Other LAN Devices

If you have a Router, or an existing DHCP Server, it may need to be configured.

Router and/or DHCP Server Configuration is required ONLY if using the
Barricade to provide shared Internet Access.

Note:

If the Barricade is acting as a DHCP Client (rather than a DHCP Server),
than it can NOT provide shared Internet Access.

If the Barricade has a fixed IP Address, it CAN provide shared Internet
Access. So it is possible to use an existing DHCP Server on your LAN,
provided the Barricade is not a DHCP Client.

Router Configuration

If your LAN has a Router or Routers, it or they must be configured to pass

Internet packets to the Barricade.

Generally, this is done by setting the “Default Route” to be the Barricade. If

necessary, check your Router’s documentation for details of this procedure.

Existing DHCP Server Configuration

If your LAN is using another DHCP Server (rather than the Barricade’s), configure
the DHCP Server to provide the Barricade's IP Address as the Gateway IP Address.
