Attach to Your Network Using Ethernet Cabling

The four LAN ports on the Barricade ADSL Router auto-negotiate the
connection speed to 10 Mbps Ethernet or 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet, as well
as the transmission mode to half duplex or full duplex.

Use RJ-45 cables to connect any of the four LAN ports on the Barricade
ADSL Router to an Ethernet adapter on your PC. Otherwise, cascade any
of the LAN ports on the Barricade ADSL Router to an Ethernet hub or
switch, and then connect your PC or other network equipment to the hub
or switch. When inserting an RJ-45 connector, be sure the tab on the
connector clicks into position to ensure that it is properly seated.

Warning:

Do not plug a phone jack connector into an RJ-45 port. This
may damage the Barricade ADSL Router.

Notes: 1. Use 100-ohm shielded or unshielded twisted-pair cable with

RJ-45 connectors for all Ethernet ports. Use Category 3, 4, or 5
for connections that operate at 10 Mbps, and Category 5 for
connections that operate at 100 Mbps.

2. Make sure each twisted-pair cable length does not exceed

100 meters (328 feet).

Connect the Power Adapter

Plug the power adapter into the power socket on the rear of the Barricade
ADSL Router, and the other end into a power outlet.

Check the power indicator on the front panel is lit. If the power indicator is
not lit, refer to “Troubleshooting” on page A-1.

In case of a power input failure, the Barricade ADSL Router will
automatically restart and begin to operate once the input power is restored.
