Applications
Many advanced applications are provided by the Wireless Barricade Plus,
such as:
Flexible LAN Access
The Wireless Barricade Plus provides connectivity to 10/
100 Mbps wired devices as well as 11 Mbps wireless mobile users.
The wireless interface makes it easy to create a network in
difficult-to-wire environments, or to provide quick access to
databases for mobile workers.
Internet Access
This device supports Internet access through an xDSL, or Cable
connection. Since many DSL providers use PPPoE to establish
communications with end users, the Wireless Barricade Plus includes
a built-in client for this protocol, eliminating the need to install this
service on your computer.
Shared IP Address
The Wireless Barricade Plus provides Internet access for up to 253
users with a shared IP address. Using only one ISP account, multiple
users on your network can browse the Web at the same time.
