Westell Router (Models 7400, 7401, 328W10, 328W11)

1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Your Westell® Router provides reliable, high-speed, Internet access to your existing small 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 Router and you are on the Internet.

The Westell® Router is capable of data rates hundreds of times faster than a traditional analog modem. But unlike analog modems, your Westell® Router 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. The Router supports a variety of networking interfaces such as wireless 802.11b/g/g+, ADSL, Ethernet and the following optional features:

NOTE: The actual features and functions of your product may vary depending on the model you are using.

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 or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.

• Connect the equipment to a different circuit from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Modifications made to the product, unless expressly approved by Westell Inc., could void the users’ right to operate the equipment.

RF EXPOSURE

This device has been tested and complies with FCC RF Exposure (SAR) limits in typical laptop computer configurations and this device can be used in desktop or laptop computers with side-mounted PCMCIA slots, which can provide 1 cm separation distance from the antenna to the body of the user or a nearby person. Thin laptop computers may need special attention to maintain antenna spacing while operating. This device cannot be used with handheld PDAs (personal digital assistants). Use in other configurations may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. This device and its antenna must not be co-located or operate in conjunction with another antenna or transmitter.

PART 68 – COMPLIANCE REGISTRATION

This equipment (Models 7400, 7401, 328W10, 328W11) complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA. A label on the bottom of this equipment contains, among other information, the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) and the product identifier. For products approved after July 23, 2001 the product identifier is in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g. 03 is a REN of 0.3). The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line. For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label. If requested, this number must be provided to the telephone company.

Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone company.

This equipment is designated to connect to the telephone network or premises wiring using a compatible modular jack that is Part 68 compliant. An FCC compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with the equipment. See the Installation Information section of this User Guide for details.

6.4 Hardware Installations

NOTE: If you are using the Router in conjunction with an Ethernet Hub or Switch, refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for proper installation and configuration. When using a Microfilter, be certain that the DSL phone cable is connected to the “DSL/HPN” non-filtered jack. Please wait until you have received notification from your ISP that your DSL line has been activated before installing the Router. Westell recommends the use of a surge

suppressor to protect equipment attached to the power supply.

6.4.1 Installation via 10/100 Base-T Ethernet

IMPORTANT: Before you connect via 10/100 Base-T, you must have an available Ethernet card installed in your computer. If your Ethernet card does not auto-negotiate, you must set it to half duplex. Refer to the

Ethernet card manufacturer’s instructions for installing and configuring your Ethernet card.

Warning: Your power requirements may differ from those displayed in the following instructions. You must use only the power adapter provided with your kit.

1. Connect the power supply cord to the power connector marked 15 VAC on the rear panel of the Router. Plug

the other end of the power supply into a wall socket.

2. Connect the DSL phone cable from the connector marked

equipped telephone line jack on the wall. IMPORTANT: Do not use the phone cord that was provided with the kit.

3. Connect the yellow Ethernet cable from any one of the Ethernet jacks marked

Router to the Ethernet port on your computer. Repeat this step to connect up to three additional PCs to your Westell Router.

NOTE: You may connect to any of the four Ethernet jacks on the rear panel as they serve as an Ethernet switch. However, when using the optional UPLINK/E1 port, Ethernet LAN connection is limited to ports E2, E3, and E4.

4. Check to see if the DSL LED is solid green. If the DSL LED is solid green, the Router is functioning properly.

5. Check to see if the Ethernet LED is solid green. Solid green indicates that the Ethernet connection is

functioning properly.

Congratulations! You have completed the Ethernet hardware installation. No software installation is required when using only an Ethernet connection. You must now proceed to section 8 to configure your Router for Internet connection.
