1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Westell® Modem provides reliable, high-speed, Internet access to your existing home or office phone line. Your ADSL connection is “always-on” ending the hassles of dial-up modems and busy signals. Installation is easy ... no tools ... no headaches. Simply connect the hardware, apply power, and perform the simple software configuration for your Modem and you are on the Internet.

This Modem is capable of data rates hundreds of times faster than a traditional analog modem. But unlike analog modems, Westell’s Modem allows you to use the same phone line for simultaneous voice/fax communications and high-speed Internet access, eliminating the need for dedicated phone lines for voice and data needs.

2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Never install any telephone wiring during a lightning storm.

Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations.

•

Never touch non-insulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at

•

the network interface.

• Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

WARNING

Risk of electric shock. Voltages up to 140 Vdc (with reference to ground) may be present on telecommunications circuits.

8. Windows 98 SE: Figure 11 may pop up, depending on how Windows 98 was installed on the computer. The installation of the Westell modem requires files that are supplied by Microsoft for Windows 98. If Figure 13 pops up, insert the Windows 98 Operating System CD into the computers CD-ROM drive, wait a moment for the CD to be recognized by the system, and then click OK. The system should find the required files on the Windows 98 CD and automatically complete the installation.

If the Operating System CD is not available, or if Figure 11 pops up again, you will have to manually specify the location of the files. The required files may be stored on your hard drive. A common location for these files is "C:\Windows\Options\Cabs." Try specifying this path or the path to your CD-ROM drive (usually "D:\") by clicking the Browse… button in the Insert Disk screen. When you have specified the correct path, click OK. The system will begin copying the files. See Figure 14.

NOTE: It is very important that the Windows 98 files be installed. Do not click Cancel or S
