UltraLine Home DSL Router (Models 7400, 7401)

1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Westell® UltraLine Home DSL Router provides 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 Router and you are on the Internet.

This Router is capable of data rates hundreds of times faster than a traditional analog modem. But unlike analog modems, Westell’s 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.

NOTE: Hereafter, the Westell UltraLine Home DSL Router will be referred to as the “Modem” or “Router.”

2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Never install any telephone wiring during a lightning storm.

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

Never touch non-insulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.

Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

WARNING

Risk of electric shock. Voltages up to 140 Vdc (with reference to ground) may be present on telecommunications circuits.

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 (Models 7400, 7401) 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.

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 (Models 7400, 7401), 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 20 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.

If the Operating System CD is not available, or if Figure 11 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 S dialogs, doing so will result in an improper installation and the Router will not function correctly.
