ADSL WEBSHARE PROXY ROUTER USER GUIDE

1. Product Description

Wes tell’s WebShare Proxy Router uses an ex isting phone line to pr ovide multiple users with a
reliable, high-speed, Internet access for home or office. The WebShare Proxy Router
converts an existing phone line into a dedicated, high-speed connection ending the
inconvenience of dial-up modems and busy signals.

The W ebShare Proxy Router provides downstream data rates of 8 Mbps and upstream rates
of 800 kbps, 140 times faster than a 56K analog m odem. Unlik e traditional analog modems ,
with Westell’s WebShare Proxy Router the same phone line can be used for voice/fax
communications and high-speed Internet access simultaneously, eliminating the need for
separate voice and data lines.

Westell’s WebShare Proxy Router enables multiple users to simultaneously share a single high-speed ADSL
Internet connection. WebShare is the perfect solution for a low cost multi-user residential or small business
network.

The WebShare Proxy Router uses the widely popular Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) data
protocol to connect to your Internet service provider (ISP). LAN network setup is a breeze through the use of
Network Address Translation (NAT) and Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP). With NAT, your Westell
WireSpeed Ethernet WebShare Proxy Router is viewed by the Internet as a single IP address. This hides the IP
addresses of the PCs on the LAN from the Internet providing a simple form of network security. W ith DHCP,
WebShare will autom atically assign an IP address to each PC on the network, thereby removing the chore of
local IP address management.

WebShare Proxy Router Benefits

•

Multiple Users can share a single Internet connection

•

No need to tie up a PC to serve as a router

•

No need to pay for multiple IP addresses

•

No need to load Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet (WebShare) on each of the networked PCs

•

Can retain IP addresses of the existing LAN

Minimum System Requirements

The following requirements outline the minimum system for WebShare:

•

Westell WireSpeed Modem

•

Pentium or equivalent and above class machines

•

Microsoft Windows 95, 98, or NT 4.0

•

Internet Explorer 4.x or Netscape Navigator 4.x installed

•

At least 16 MB RAM

•

5 MB of Free Hard Drive Space

•

Ethernet Connection between upgrading PC and ADSL Modem

•

ADSL signals must be blocked from reaching eac h telephone, answering machine, fax machine, conventional
computer mode or any similar conventional devices. Failure to do s o may degrade telephone voice quality and
ADSL performance. There are two ways to block the ADSL signal from telephone equipment:

Method 1. Microfilters – Install a microfilter at each telephone jac k being used for a phone, answering
machine, fax mac hine or other telephone device. Microfilter installation is sim ple and requires no tools
or telephone rewiring. Just unplug the telephone device from the baseboard or wall mount and snap in a
microfilter, then snap in the telephone devic e. Contact Westell to obtain a m icrofilter kit (W estell part
number A90-36FK201) which contains multiple microfilters for your installation.

Method 2: POTS Splitter – Install a POTS splitter (Westell model 32RTPSGNA1) at the telephone
service entry point. Installation of a POTS splitter may require telephone rewiring, therefore, POTS
splitter installation is typically performed by your service provider. If you choose to use a POTS splitter ,
contact your telephone company or service provider for installation.

1.1 Inspection

Upon receipt, thoroughly inspect the unit for damage. If the unit has been damaged during transit, report the
damage immediately to the Transportation Company and Wes tell Custom er Support. T he transportation car rier
assumes responsibility for safe delivery of goods. Refer to Section 10 for further information.

1.2 Package Contents

The WebShare Proxy Router is shipped with a power supply and straight through Ethernet cable.
You may have to supply the following cables:

•

10BaseT crossover cable with RJ45 connectors for Ethernet hub to WebShare Proxy Router

connection

•

RJ11 modular cable for phone line to WebShare Proxy Router connection

2. Safety

Follow these safety precautions before installing any electronic equipment:

1. Never install any telephone wiring during a lightning storm.

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

3. Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected
at the network interface.

4. Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

5. When installed, this equipment is to be used behind devices that provide primary lightning protection.

3. Installation

The WebShare Proxy Router operates up to 300 feet (91.4 M) from a PC or Ethernet hub over 100-Ohm,
Category 5 cable.

If the WebShare Proxy Router is to be installed on a wall, follow the instructions in Paragraph 3.1. When the unit
is secured to the wall, proceed to Paragraph 3.2 for instructions on connecting the unit.

3.1 Installing on Hollow, Drywall Surfaces (Optional)

To mount the WebShare Proxy Router to a wall:

1. Obtain two pan-head screws (one #8 and one #6) and two #4 - #8 wall anchors (not provided).

2. Place the WebShare Proxy Router against the wall where it is to be mounted, note and m ark the upper
keyhole slot and screw location.

3. Drill a 3/16” hole for the upper anchor and insert the anchor and lar ger (#8) screw until the face of the
screw is approximately 3/16” from the wall.

4. Test fit the unit on the screw, and adjust the screw depth for a sliding fit.

5. With a pencil, mark the opening in lower mounting tab. Remove the unit from the wall.

6. Drill a 3/16” hole for the lower anchor and insert anchor. Hang the unit on the upper screw.

7. Insert the smaller (#6) screw through the hole in the lower mounting tab.

8. Tighten the lower screw lightly with a screwdriver. Do not overtighten.

3.2 Single User Setup

Refer to the wiring diagrams shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3.

1. Connect the power supply cord to the power connector on the side of the unit and plug it into the wall power
receptacle.

2. Connect a standard RJ11 telephone cable from the LINE connector to the ADSL-equipped phone line.

3. Connec t the straight 10BaseT c able (inc luded with this package) to the ETHERNET connector on the s ide of
the unit to the interface on the computer. A crossover cable may be required when connecting to other
equipment, such as an Ethernet hub (See Section 3.3 “Multiple User Setup” below).

4. Turn the power switch ON.

5. The Ready LED should be a solid green indicating that the power self-test has succes sfully completed and

4. Installing the WebShare Utilities Setup Software on Your PC

4.1 WebShare Utilities Setup Installation Procedure

Account parameters must be added to WebShare before connecting to your ISP or Corporate LAN. Use the
Westell provided WebShare Setup Utility to simplify the set up of the following:

•

Selection of the desired Ethernet Adapter (in instances where more than one Ethernet adapter exists on

the PC).

•

Automatic enabling of DHCP (referred to “Obtain IP Address Automatically” in Windows 95, 98)

•

Automatic assignment of the WebShare gateway address of 192.168.0.1

•

Simplified service provider account information installation via the Account Install screen.

•
