1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Westell® Media Gateway Communications Subsystem provides reliable, high-speed, Internet access to your
existing phone line. Installation is easy ... no tools ... no headaches. Simply connect the hardware, apply power, and
perform the simple software configuration for the Media Gateway and you are on the Internet.
The Media Gateway is capable of data rates hundreds of times faster than a traditional analog modem. But unlike
analog modems, the Media 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 Media Gateway supports a variety of networking interfaces such as wireless 802.11b/g and Ethernet.
Note: Hereafter, the Westell Media Gateway™ Communications Subsystem will be referred to as “Media Gateway,”
“Gateway,” or “Modem.”
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.
3. CARING FOR YOUR MEDIA GATEWAY
Please follow these guidelines to ensure the best use of your Media Gateway.
xWhen using Stylus pen (Media Gateway in iobi mode), please be sure to gently tap the components in the LCD
screen to navigate to various Iobi features.
xDO NOT use a pen, pencil or other pointed object on the LCD screen as these items may cause damage to the
screen. Always use the point of the Stylus for tapping on the LCD screen and making selections.
xWarning: DO NOT use an abrasive cleaner on the LCD screen as this will damage the screen. If the LCD
becomes soiled, use a damp, clean cloth moistened with a window-cleaning solution to gently wipe the
screen.

4. REGULATORY INFORMATION
4.1 FCC Compliance Note
(FCC ID: CH8A90WMT-00)
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:
xReorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
xIncrease the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
xConnect the equipment to a different circuit from that to which the receiver is connected.
xConsult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Modifications made to the product could void the users’ right to operate the equipment.
PART 68 - COMPLIANCE REGISTRATION
This equipment (Model WMT) 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 not 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.

A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply with the
applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug
is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant. See
installation instruction for details.
If this terminal equipment (Model WMT) causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may
request you to disconnect the equipment until the problem is resolved. The telephone company will notify you in
advance if temporary discontinuance of service is required. If advance notification is not practical, the telephone
company will notify you as soon as possible. You will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if
you believe such action is necessary.
The telephone company may make changes to their facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect
the operation of this equipment. If this happens, the telephone company will provide advance notice in order for you
to make the modifications necessary to maintain uninterrupted service.
If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, ensure that the installation of this
equipment (Model WMT) does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable
alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualified installer.
This equipment cannot be used on public coin phone service provided by the telephone company. Connection of this
equipment to party line service is subject to state tariffs.

7.3 Hardware Installations
NOTE: If you are using Your Media Gateway in conjunction with an Ethernet Hub or Switch, refer to the
manufacturer’s instructions for proper installation and configuration. Westell recommends the use of a surge
suppressor to protect equipment attached to the AC power supply.
7.3.1 Installation via 10/100 Base-T Ethernet
NOTE: Before you connect via 10/100 Base-T, you must have an available Ethernet card installed in your
computer. If your Ethernet card does not auto-negotiate, you must set it to half duplex. Refer to the
Ethernet card manufacturer’s instructions for installing and configuring your Ethernet card.
1. Connect the yellow Ethernet cable from the Ethernet (E2, E3, or E4) jacks marked on the rear panel of the
base unit to the Ethernet port on your computer. Repeat this step to connect up to two additional PCs to the
Media Gateway.
NOTE: You may connect to any of the three Ethernet (E2, E3, or E4) jacks on the rear panel of the Media
Gateway base unit as they serve as an Ethernet switch.
2. Connect the DC 12V power supply cord to the power connector marked 12V AC~on the rear panel of the base
unit. Plug the other end of the power supply into an AC wall socket, and then turn on the power switch (if it is
not already turned on).
3. Check to see if the Power LED is solid green. If the Power LED is solid green, the base unit is powered up.
4. Check to see if the Ethernet LED on the base unit is solid green. Solid green indicates that the Ethernet interface
is functioning properly.
5. After you have completed section 8 of this document and established an Internet connection, the Internet LED
will be solid green. If this LED is not solid green, please refer to your ISP’s instructions for establishing an
Internet connection or to section 6.1 (LED Indicators) of this document for information on the LEDs.
Congratulations! You have completed the Ethernet hardware installation. Proceed to section 8 to configure your
Media Gateway for an Internet connection.
