Navigating the Web Browser Interface
The Wireless Barricade’s management interface includes four key
menus – Status, Help, Tools, and Setup. The Status and Help
menus provide general information on the current settings and
how to configure the Wireless Barricade. The Setup menu is used
to configure the LAN, WAN and wireless interface, as well as other
advanced functions. The Tools menu is used to reset the Wireless
Barricade, restore the factory settings, or upgrade firmware.
Setting a Password
If this is your first time to access the Wireless Barricade, you
should define a new Administrator password, record it and put it
in a safe place. From the Main Menu, select “Setup,” then “Change
Password” and follow the instructions on the screen (see page
4-6). Note that passwords can consist of 3 to 12 alphanumeric
characters and are case-sensitive.
Making Configuration Changes
Configurable parameters have a dialog box or a drop-down list.
Once a configuration change has been made on a page, be sure to
click the “Enter” button at the bottom of the page to confirm the
new setting.
Note: To ensure proper screen refresh after a command entry, be
sure that Internet Explorer 5.0 is configured as follows:
Under the menu “Tools / Internet Options / General /
Temporary Internet Files / Settings,” the setting for “Check
for newer versions of stored pages” should be “Every visit
to the page.”
