Warning: Do not plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45

port. This may damage the Wireless Barricade. Instead,
use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that
conform with FCC standards.

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

with RJ-45 connectors for all connections. 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 does not exceed 100

meters (328 feet).

Attach to Your Network Using Radio Signals

Install a wireless network adapter in each computer that will be
connected to the Internet or your local network via radio signals.
SMC currently offers several wireless network cards, including the
SMC2602W Wireless PCI card and the SMC2632W Wireless PC card.

Rotate both antennas on the back of the Wireless Barricade to the
desired position. For more effective coverage, position one
antenna along the vertical axis and the other along the horizontal
axis. Try to place the Wireless Barricade in a position that is
located in the center of your wireless network. Normally, the
higher you place the antenna, the better the performance. Ensure
that the Wireless Barricade’s location provides optimal reception
throughout your home or office.
