Westell Technologies 36R515 manual Appendix, Windows 95/98/Millenium, Windows NT

Appendix

IMPORTANT: Before you can connect the Westell ADSL modem to your computer, your computer must have an Ethernet card. The Ethernet card must be:

•Installed and available

•Either a 10Base-T (10 Megabits per second) card, or configured to 10 Megabits per second.

Follow the instructions below for your operating system to find out if an Ethernet card is installed, available, and set to the correct speed.

Windows 95/98/Millenium

1Click Start, then Settings, then Control Panel. The Control Panel opens.

2Double-click the Network icon. (Tip: Icons in the Control Panel often display in alphabetical order). The Network window opens.

3Click the Configuration tab.

4In the large box on this window, look for the name of your Ethernet card. This name might contain words such as Ethernet adapter, Etherlink, or LAN adapter. Check your Ethernet card manufacturer’s documentation if you need to find the exact name of the card.

5If an Ethernet card is listed, it is installed. Go on to the next step. If not, you need to install one according to the Ethernet card manufacturer’s instructions.

6Your Ethernet card is available if it is not being used for another device. One way to check is to find the Ethernet jack on your computer and find out if it is empty. The jack looks the same as the jack marked ETHERNET on the back of the Westell modem.

7If your card is a 10Base-T card (10 Megabits per second), or if it is set to 10 Megabits per second, you can install the Westell ADSL modem. (See the instructions under “Installation” in this guide.) If you are not sure, consult the documentation from your Ethernet card’s manufacturer.

Windows NT

1Click Start, then Settings, then Control Panel. The Control Panel opens.

2Double-click the Network icon. (Tip: Icons in the Control Panel often display in alphabetical order.) The Network window opens. If you see an error message, your Ethernet card or its driver is not installed. Follow your Ethernet card manufacturer’s instructions for installation and configuration to 10 Megabits per second.

3Click the Adapters tab.

4In the Network Adapters list, look for the name of your Ethernet card. This name might contain words such as Ethernet adapter, Etherlink, or LAN adapter. Check the documentation from your Ethernet card manufacturer if you need to find the exact name of the card.

5If an Ethernet card is listed, it is installed, go on to the next step. If not, you need to install one according to the Ethernet card manufacturer’s instructions.
