User Guide
1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Westell® Media Gateway Communications Subsystem provides reliable, high-speed, Internet access to your
existing phone line. Installation is easy ... no tools ... no headaches. Simply connect the hardware, apply power, and
perform the simple software configuration for the Media Gateway and you are on the Internet.
The Media Gateway is capable of data rates hundreds of times faster than a traditional analog modem. But unlike
analog modems, the Media 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 Media Gateway supports a variety of networking interfaces such as wireless 802.11b/g and Ethernet.
Note: Hereafter, the Westell Media Gateway™ Communications Subsystem will be referred to as “Media Gateway,”
“Gateway,” or “Modem.”
2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations.
Never touch non-insulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the
