The Westell VersaLink Gateway provides a reliable, high-speed, always-on Internet connection that allows a user to connect a computer to the Internet using asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) over existing phone lines. The setup utility steps the user through the process of inputting the parameters provided by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) and then automatically performs a DSL sync to provide Internet access.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • A computer connected to a Westell VersaLink Gateway (Model 327W)
  • Account ID, account password, protocol and VPI/VCI values from your ISP
  1. Step 1

    Launch your Web browser, and then type 192.168.1.1 into the address field. Hit "Enter."

  2. Step 2

    Click "Next" on the Welcome screen.

  3. Step 3

    Enter a name in the "Connection Name" field of the "User Name" screen. This is a user-defined name that you will use to identify your account. Enter the account ID and account password provided by your ISP. Click "Next."

  4. Step 4

    Enter the VPI and VCI values provided by your ISP. If your ISP did not specify VPI and VCI values, leave these at default. Click "Next."

  5. Step 5

    Select the protocol from the drop-down list specified by your ISP. If your ISP didn't specify a protocol, leave this at the default. Click "Next."

  6. Step 6

    Click "Done" on the "Set-Up Complete" screen. Click "OK" if a window pops up asking if you want to reset the modem. The modem will reset, and then the configuration screens will resume.

  7. Step 7

    Click the "Connect" button next to the account name you created in Step 3 once the DSL sync has completed successfully.
