The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets certain
telecommunications network protective, operations and safety requirements as prescribed in the appropriate
Terminal Equipment Technical Requirements document(s). The department does not guarantee the equipment will
operate to the user’s satisfaction.
This equipment meets the applicable Industry Canada Terminal Equipment Technical Specification. This is
confirmed by the registration number. The abbreviation, IC, before the registration number signifies that registration
was performed based on a Declaration of Conformity indicating that Industry Canada technical specifications were
met. It does not imply that Industry Canada approved the equipment. The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is 0.0.
The Ringer Equivalence Number that is assigned to each piece of terminal equipment provides an indication of the

Users should ensure, for their own protection, that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone
lines, and internal, metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be
particularly important in rural areas.
CAUTION
Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the
appropriate electrical inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.

Four Ethernet (RJ-45) connectors with optional E1/UPLINK port and optional E4/DATA port
NOTE:
1. When using the optional E1/ UPLINK jack (when Gateway is configured for WAN Uplink mode), Ethernet
LAN connection is limited to ports E2, E3, and E4. The Uplink feature is optional. If Uplink is not enabled
via the Web pages, your Gateway will use DSL as the WAN interface.
2. If you desire to install your Gateway using a USB cable, use the optional E4/DATA port, which can be
used for either USB or Ethernet installation. Refer to section 5, “Hardware Installations,” for hardware
installation instructions.

UNCTION
DSL LINE
Modular 6-pin (RJ-11) DSL jack
Connects the Gateway to a telephone jack that has active
DSL service or to the DSL port of a POTS splitter.
E1/UPLINK
Modular 8-pin (RJ-45) Ethernet jack
Connects the Gateway to a PC or Hub via 10/100 BaseT
Ethernet.
E2/E3/E4
Modular 8-pin (RJ-45) Ethernet jack
Connects the Gateway to a PC or Hub via 10/100 BaseT
Ethernet.
E4/DATA
Modular 8-pin (RJ-45) Ethernet jack
Connects the Y-cable provided with the kit to the 10/100
Base-T Ethernet
DATA port on the rear of the Gateway
and to the Ethernet port on a PC or Hub. The USB connector
built
in to the Y-cable also functions through the
Gateway’s E4/DATA port. When the Ethernet connector is
plugged in to the Gateway’s DATA port, the USB cable can
then be plugged in to the USB port on a PC or Hub. Thus, the
Y-cable provides Internet connectivity via Ethernet or USB;
however, both connectors cannot be used sumultaneously. If
both connectors are installed in a PC or Hub at the same time,
only the connector that syncs up first will be used.
POWER
Barrel connector
Connects the 12 VDC power connector to an AC wall jack.

Installation Requirements
This section explains the hardware installation procedures for installing your Gateway.
To install the Gateway, you will need the following:
Active DSL line
Network Interface Card (NIC) installed in your PC, or
Available USB port installed in your PC, or
802.11 b/g wireless adapter installed in your PC
IMPORTANT:
Please wait until you have received notification from your Internet service provider (ISP) that your
DSL line has been activated before installing your Gateway.
4.5
Before You Begin
Make sure that your kit contains the following items:
Westell VersaLink Gateway
Power Supply
Y-cable comprising:
o
Built-in 10/100 BaseT Ethernet cable—labeled PC/Ethernet, yellow
o
Built-in USB cable—labeled PC/USB, blue
RJ-11 Phone cable
CD-ROM containing User Guide in PDF format
4.6
Microfilters
DSL 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 DSL 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.
