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 RS-232
serial 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 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. 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 Wireless Barricade, 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 three RJ-45 LAN
ports, one RJ-45 WAN port, one RS-232 serial port, one parallel
printer port, as well as two antennas on the rear panel.
