When using a Microfilter, be certain that the DSL phone cable is connected to the “DSL/HPN” non-filtered jack. Please wait until you have received notification from your ISP that your DSL line has been activated before installing the Router. Westell recommends the use of a surge suppressor to protect equipment attached to the power supply. An additional Ethernet cable may be required depending on the installation method you are using. Ethernet cables can be purchased at your local computer hardware retailer. 6.4.1 Installation via DSL IMPORTANT: 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 DSL phone cable from the connector marked DSL on the rear panel of the Router to the DSL-equipped telephone line jack on the wall. IMPORTANT: Do not use a DSL filter on this connection. You must use the phone cord that was provided with the kit. 2. Connect the yellow Ethernet cable (provided with your kit) from any one of the Ethernet jacks marked ETHERNET on the rear panel of the Router to the Ethernet port on your computer. Repeat this step to connect up to three additional PCs to your Westell Router. NOTE: When using the yellow VERSAPORT™2 jack in Private LAN mode, you may connect either the yellow Ethernet cable (provided with your kit) or any other Ethernet cable to the VERSAPORT™2 jack as the VERSAPORT™2 jack will function as a fifth Ethernet switch. You may also connect to any of the four black Ethernet jacks on the rear panel of the Router as they serve as an Ethernet switch. 3. Connect the power supply cord to the power connector marked 12 VDC on the rear panel of the Router. Plug the other end of the power supply into a wall socket, and then turn on the power switch (if it is not already turned on). 4. Check to see if the DSL LED is solid green. If the DSL LED is solid green, the Router is functioning properly. 5. Check to see if the Ethernet LED is solid green. Solid green indicates that the Ethernet connection is functioning properly. 6. Check to see if the Internet LED is solid green. Solid green indicates that an Internet link has been established. Congratulations! You have completed the DSL installation for your Router. No software installation is required when using an Ethernet only connection. You must now proceed to section 8, “Configuring the Router for Internet Connection.” !
