WireSpeed Pro is the perfect solution for a low cost multi-user residential or small business network.
Westell’s WireSpeed Pro provides multiple users with reliable, high-speed, Internet access for home or
office. With Westell’s WireSpeed Pro, you won’t need additional phone or data lines. The WireSpeed
Pro converts an existing phone line into a dedicated, high-speed connection ending the inconvenience of
dial-up modems and busy signals. Unlike traditional analog modems, multiple users can share the same
phone line for simultaneous voice/fax communications and high-speed Internet access. WireSpeed Pro’s
downstream data rates of 8 Mbps and upstream rates of 800 kbps, may be up to 140 times faster than a
56K analog modem.
With WireSpeed Pro, you’ll never be out of date. WireSpeed Pro is factory-configured with Westell's popular WebShare
networking software. Our latest generation of WebShare software implements new features like an integrated firewall and
VPN support. With easy downloads from Westell’s WebStore, you’ll be able to upgrade your WebShare software to take
advantage of the latest innovations and features from Westell.
The WireSpeed Pro uses the widely popular Point to Point Protocols (PPPoA and PPPoE) to connect to your Internet
service provider (ISP). LAN network setup is a breeze with Network Address Translation (NAT) and Dynamic Host
Control Protocol (DHCP). With NAT, the Internet sees your Westell WireSpeed Pro as a single IP address. This hides the
IP addresses of the PCs on the LAN from the Internet and provides a simple form of network security. With DHCP,
WireSpeed Pro automatically assigns an IP address to each PC on the network, removing the chore of local IP address
management.

ADSL Signal Filtering
ADSL signals must be blocked from reaching each telephone, answering machine, fax machine, conventional computer
mode or any similar conventional devices. Failure to do so 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 jack being used for a phone, answering machine,
fax machine or other telephone device. Microfilter installation is simple 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 device. Contact Westell to obtain a microfilter kit (Westell 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.
Package Inspection and Contents
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 Westell Customer Support. The transportation carrier assumes
responsibility for safe delivery of goods.
The WireSpeed Pro Proxy Router is shipped with a power supply and straight-through Ethernet cable.
You may have to supply the following cables:
• 10Base-T crossover cable with RJ-45 connectors for Ethernet hub to WireSpeed Pro Proxy Router connection
• RJ-11 modular cable for phone line to WireSpeed Pro Proxy Router connection
AFETY
S
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. This equipment is to be installed and used with approved telco terminal sockets that provide primary lightning
protection.
WARNING
Risk of electric shock. Voltages up to 140 Vdc (with reference to ground) may be present
on telecommunications circuits.

WIRESPEED PRO™ INSTALLATION
The WireSpeed Pro Proxy Router operates up to 300 feet (91.4 meters) from a PC or Ethernet hub over 100-Ohm, Category
5 cable.
For installation on a wall surface, follow the instructions below. If you are not installing the unit on a wall surface, proceed
to the section on Single or Multiple-User Setup.
Installing on Hollow Drywall Surfaces (Optional)
To mount the WireSpeed Pro 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 WireSpeed Pro against the wall where it is to be mounted, note and mark the upper keyhole slot and screw
location.
3. Drill a 3/16” hole for the upper anchor and insert the anchor and larger (#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.
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 RJ-11 telephone cable from the LINE connector to the ADSL-equipped phone line.
3. Connect the straight 10Base-T cable (included with this package) to the ETHERNET connector on the side 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 “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 successfully completed and the unit is
synchronized with the ADSL line card. It may take up to 70 seconds for the unit to synchronize with the central office
ADSL unit.

WEBSHARE INSTALLATION UTILITIES SOFTWARE SETUP
Running WebShare Installation Utilities
Account parameters must be added to WebShare before connecting to your ISP or Corporate LAN. Use the Westellprovided WebShare Installation Utilities to simplify the setup 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
• Automatic assignment of the WebShare gateway address of 192.168.0.1
• Simplified service provider account information installation via the Account Install screen.
We recommend using the WebShare Installation Utilities to automatically configure DHCP on each Windows PC in a
multiple-PC environment. Alternatively, DHCP may be enabled manually on Windows computers. Macintosh and Linux
users must use manual configuration to enable DHCP on their systems.
