1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION (MODELS 6000, 6100, 6110)
The Westell® Modem 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 Modem and you are on the Internet.
This Modem is capable of data rates hundreds of times faster than a traditional analog modem. But unlike analog
modems, Westell’s Modem 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.
2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (MODELS 6000, 6100, 6110)
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.

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 (Models 6000, 6100, 6110) 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

8. Windows 98: Figure 12 may pop up, depending on how Windows 98 was installed on the computer. The
installation of the Westell modem requires files that are supplied by Microsoft for Windows 98. If Figure 13
pops up, insert the Windows 98 Operating System CD into the computers CD-ROM drive, wait a moment for
the CD to be recognized by the system, and then click on OK. The system should find the required files on the
Windows 98 CD and automatically complete the installation.

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.
