Step 2. Connect the Ethernet cable
If you are connecting a LAN to the ADSL Barricade, attach one end
of a provided Ethernet cable to a regular hub port and the other to
the Ethernet port on the ADSL Barricade. If you are using the ADSL
Barricade with a single computer and no hub, you must use an
Ethernet cable to attach the PC directly to the device. The cable is
wired differently than the cable you would use to connect to a hub.
Step 3. Attach the power connector
Connect the AC power adapter to the Power connector on the back
of the device and plug in the adapter to a wall outlet or power strip.
Step 4. Power up your systems
Turn on and boot up your computer(s) and any LAN devices
such as hubs or switches.
Configuring Your Computers
This section provides instructions for configuring the Internet
settings on your computers to work with the ADSL Barricade.
Before you begin
By default, the ADSL Barricade automatically assigns all required
Internet settings to your PCs. You need only to configure the PCs
to accept the information when it is assigned.
Note: In some cases, you may want to assign Internet
information manually to some or all of your computers
rather than allow the ADSL Barricade to do so. See
Assigning static Internet Information to your PCs on
page 16 for instructions.
