1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Westell® VersaLink™ Gateway provides reliable, high-speed, Internet access to your existing small office
phone line. Your ADSL connection is “always-on” ending the hassles of dial-up modems and busy signals.
Installation is easy ... no tools ... no headaches. Simply connect the hardware, apply power, and perform the simple
software configuration for VersaLink and you are on the Internet.
VersaLink™ is capable of data rates hundreds of times faster than a traditional analog modem. But unlike analog
modems, VersaLink™ 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. VersaLink™
supports a variety of networking interfaces such as wireless 802.11b/g/g+, ADSL, Ethernet and the following
optional features:
•
VersaPort™: Alternate WAN uplink port
•
Layer w/2 QOS with VLAN tagging
•
HotSpot
•
Simultaneous public/private network support
Hereafter, the Westell® VersaLink™ Gateway will be referred to as “VersaLink” or “Gateway.” There are two
versions of the VersaLink: one with a USB port and one without a USB port. Features may vary depending on the
model. Refer to section
