Hardware Description

The Barricade connects to the Internet or to a remote site using its WAN

RJ-45 port linked to a modem. It also can be connected directly to your PC

or to a local area network using the Fast Ethernet LAN port.

Access speed to the Internet depends on your service type. Full-rate ADSL

provides up to 8 Mbps downstream and 1 Mbps upstream. G.lite (or

splitterless) ADSL provides up to 1.5 Mbps downstream and 512 kbps

upstream. However, you should note that the actual rate provided by

specific service providers may vary dramatically from these upper limits.

Data passing between devices connected to your local area network can

run at up to 100 Mbps over the Fast Ethernet port and 54 Mbps over the

built-in wireless network adapter.

The Barricade includes an LED display on the front panel for system

power and port indications that simplifies installation and network

troubleshooting.
