COMPLIANCES Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures: · Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna · Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver · Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected · Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help FCC Caution: To assure continued compliance, (example - use only shielded interface cables when connecting to computer or peripheral devices) any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. IMPORTANT NOTE: FCC Radiation Exposure Statement This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 centimeters (8 inches) between the radiator and your body. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. SMC declared that SMCWBR14-G is limited in CH1~11 from 2400 to 2483.5 MHz by specified firmware controlled in USA. i Compliances Industry Canada - Class B Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1) this device may not cause interference and 2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus as set out in the interference-causing equipment standard entitled "Digital Apparatus," ICES-003 of the Department of Communications. Cet appareil numérique respecte les limites de bruits radioélectriques applicables aux appareils numériques de Classe B prescrites dans la norme sur le matériel brouilleur: "Appareils Numériques," NMB-003 édictée par le ministère des Communications. This device has been designed to operate with an antenna having a maximum gain of 1.43 dBi. Antenna having a higher gain is strictly prohibited per regulations of Industry Canada. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.

Click the OK button again to save these new changes. 6. Reboot your PC. 15 Configuring Client TCP/IP Configuring a Macintosh Computer You may find that the instructions here do not exactly match your screen. This is because these steps and screen shots were created using Mac OS 10.2. Mac OS 7.x and above are all very similar, but may not be identical to Mac OS 10.2. 1. Pull down the Apple Menu. Click System Preferences and select Network. 2. Make sure that Built-in Ethernet is selected in the Show field. 3. On the TCP/IP tab, select Using DHCP in the Configure field. 4. Close the TCP/IP dialog box. 16 Configuring Client TCP/IP Manual IP Configuration (for all Windows OS) 1. Check Specify an IP address on the IP Address tab. Enter an IP address based on the default network 192.168.2.x (where x is between 2 and 254), and use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet mask. 2. In the Gateway tab, add the IP address of the Wireless Barricade (default: 192.168.2.1) in the New gateway field and click Add. 17 Configuring Client TCP/IP 3. On the DNS Configuration tab, add the IP address for the Wireless Barricade and click Add. This automatically relays DNS requests to the DNS server(s) provided by your ISP. Otherwise, add specific DNS servers into the DNS Server Search Order field and click Add. 4. After finishing TCP/IP setup, click OK, and then reboot the computer. After that, set up other PCs on the LAN according to the procedures described above. 18 Configuring Client TCP/IP Verifying Your TCP/IP Connection After installing the TCP/IP communication protocols and configuring an IP address in the same network as the Wireless Barricade, use the ping command to check if your computer has successfully connected to the Wireless Barricade. The following example shows how the ping procedure can be executed in an MS-DOS window. First, execute the ping command: ping 192.168.2.1 If a message similar to the following appears: Pinging 192.168.2.1 with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 192.168.2.1: bytes=32 time=2ms TTL=64 a communication link between your computer and the Wireless Barricade has been successfully established. If you get the following message, Pinging 192.168.2.1 with 32 bytes of data: Request timed out. there may be something wrong in your installation procedure. Check the following items in sequence: 1. Is the Ethernet cable correctly connected between the Wireless Barricade and the computer? The LAN LED on the Wireless Barricade and the Link LED of the network card on your computer must be on. 2. Is TCP/IP properly configured on your computer? If the IP address of the Wireless Barricade is 192.168.2.1, the IP address of your PC must be from 192.168.2.2-254 and the default gateway must be 192.168.2.1.
