ETHERNET on the rear panel of the Gateway to the Ethernet port on your computer. Repeat this step to
connect up to three additional PCs to your Westell Gateway.
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 Gateway 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 Gateway. 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 Gateway 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 Gateway. No software installation is required when
using only an Ethernet connection. You must now proceed to section 7, “Configuring the Gateway for Internet

6.4.2 Connecting PCs via Wireless
IMPORTANT: If you are connecting to the Gateway via a wireless network adapter, the SSID must be the same for
both the Gateway and your PC’s wireless network adapter. The default SSID for the Gateway is the serial number of
the unit (located below the bar code on the bottom of the unit and also on the Westell shipping carton). Locate and
run the utility software provided with your PC’s Wireless network adapter and enter the SSID value. The PC’s
wireless network adapter must be configured with the SSID (in order to communicate with the Gateway) before you
begin the account setup and configuration procedures. Later, for privacy you can change the SSID by following the
procedures outlined in section 15.8 (Wireless Configuration).
IMPORTANT: Client PCs can use any Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) 802.11b/g/g+ certified card to communicate with
the Gateway. The Wireless card and Gateway must use the same security code type. If you use WPA-PSK or WEP
wireless security, you must configure your computer’s wireless adapter for the security code that you use. You
can access the settings in the advanced properties of your wireless network adapter.
To network the Gateway to additional computers in your home or office using a wireless installation, you will need
to confirm the following:
1. Ensure that an 802.11b/g wireless network adapter has been installed in each PC on your wireless network.
2. Install the appropriate drivers for your Wireless IEEE802.11b or IEEE802.11g adapter.
3. Make sure the SMA antenna connector is loose. Orient the antenna in the proper configuration. Then, tighten the
antenna knob to lock it into place.
4. Connect the DSL phone cable from the connector marked DSL on the rear panel of the Gateway 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 Gateway kit.
5. Connect the power supply cord to the power connector marked 12 VDC on the rear panel of the Gateway. 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).
6. Check to see if the DSL LED is solid green. If the DSL LED is solid green, the Gateway is functioning properly.
7. Check to see if the Gateway’s Wireless LED is solid green. This means that the Wireless interface is functioning
properly.

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 Gateway’s configuration. (Refer to the preceding Edit Connection screen to change your
connection setting.) The factory default connection setting is “Always On.”
When the Connection screen displays Up in the PPP Status field, this indicates that you have established a PPP
session with your ISP. As shown in the following screen, MainPPP is the factory default connection name used to
establish a PPP session with your ISP. After you have established your PPP session, you may use other connection
profiles that you have created via the Edit button. The name of the profile will be displayed in the Connection Name
field. If needed, refer to section 7.2 for details on setting up a connection profile.

Each computer playing QuakeIII must use a different port number,
starting at 27660 and incrementing by 1. You'll also need to do the
following:
1. Right click on the QIII icon
2. Choose "Properties"
3. In the Target field you'll see a line like "C:\Program Files\Quake
III Arena\quake3.exe"
4. Add the Quake III net_port command to specify a unique
communication port for each system. The complete field should look
like this: "C:\Program Files\Quake III Arena\quake3.exe" +set
net_port 27660
5. Click OK.
6. Repeat for each system behind the NAT, adding one to the
net_port selected (27660,27661,27662)
