6. HARDWARE INSTALLATIONS
The following instructions explain how to install your VersaLink Gateway using 10/100 Base-T Ethernet, Wireless,
Ethernet Uplink, or USB connections. Before you begin, please read the following notes:
NOTE:
1. If your Ethernet card does not auto-negotiate, set it to half duplex. Refer to the Ethernet card manufacturer’s
instructions for installing and configuring your Ethernet card.
2. If you are using VersaLink in conjunction with an Ethernet Hub or Switch, refer to the manufacturer’s
instructions for proper installation and configuration.
3. When using a Microfilter, confirm that the DSL RJ-11 phone cable is connected to the DSL port of the DSL/HPN
non-filtered jack.
4. It is recommended that you use a surge suppressor to protect equipment attached to the power supply. Use only
the power supply provided with your kit.
5. Additional Ethernet cables may be required depending on the installation method you are using. Ethernet cables
and DSL filters can be purchased at your local computer hardware retailer.
6. VersaLink supports simultaneous use of 10/100 Base-T Ethernet and Wireless configurations. To use this
installation method, follow the instructions provided in sections 6.1.1 and 6.1.2. VersaLink does not support
simultaneous use of 10/100 Base-T Ethernet and USB connections.
VersaLink supports two modes for WAN access, which are configurable through VersaLink’s Web pages: (1) LAN
Ethernet port mode and (2) WAN Uplink port mode.
• LAN Ethernet port mode allows you to use VersaLink’s DSL port for WAN access (VersaLink’s DSL
functionality is Enabled). In this mode you should install VersaLink according to the instructions in the
following sections:
• Section 6.1.1, Connecting VersaLink via 10/100 Base-T Ethernet
• Section 6.1.2, Connecting VersaLink via Wireless
• Section 6.1.4, Connecting VersaLink via USB
• WAN Uplink port mode allows you to use VersaLink as an Ethernet Gateway (for example, to connect to
a cable modem or to another ADSL device that provides WAN access). In WAN Uplink port mode,
VersaLink’s DSL functionality is Disabled. In this mode you should install VersaLink according to the
instructions in section 6.1.3, “Connecting VersaLink via UPLINK/E1.”
