However, remember not to include the gateway address of the Wireless Barricade in the client address pool. The Domain Name is optional, but this information may be specified so that it can be passed to the client PCs.
CONFIGURING THE BARRICADE Dynamic IP Address – DHCP The Host Name is optional, but may be required by some ISPs. The default MAC address is set to the WAN’s physical interface on the Wireless Barricade. Use this address when registering for Internet service, and do not change it unless required by your ISP. You can use the “Clone MAC Address” button to copy the MAC address of the Ethernet Card installed by your ISP (in your PC) and replace the WAN MAC address with this MAC address.
NETWORKING AND CLIENT SERVICES Note: You may need a fixed address if you want to provide Internet services, such as a Web server or FTP server. PPP over Ethernet – PPPoE Enter the PPPoE user name and password assigned by your ISP. The Service Name is normally optional, but may be required by some providers.
CONFIGURING THE BARRICADE Dial-up on Demand – Modem If you are accessing the Internet via an ISDN TA or PSTN modem attached to the serial port on the Wireless Barricade, then you must specify your account information on this screen as described below. Check if you only use a dial-up modem to connect to the Internet. – If the serial port is used for primary Internet access, then mark this item. If not marked, then this connection will only be used for backup access if the primary WAN link fails.
NETWORKING AND CLIENT SERVICES IP address for you to use, mark “Yes” for this item and enter the IP address and subnet mask. Note: If your ISP has given you a secondary phone number, or if you have a secondary Internet service account, then fill in the relevant fields under “Secondary Dial-up.” DNS Configuration Domain Name Servers are used to map an IP address to the equivalent domain name (e.g., www.smc.com). Your ISP should provide the IP address for one or more domain name servers.
CONFIGURING THE BARRICADE Wireless Configuration To configure the Wireless Barricade as a wireless access point for wireless clients (either stationary or roaming), all you need to do is define the radio channel, the domain identifier, and encryption options. You can use the Setup Wizard by clicking the “Enter” button at the bottom of the page and changing the required settings, or you can select “Channel and SSID” or “Encryption” from the Setup menu on the left side of the screen.

You can configure these functions using the Setup Wizard by clicking “Enter” at the bottom of the Advanced Settings screen, or by selecting specific items from the menu on the left of the screen.
CONFIGURING THE BARRICADE Virtual Server If you configure the Wireless Barricade as a virtual server, remote users accessing services such as Web or FTP at your local site via public IP addresses can be automatically redirected to local servers configured with private IP addresses. In other words, depending on the requested service (TCP/UDP port number), the Wireless Barricade redirects the external service request to the appropriate server (located at another internal IP address).
NETWORKING AND CLIENT SERVICES HTTP request from outside users will be transferred to 192.168.2.2. Therefore, by just entering the IP Address provided by the ISP, Internet users can access the service they need at the local address to which you redirect them. Some of the more common TCP service ports include: HTTP: 80, FTP: 21, Telnet: 23 and POP3: 110. Enabling Special Applications Some applications require multiple connections, such as Internet gaming, videoconferencing, Internet telephony and others.
CONFIGURING THE BARRICADE Specify the port normally associated with an application in the “Trigger Port” field, select the protocol type as TCP or UDP, then enter the public ports associated with the trigger port to open them for inbound traffic.
