3. REGULATORY INFORMATION

3.1 FCC Compliance Note

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Rules. 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.

PART 68 - COMPLIANCE REGISTRATION

This equipment (Model 2200) 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 no 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.

A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant. See installation instruction for details.

If this terminal equipment (Model 2200) causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may request you to disconnect the equipment until the problem is resolved. The telephone company will notify you in advance if temporary discontinuance of service is required. If advance notification is not practical, the telephone company will notify you as soon as possible. You will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe such action is necessary.

If you experience trouble with this equipment (Model 2200), do not try to repair the equipment yourself. The equipment cannot be repaired in the field. Contact Westell for instructions on product return.

030-300372 Rev. A 2 July 2003

User Guide

The telephone company may make changes to their facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the operation of this equipment. If this happens, the telephone company will provide advance notice in order for you to make the modifications necessary to maintain uninterrupted service.

If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, ensure that the installation of this equipment (Model 2200) does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualified installer.

This equipment cannot be used on public coin phone service provided by the telephone company. Connection of this equipment to party line service is subject to state tariffs.

Westell Dual Connect NAT Router with DMH Technology

3.2 Canada Certification Notice

The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operations and safety requirements as prescribed in the appropriate Terminal Equipment Technical Requirements document(s). The department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction.

This equipment meets the applicable Industry Canada Terminal Equipment Technical Specification. This is confirmed by the registration number. The abbreviation, IC, before the registration number signifies that registration was performed based on a Declaration of Conformity indicating that Industry Canada technical specification were met. It does not imply that Industry Canada approved the equipment. The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is 0.0. The Ringer Equivalence Number that is assigned to each piece of terminal equipment provides an indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The termination on an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed five.

Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local Telecommunication Company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. The customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations. Connection to a party line service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the state public utility commission, public service commission, or corporation commission for information.

If you experience trouble with this equipment (Model 2200), do not try to repair the equipment yourself. The equipment cannot be repaired in the field and must be returned to the manufacturer. Repairs to certified equipment should be coordinated by a representative, and designated by the supplier. Refer to section 12 in this User Guide for further details.

The termination on an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed five.

Users should ensure, for their own protection, that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines, and internal, metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.

CAUTION

Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate

6. INSTALLING THE USB DRIVERS

This section explains how to install the USB modem drivers for the Dual Connect NAT Router. If you are using only Ethernet ports, USB driver installation is not necessary. The Microsoft® Plug and Play auto-detect feature recognizes when new hardware has been installed. After you connect the Router to the PC, the Router will automatically be detected.

6.1 CD-ROM Installation:

1. Place the CD-ROM that you received in the Router kit into the CD-ROM drive of the PC that is connected to the USB port.

2. Go to the USB driver installation section that matches your operating system and follow the procedures outlined in that section.

3. Verify the connection to the computer by observing the state of the USB LED. Once the USB drivers have been installed, the USB LED should be solid green. Solid green indicates a USB connection has been established. Refer to Table 1 (LED States and Descriptions).

Before you begin the USB driver software installation, determine which operating system is installed on your PC. Then, follow the instructions that match your operating system (e.g., Microsoft Windows 98-refer to the instructions in section 6.2). Next, begin the USB driver software installation. When the installation has completed, proceed to section 7. Table 6 provides a quick reference to the USB software driver instructions.
