1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Westell’s ADSL Gateway 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 Gateway.
This Gateway is capable of data rates up to 100 times faster than traditional dial-up modems. However, unlike dial-
up modems, Westell’s ADSL Gateway 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 enables ease of configuration.
NOTE: Hereafter the Westell ADSL Gateway will be referred to as the “Gateway” 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 telephone lines.

8. Windows 98: Figure 13 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 13 pops up again, you will have to manually specify the
location of the files. The required files may be stored on you 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.
