Confirming Your Internet Connection
If you clicked the
Save
button in the
Edit
or
New Connection
window, the following screen will appear.
Click the
Connect
button, and wait a brief moment while the modem connects to the Internet. The
Status
field will
display UP once an Internet connection has been established.
NOTE:
If your modem’s connection setting is set to Always On or On Demand, after a brief delay, the Internet
connection will be established automatically; however, if the connection setting is set to Manual, you must click the
Connect
button in the
Connection
screen to establish an Internet connection.
Additional ways to confirm your Internet connection are:
•
In the
Broadband Connection
panel of the
Home
page, view the
Internet
field. If the status reads
Not
Connected
, you do not have a DSL link. However, if the
Internet
field displays
Connected
and the
Speed
(Down/Up)
field displays numeric values, a DSL link has been established. The values displayed represent
the transmission rates of your DSL signal (downstream and upstream). You may need to wait a brief
moment for the modem to report these values.
•
At the top of the modem, check to see if the
DSL
LED is solid green. Solid green indicates that the
modem’s DSL connection has been established. (The
DSL
LED may flash while the connection is being
established.) Please wait a brief moment for the modem to connect.

If you do not have a DSL sync, first check your physical connections. (Refer to section 5, “Hardware Installations,”
if needed.) If the problem persists, contact your ISP for further instructions.

Go!
browse the Internet. For example, to
visit Westell’s home page, type

Disconnecting from an Internet Session
If you have finished browsing the Internet and want to disconnect from your ISP, click the
Add/Edit Connection
link from the
Broadband Connection
panel. The following
Home > Connection Overview
screen will appear.
Click
disconnect
and then
OK
.
IMPORTANT:
If you disconnect the PPP session, this will disconnect the modem from the Internet, and Internet
access for all users connected to the modem will be down until the PPP session is re-established.
If you clicked the
disconnect
button in the
Home > Connection Overview
screen, after a brief moment,
PPP
Status
should display DOWN. This means that you no longer have a PPP session. However, your DSL session will
not be affected. When you are ready to end your DSL session, simply unplug the modem from its power source.
When you are ready to establish a PPP session again, click the
connect
button in the
Home > Connection
Overview
screen. If you have previously unplugged the modem, first plug in the modem, and then log on to your
account profile to establish a PPP session.

Changing the Administration Password
It is recommended that you change the administration password of your modem after completing initial installation
and setup. You can accomplish this through the
Change Password
screen (
Security > Change Password
). This
screen allows you to change the default administration name and password to values of your choice.
IMPORTANT:
1. The
Security > Change Password
screen allows you to
use
admin
as your
administrator name
(your
administrator name can match your user name). However, you may not use
password
as your
administrator
password
. The values in these fields are case sensitive. Once you decide on an administrator name and password,
please record them for future reference.
2. This feature changes the Administrator’s password, not the PPP password.
Type your
Administration Name
and your
Administration
Password
in the fields provided, and then click
change
and
OK.
The password fields will be masked for security purposes.
Type a new password.
(Do not type the word
password
here.)
Type
admin
or
the name of
your choice.
If you clicked
OK
after clicking
change
, the following screen will appear.
Type in your new
User name
and
Password
in the fields provided, and then click
OK
.
