Installing the Router  
Hardware Description  
The Barricade Router can be connected to the Internet or to a  
remote site using its RJ-45 WAN port or RS-232 serial port. It can  
be connected directly to your PC or to a local area network using  
any of the Fast Ethernet LAN ports. It can also 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. 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 Router, data passing  
between devices connected to your local area network can run  
up to 100 Mbps over the Fast Ethernet ports.  
The Barricade Router 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, one RS-232  
serial port and one parallel printer port on the rear  
panel.Full-duplex communications allow data to be sent and  
received simultaneously, doubling the effective throughput.

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  
to MDI/MDI-X.  
One RS-232 serial port to connect to an ISDN Terminal  
Adapter (TA) or to a PSTN analog modem.  
One parallel printer port that can be connected to a printer.  
This printer can then be shared by any LAN users.

After installing the TCP/IP communication protocols and  
configuring an IP address in the same network as the Barricade  
Router, use the Ping command to check if your computer has  
successfully connected to the Barricade Router. The following  
example shows how the Ping procedure can be executed in an  
MS-DOS window. First, execute the Ping command:  
ping 192.168.2.1  
If a message similar to the following appears:  
Pinging 192.168.2.1 with 32 bytes of data:  
Reply from 192.168.2.1: bytes=32 time=2ms TTL=64  
a communication link between your computer and the Barricade  
Router has been successfully established.

Configuring Client TCP/IP  
Pinging 192.168.2.1 with 32 bytes of data:  
Request timed out.  
there may be something wrong in your installation procedure.  
Check the following items in sequence:  
1. Is the Ethernet cable correctly connected between the  
Barricade Router and the computer?  
The LAN LED on the Barricade Router and the Link LED of  
the network card on your computer must be on.  
2. Is TCP/IP properly configured on your computer?  
If the IP address of the Barricade Router is 192.168.2.1, the  
IP address of your PC must be from 192.168.2.2 -  
192.168.2.254 and the default gateway must be 192.168.2.1.  
If you can successfully Ping the Barricade Router you are now  
ready to connect to the Internet!

specified by the user, e.g. 192.168.2.100 (default value).  
Once this start IP address has been assigned, IP addresses  
running from 192.168.2.100 to 192.168.2.199 will be part of  
the dynamic IP address pool. IP addresses from 192.168.2.2  
to 192.168.2.99, and 192.168.2.200 to 192.168.2.254 will be

Virtual Server  
If you configure the Barricade Router 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 Router 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.

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.  
Popular applications requiring multiple ports are listed in the  
Popular Applications field. From the drop-down list, choose the  
application and then choose a row number to copy this data into.  
Note: Choosing a row that already contains data will

Advanced Setup  
Stateful Packet Inspection – This is called a “stateful” packet  
inspection because it examines the contents of the packet to  
determine the state of the communications; i.e., it ensures that  
the stated destination computer has previously requested the  
current communication. This is a way of ensuring that all  
communications are initiated by the recipient computer and  
are taking place only with sources that are known and trusted  
from previous interactions. In addition to being more rigorous  
in their inspection of packets, stateful inspection firewalls also  
close off ports until connection to the specific port is  
requested.  
When particular types of traffic are checked, only the  
particular type of traffic initiated from the internal LAN will be  
allowed. For example, if the user only checks FTP Service in  
the Stateful Packet Inspection section, all incoming traffic will  
be blocked except for FTP connections initiated from the local  
LAN.  
Stateful Packet Inspection allows you to select different  
application types that are using dynamic port numbers. If you  
wish to use the Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) to block  
packets, click on the Yes radio button in the “Enable SPI and  
Anti-DoS firewall protection” field and then check the  
inspection type that you need, such as Packet Fragmentation,  
TCP Connection, UDP Session, FTP Service, H.323 Service,  
and TFTP Service.

DDNS (Dynamic DNS) Settings  
Domain Name – A series of alphanumeric strings separated by  
periods, that is the address of a the Barricade Router network  
connection and that identifies the owner of the address.  
Dynamic DNS provides users on the Internet with a method to tie  
their domain name(s) to computers or servers. DDNS allows your  
domain name to follow your IP address automatically by having  
your DNS records changed when your IP address changes.  
The section also has a “Server Configuration” section that  
automatically opens the port options checked in the Virtual  
Server section. Simply enter in the IP Address of your server,  
such as a web server, and then click on the port option HTTP  
Port 80 so users can access your server from the WAN  
connection (Internet).

Troubleshooting  
If you have any other IP address information listed see below.  
If you have an IP address that starts with 169.254.XXX.XXX then  
see the next section.  
If you have another IP address configured, then see section A.3  
I am getting an IP Address that starts with 169.254.XXX.XXX  
If you are getting this IP Address, then you need to check that  
you are properly connected to the Barricade Router.  
Confirm that you have a good link light on the Barricade for the  
port this computer is connected to. If not, please try another  
cable.  
If you have a good link light, please open up a DOS window as  
described in the previous section and type ipconfig/renew.  
If you are still unable to get an IP Address from the Barricade,  
reinstall your network adapter. Please refer to your adapter  
manual for information on how to do this.  
I have another IP Address displayed  
If you have another IP address listed then the PC may not be  
configured for a DHCP connection. Please refer to “Configuring  
Client TCP/IP” on page 9 for information.  
Once you have confirmed your computer is configured for DHCP,  
then please follow the steps below.  
1. Open a DOS window as described above.  
2. Type ipconfig/release.
