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.

IP Address Displays the IP network address that your modem is on. Gateway Displays the router IP Gateway address DNS Primary Provided by your Service Provider DNS Secondary Provided by your Service Provider MRU Negotiation Factory Default = DISABLED

If ENABLED, the Maximum Received Unit (MRU) would enforce MRU negotiations. (NOTE: enable this option only at your Internet Service Provider’s request.)

LCP Echo Disable Factory Default = Enable

If checked, this option will disable the modem LCP Echo transmissions.

LCP Echo Failures Indicates number of continuous LCP echo non-responses received before the PPP

session is terminated. LCP Echo Retry Duration Indicates the interval between LCP Echo transmissions with responses. LCP Echo Retry Duration Indicates the interval between LCP. Echo after no response. Tunneling Factory Default = ENABLE

If ENABLED, this option allows PPP traffic to be bridged to the WAN. This feature

allows you to use a PPPoE shim on the host computer to connect to the Internet

Service Provider, by bypassing the Router’s capability to do this.

NOTE: The values for IP Address, Gateway, DNS Primary, and DNS Secondary are all “Override of the value obtained from the PPP connection,” They default to “0.0.0.0,” in which case the override is ignored. Westell recommends that you do not change the values unless your Internet Service Provider instructs you to change them.

VC 1 Bridge Settings

Bridge = A bridge is a layer 2 device that connects two segments of the same LAN that use the same protocol such as Ethernet. The modem does not have a WAN IP address in this mode. The client PC will typically get an IP address from a DHCP server in the network or the IP address can be assigned statically. Routed Bridge = Routed Bridged Encapsulation (RBE) is the process by which a bridged segment is terminated on a routed interface. Specifically, the router is routing on an IEEE 802.3 or Ethernet header carried over RFC 1483 bridged ATM. RBE was developed to address the known

Mode

RFC1483 bridging issues, including broadcast storms and security. The modem will get a WAN IP address through DHCP or can be assigned statically. NAT will use the global address assigned to the modem. Proxy Bridge = Proxy Bridge is the process in which the modem acts as a proxy ARP agent for a local public subnet. The modem will be assigned an IP address from within that public subnet. The modem will direct all traffic to a gateway, which is configured statically. The gateway address must not reside within the modems assigned public subnet. All traffic will be sent via the gateway MAC address. The LAN may also have a private NAT'ed network. NAT will use the global address assigned to the modem.

Next, select a mode (Bridge, Routed Bridge, or Proxy Bridge) from the Mode drop-down menu, below VC 1–Bridge Settings, and then click the set VC button to save the settings.
