Connecting the Barricade to your LAN
The four LAN ports on the Barricade auto-negotiate the connection speed 
to 10 Mbps Ethernet or 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet, as well as the 
transmission mode to half duplex or full duplex.
Use RJ-45 cables to connect any of the four LAN ports on the Barricade 
to an Ethernet adapter on your PC. Otherwise, cascade any of the LAN 
ports on the Barricade to an Ethernet hub or switch, and then connect 
your PC or other network equipment to the hub or switch. When inserting 
an RJ-45 connector, be sure the tab on the connector clicks into position 
to ensure that it is properly seated.
Warning: Do not plug a phone jack connector into an RJ-45 port. This 
may damage the 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 Ethernet ports. 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 length does not exceed 
100 meters (328 feet).
