, or to map the local address for an IP server (such as Web or FTP) to a public address. This secures your network from direct attack by hackers, and provides more flexible management by allowing you to change internal IP addresses without affecting outside access to your network. Note that NAT must be enabled to provide multi-
user access to the Internet or to use the Virtual Server function. 4-16 CONFIGURING THE BARRICADE Virtual Server If you configure the 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 Barricade redirects the external service request to the appropriate server
(located at another internal IP address). You must have a fixed IP to utilize this function. 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 request from outside users 4-17 NETWORKING AND CLIENT SERVICES will be transferred to 192.168.2.2. 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. Some of the more common TCP service ports include:
HTTP: 80, FTP: 21, Telnet: 23 and POP3: 110. Enabling Special Applications Some applications require multiple connections, such as Internet games, videoconferencing, Internet telephony and others. These applications may not work when Network Address Translation
(NAT) is 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. 4-18 CONFIGURING THE BARRICADE Specify the port normally associated with an application in the Trigger Port field, select the protocol type as TCP or UDP, then enter the public ports associated with the trigger port to open them for inbound traffic. Note: If an application still cannot function correctly after enabling multiple ports via the Special Application screen, you may have to open the client PC for full Internet access using the DMZ Host option. Virtual DMZ Host If you have a client PC that cannot run an Internet application properly from behind the NAT firewall or after configuring the Special Applications function, then you can open the client up to unrestricted two-way Internet access. Enter the IP address of a DMZ host to this screen. Adding a client to the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) may expose your local network to a variety of security risks, so only use this option as a last resort. 4-19 NETWORKING AND CLIENT SERVICES Remote Management By default, management access is only available to users on your local network. However, you can also manage the Barricade from a remote host by adding the IP address of an administrator to this screen. Note: If you specify an IP address of 0.0.0.0, any host can manage the Barricade. 4-20 CONFIGURING THE BARRICADE Client Filtering You can filter Internet access for local clients based on IP address, application type (i.e., HTTP port), and time of day. For example, this screen shows that clients in the address range 192.168.2.50-99 are permanently restricted from using FTP (Port 21), while clients in the address range 192.168.2.110-119 are blocked from browsing the Internet from Monday through Friday. 4-21 VIEWING NETWORK AND DEVICE STATUS Viewing Network and Device Status You can use the following screen to display the connection status for the WAN/WLAN/LAN interfaces, firmware and hardware version numbers, any illegal attempts to access your network, as well as information on all DHCP clients connected to your network. The following items are included in this screen:
Field INTERNET GATEWAY INFORMATION Security Log DHCP Client Log Description Displays WAN connection type and status. Displays system IP settings, the status for DHCP, NAT and Firewall services, as well as the wireless interface settings. Displays the number of attached clients, the firmware versions, the physical MAC address for each media interface, as well as the hardware version and serial number. Displays any illegal attempts to access your network. Displays information on all DHCP clients on your network. 4-22 CONFIGURING THE BARRICADE Using System Tools You can use the Tools menu to reboot the Barricade, restore factory settings, or update firmware. Note: If you use the Reset button on the front panel, the Barricade performs a power reset and restores the factory settings. 4-23 USING SYSTEM TOOLS 4-24 CHAPTER 5 CONFIGURING CLIENT TCP/IP If you have previously installed the TCP/IP protocol on your client PCs, refer to the following section.
