Congratulations on your purchase of the Wireless Barricade™
Broadband Router. SMC is proud to provide you with a powerful
yet simple communication device for connecting your local area
network (LAN) to the Internet.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION !
For DSL-User without a flat rate contract.
With your DSL-router you have received a device of high quality,
which allows you fast and easy access to the Internet.
The factory default settings of this router have been done in a
way to provide you with uninterrupted access and use of the
Internet. With this background for cost reasons we recommend
that you enter into a "flat rate" - contract with your DSL-line
provider.
Why should you do that?
Please consider that a router, an entirely independent working
device, does not switch off automatically when shutting off your
PC!
You may trigger such an automatic shut-off by setting a so called
"idle-time" (for details consult your manual at PPPoE or PPTP
WAN access configuration). Depending at the set time (1 to 5
min) the router cuts the DSL-link when idle, indeed. But this still
does not provide for 100% security.
