These configuration instructions will guide you through configuring your Westell modem to provide access for a single computer (transparent bridging), with the IP address assigned by SpiritOne on a device behind the modem. You must set up the Westell modem before entering any information sent by our DSL department into your computer.
- Follow the instructions provided
with your Westell modem to connect your Westell modem to your computer and DSL
line.
Your computer should be configured to obtain an IP address automatically from the Westell modem. If you are using a Macintosh, select Configure Using: DHCP Server. - Open a web browser and
enter 192.168.1.1 or http://dslrouter in the
Address Bar. You should receive a prompt to enter a username and password,
unless you have already changed them. Enter "admin" for the username and
"password" for the password.
- If you do not see the above screen, then
the Administrator password has already been changed. If you have already changed
the password then you should see the Westell modem homepage.
- Hold your mouse over the Configuration menu and select VC Configuration.
- Now you should see the VC
Configuration screen.
- Click on the Edit button
to the right of vci 35.
You should see a screen similar to what is below, click on the Protocol dropdown and select Bridge. You should see the same screen as you see below. Click the Set VC button.
- You should see the following box. Click
OK.
- That's it! Assign the static IP address provided by SpiritOne to whatever device is behind the Westell modem and you should have a live DSL connection.
