Westell 2100 FIREWALL CONFIGURATION
The Firewall capabilities built into the Westell 2100 DSL router are
enabled by default and set to "Medium" security. If certain programs (e.g. AOL,
ICQ, MSN Messenger, etc.) do not function properly after connecting to the
Internet, lower the security settings.
To lower the security settings of the firewall:
- Open the Westell interface by opening a web browser and typing 192.168.1.1 into the address bar. Click the Go button or hit the enter key.
- On the Configuration menu, select Firewall Configuration. Set the configuration to "Low" or, if necessary, disable the firewall. Click here for a screenshot of the firewall configuration page

Westell 2100 BRIDGE CONFIGURATION
The Westell 2100 DSL modem is able to handle your PPPoE connection, eliminating the need to use PPPoE software, such as WinPoET or MacPoET. However, if you need to configure the Westell 2100 as a bridge (e.g. NPTCO customers or customers using Native PPPoE or PPPoE Software), please refer to Westell 2100 Bridge Configuration

To eliminate the problem of line noise, telephone filters have been provided to you as part of your modem kit. Each filter should be connected between your telephone jack and any device using the phone line, such as fax machines, digital cable boxes, satellite receivers, and cordless phones. DO NOT PUT A FILTER BETWEEN THE WALL JACK AND THE DSL MODEM as this would filter out the DSL signal.
Additional Filters: If you are using a Westell modem, please visit www.westell.com to purchase filters online. If you are using a Paradyne modem, visit www.expedient.net and complete the "contact us" form. Please be sure to include the number of filters you require.

After you have finished installing your hardware, you will now need to add the following network settings to your computer. Select your operating system below:
Configure the Westell 2100
INITIAL setup:
 Bring up a Web browser and type http://dslrouter or
http://192.168.1.1 in the browser's address window. The Getting
Started screen will appear. Click Next and type in the account
parameters.
- Connection Name - Expedient
- Account ID - Expedient username in the format
username@dsl.stargate.net or username@expedient.net
- Account Password - Expedient password
Click Next for parameters to take affect or click Reset to
re-enter parameters.
 Enter the VPI and VCI with 0 and
35 respectively and click Next.
 Select PPPoE as the Protocol type and click
Next.
- The Set-Up Complete screen appears. Click Done.
- At the prompt to reset the modem so that the changes will take affect, click
OK. A screen appears that indicates the modem is resetting.
- To set the DSL to connect automatically, you will need to Edit the
configuration: Click the Profile Editor link, and click the Edit link for your
Expedient DSL connection. Select the Always On radio button, verify that the Save
Password option is checked, and click the Save button.
EXISTING setup:
- Bring up a Web browser and type http://dslrouter or
http://192.168.1.1.
 Select New Connection to establish a NEW
user profile
 Select Edit from the Connection
Overview screen to make changes to an EXISTING user profile.
Click here to see the
fields that are available when the Edit function is selected
Connecting and Disconnecting
Bring up a Web browser and type
http://dslrouter or http://192.168.1.1. The Westell HOME page will
appear. View the Connection Rate field. This screen shows the connection
rate (transmission speed of DSL line) with values that indicate a successful
SYNC has been established. The router may take time to report the values. If the
field reads No DSL Connection, check the DSL physical connection
(hardware installation).
Connecting
Click Connect. The PPP Status field
will display Connecting.... Once a PPP session is established, the status
will display UP.
Disconnecting
Click Disconnect on the Connection
Overview screen to terminate the connection. A pop-up screen will appear:
"Do you want to disconnect the PPP session?". Click OK. The PPP
Status field will display DOWN.
The client machine can be configured to obtain an address automatically since both the Linksys router and the Westell modem have DHCP enabled by default, but it is recommended that you configure TCP/IP manually.
- Connect to the Linksys interface through 192.168.1.1
- WAN IP: 192.168.0.10. This address must match the address specified
in LAN PC IP Address for the Westell 2100 configuration.
- Device IP: 192.168.1.1 (default).
- DHCP enabled. (default)
