Trace Route

The Trace feature allows you to perform an IP trace route to a remote computer either within or beyond the service providers network. Enter either the IP address or the hostname of the remote host computer into the input box to the right of the Trace button. If you trace by name, DNS will be used to look up the appropriate IP address for that name. Trace Trace will display its progress in the text box. Trace will show three round trip times and the DNS name (if available) of each intermediate VersaLink. Trace will display * when it does not receive a response or cannot determine the DNS name of an intermediate Gateway. This is not necessarily an error, as some Gateways are configured to ignore trace route packets or do not have DNS name.

Turbo TCP
Turbo Turbo TCP is a sophisticated network traffic prioritization and queuing method that dramatically improves the performance of downstream TCP/FTP/HTTP transfers under heavy upstream bandwidth utilization conditions. This feature first assigns a high priority to TCP signaling packets in the upstream direction, then places the packet in one of several transmit queues based on this priority. Packets of unspecified priority, like TCP or UDP data, are assigned a low priority and placed in a low priority queue. The packets in the high priority queues are then transmitted before packets in the lower priority queues minimizing any transmit delays. Minimizing the transmit delay of the TCP messages upstream enables the server to send the TCP data downstream faster, resulting in a substantial throughput gain.

INSTALLING THE MICROFILTERS
If your DSL service shares the same line as your fax machine or telephone, you need to install a filter. Please follow the installation procedure in this section, and be sure to install one filter on every phone line that has a telephone, answering machine, or fax machine.
Connect a DSL filter to standard telephone equipment: 1. Plug the short cord that is attached to the DSL filter into the phone jack on the wall plate. Plug the standard telephone cable from the telephone device into the jack of the DSL filter where it is labeled PHONE.
Note: Repeat these steps for each telephone. However, DO NOT place a microfilter on the DSL cord that is used to connect the Router to the wall jack.
Connect a microfilter to telephone equipment and DSL equipment that share the same wall jack: 1. Plug the short cord that is attached to the DSL filter into the phone jack on the wall plate. Plug the standard telephone cable from the telephone device into the jack of the DSL filter where it is labeled PHONE.
Plug one end of the DSL phone cable (that you received in the microfilter kit) into the DSL filter where it is labeled HPN.
Plug the other end of the DSL phone cable into the DSL Line jack located on the rear panel of the Router.

INSTALLING VERSALINK

This section explains the procedures for installing VersaLink. You may choose to install VersaLink in one of three ways: Ethernet only, Wireless only, or both Ethernet and Wireless simultaneously. To install VersaLink via 10/100 Base-T Ethernet only, refer to section 2A. To install VersaLink via Wireless only, refer to section 2B. If you want to install VersaLink via Ethernet and Wireless ports simultaneously, refer to section 2C.
NOTE: If you are using VersaLink in conjunction with an Ethernet Hub or Switch, refer to the manufacturers 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. Westell recommends the use of a surge suppressor to protect equipment attached to the AC power supply. When using the optional uplink port (E1), Ethernet LAN connection is limited to E2, E3, and E4. The UPLINK feature is optional, and if UPLINK is not enabled in the.ini file, the Router will use DSL and Wireless only.

2A. Installation via 10/100 Base-T/Ethernet Connections
NOTE: 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 manufacturers instructions for installing and configuring your Ethernet card.
Connect the power supply cord to the power connector marked DC 9V on the rear panel of VersaLink. Plug the other end of the power supply into a wall socket. Connect the DSL phone cable from the jack marked on the rear panel of VersaLink to the DSL-equipped telephone line jack on the wall. IMPORTANT: Do not use a DSL filter on this connection.

2B. Installation via Wireless IMPORTANT: If you are connecting to VersaLink via a wireless network adapter, the service set ID (SSID) must be the same for both VersaLink and your PCs wireless network adapter. The default SSID for VersaLink 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 PCs Wireless network adapter and enter the SSID value. The PCs wireless network adapter must be configured with the SSID (in order to communicate with VersaLink) before you begin the account setup and configuration procedures. Later, for privacy you can change the SSID by following the procedures outlined in the Wireless Configuration section of the User Guide provided with your kit. NOTE: Client PCs can use any Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) 802.11b/g/g+ certified card to communicate with VersaLink. The Wireless card and VersaLink must use the same Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) security code type. The factory default for WEP is DISABLED. If you enable WEP, you must ensure the network setting for your wireless adapter is set to Must Use Shared Key for WEP or Open Wi-Fi. You must ensure that your PCs Wi-Fi adapter is configured properly for whichever network setting you use. You can access the settings in the advanced properties of the wireless network adapter.
