Basic Installation Procedure
1. Connect the LAN: Connect the Wireless Barricade™ to your
PC, or to a hub or switch. Run Ethernet cable from one of
the LAN ports on the rear 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
the antennas along different axex. For example, try positioning
the antennas around 45 to 90 degress apart.
(The antennas emit signals along the toroidal plane –
and thus provide more effective coverage when
positioned along different axes).
2. Connect the WAN: Prepare an Ethernet cable for connecting
the Wireless Barricade™ to a cable/xDSL modem or Ethernet
router.
3. Power on: Connect the power adapter to the Wireless
Barricade™.
