1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Your Westell® TriLink™ Gateway combines the functionality of a Voice over (VoIP) Analog Terminal Adapter
with that of a Westell® ADSL Gateway. The TriLink™ Gateway enables you to connect an analog phone to the
Gateway to make or receive phone calls over the Internet, and supports a variety of networking interfaces such as
wireless 802.11b/g, ADSL/2/2+, and Ethernet. The Gateway functions as a Router and enables you to connect
multiple PCs on your LAN to the Internet. The Gateway’s VersaPort™2 interface enables you to uplink your
Gateway to other ADSL network devices, and the 802.11 wireless interface enables you to establish a secure
wireless connection with mobile computing devices.
With the Westell® TriLink™ Gateway, you can 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. Your ADSL connection is “always-on,” ending the hassles of dial-up modems and busy signals, and
installation is easy ... no tools ... no headaches. Simply connect the hardware, apply power, and perform the simple
software configuration for your Gateway and you are on the Internet.
Hereafter, the Westell® TriLink™ Gateway will be referred to as the “Gateway” or the “Router.”

6.3 Microfilters
ADSL signals must be blocked from reaching each telephone, answering machine, fax machine, computer modem or
any similar conventional device. Failure to do so may degrade telephone voice quality and ADSL performance.
Install a microfilter if you desire to use the DSL-equipped line jack for telephone, answering machine, fax machine
or other telephone device connections. Microfilter installation requires no tools or telephone rewiring. Just unplug the
telephone device from the baseboard or wall mount and snap in a microfilter. Next, snap in the telephone device.
You can purchase microfilters from your local electronics retailer or contact the original provider of your DSL
equipment. Microfilters are not required on the telephone devices attached to the voice over IP (VoIP) ports.

6.4 Hardware Installations
NOTE: If you are using the Router in conjunction with an Ethernet Hub or Switch, refer to the manufacturer’s
instructions for proper installation and configuration. 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

8.3 Establishing a PPP Session
After you have set up your connection profile and clicked Save, view the PPP Status field at the Connection
Overview screen. If the PPP Status displays DOWN, click the Connect button to establish a PPP session.
NOTE: Whenever the PPP Status displays DOWN, you do not have a PPP session established. If your Router’s

automatically and the PPP Status will display UP. If the connection setting is set to “Manual,” you must click on the
Connect button to establish a PPP session. Once the PPP session has been established (PPP Status displays UP), you
may proceed with your Router’s configuration. Refer to the preceding Edit Connection screen to change your
Service Profile setting.) The factory default Service Profile setting is “Always on.”
The following screen displays Up in the PPP Status field. This indicates that Connection1 is the active account
profile and that you have established a PPP session with your Internet service provider (ISP). If you have set up
multiple account profiles (for example, Connection2, Connection3, etc.) they will also be displayed in the
Connection Name field, and then you must select the option button adjacent to the connection name you want to
use. Refer to section 8.2 for details on setting up a connection profile.

Test Description / Test Results
Performs an integrity check of certain internal components of the Router.
Performs an IP network check (i.e., an IP Ping) of the service provider’s Router.
This test verifies that the Router can exchange IP traffic with an entity on the
other side of the DSL line.
Possible responses are:
Success: The Router has detected an IP Remote Router connection.
No Response: The IP Remote Router does not answer the IP Ping.
Could not test: The test could not be executed due to the Router’s settings.
Check your DSL sync or your PPP session. You must have both a DSL sync
and a PPP connection established to execute a PING.

entered in the input box.
Possible responses are:
Success: The Router has successfully obtained the resolved address. The IP
address is shown below the host name input box.
No Response: The Router has failed to obtain the resolved address.
Host not found: The DNS Server was unable to find an address for the given
host name.
No data, enter host name: No host name is specified.
Could not test: The test could not be executed due to the Router’s settings.
Check your DSL sync or your PPP session. You must have both a DSL sync
and a PPP connection established to execute a PING.
IP Address of the Host Name.
Performs an IP connectivity check to a remote computer either within or beyond
the Service Provider’s network. You can PING a remote computer via the IP
address or the DNS address. If your PING fails, try a different IP or DNS
address.
Possible responses are:
Success: The Remote Host computer was detected.
No Response: There was no response to the Ping from the remote computer.
No name or address to PING: No host name or IP address was specified.
Could not test: The test could not be executed due to the Router settings. Check
your DSL sync or your PPP session. You must have both a DSL sync and a PPP
connection established to execute a PING.
Determines the route taken to destination by sending Internet Control Message
Protocol (ICMP) echo packets with varying IP Time-To-Live (TTL) values to
the destination. Trace Route is used to determine where the packet is stopped on
the network.
The number of hops from the Router to the specified destination.
Allows you to run a full diagnostic test.
