4-Port ADSL Router User Manual

Quick Start

You have now finished customizing the basic settings. Read

the following

section in order to determine whether you need

to change additional settings.

Default Router Settings

In addition to handling the DSL connection to your ISP, the ADSL

Barricade can provide a variety of services to your network. The

device is preconfigured with default settings for use with a typical

home or small office network.

Table 4 lists some of the most important default settings; these and

other features are fully described in the subsequent sections. If you

are familiar with network configuration, review the settings in Table 4

and check whether they meet the needs of your network. Follow

the

instructions and change them if necessary. If you are unfamiliar

with these settings, try to use the device without modification,

or contact your ISP for assistance.

Before modifying any settings, review the Getting Started section

with the Configuration Manager. We strongly recommend that

you contact your ISP prior to changing the default configuration.
