Westell Dual Connect NAT Router with DMH Technology

1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Westell® Dual Connect NAT Router with DMHTM technology adds 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 Dual Connect NAT Router.

This Router is capable of data rates hundreds of times faster than a traditional analog modem. But unlike analog modems, Westell’s Dual Connect NAT 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 Plug and Play feature means that no user configuration is required.

Your Westell modem is equipped with the latest in DSL modem technology. One of the innovative features included within your modem is a technology called Dynamic Multi-Hybrid or DMHTM. This technology enables your modem to achieve the fastest possible connection under various loop (telephone wires) conditions.

NOTE: Hereafter the Westell Dual Connect NAT Router will be referred to as “Dual Connect NAT Router” or “Router.”

2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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.

The system should find the required files on the Windows 98 CD and automatically complete the installation.

Figure 12. Windows 98

If the Operating System CD is not available, or if Figure 12 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 on 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 on Cancel or Skip File in the dialogs, doing so will result in an improper installation and the modem will not function correctly.
