PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Westell’s VersaLink™ Gateway adds reliable, high-speed, Internet access to your existing home or office phone line. Your DSL connection ends the hassles of dial-up modems and busy signals. Installation is easy ... no tools ... no headaches. Simply plug the VersaLink™ Gateway into the 10/100 Base-T port of your PC, apply power, perform the simple software configuration, and connect your DSL phone line to the VersaLink™ Gateway. This modem is capable of data rates hundreds of times faster than a traditional analog modem. But unlike analog modems, Westell’s VersaLink™ 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 means that no user configuration is required. NOTE: Hereafter, the Westell VersaLink™ Gateway will be referred to as the “VersaLink” or the “Modem.” 2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ¾ Never install any telephone wiring during a lightning storm. ¾ Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations. ¾ Never touch non-insulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface. ¾Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

Wireless Card Information Network Name (SSID) 802.11 MAC Address (BSSID) FW Version This string, (32 characters or less) is the name associated with the Access Point (AP). To connect to the AP, the Service Set ID (SSID) on a Station card must match the SSID on the AP. This is the Media Access Controller address of the AP. It is used as the Basic Service Set Identifier (BSSID). This is the Network Interface Card Identifier. It uniquely identifies the hardware platform of the AP. This is used with other information to determine if the inserted card can be used as an AP, and if so, the version of AP firmware to be used. Not all makes of wireless station cards can be used as an AP. Communication Statistics NOTE: Data preceded by OUT pertain to transmissions from the VersaLink to a station; VersaLink is the source. Data preceded by IN pertain to data received by VersaLink; VersaLink is the destination.

The number of successful transmissions made. This will typically be greater than the sum of the Unicast and Multicast frames because large frames are broken into multiple transmissions. The number of fragments per frame is based on the Fragmentation Threshold setting (not user-configurable). The number of frames that did not transmit due to the short or long retry limit being reached because no acknowledgement or CTS was received. The number of frames that successfully transmitted after more than one retry. Any fragment of a frame that required multiple retries would increment this counter for the whole frame. The number of successfully received frames whose destination address was a single location, not necessarily the same location, but to any single location as opposed to the broadcast address. The number of successfully received frames whose destination address was a multicast address. Broadcast messages are included in this count. The number of fragments successfully received. This may not be equal to the sum of the Unicast and Multicast frames because large frames are broken into multiple transmissions. The number of fragments per frame is based on the Fragmentation Threshold setting (not user-configurable) on the source station. The number of frames that were not received by VersaLink due to the short or long retry limit being reached because no acknowledgement or CTS was received.
