Using Auto-Redirection

With Westell’s WireSpeed Auto-Redirection feature, the modem detects and informs users of connection problem. If a problem is found, the modem displays a Web page on the browser that identifies the problem. The Help screen offers possible solutions. Auto-Redirection will detect the following conditions:

In each situation, the Web page displayed informs the user as to the nature of the problem and possible solutions. In cases where the user is trying to access a specific URL (example: http://www.Westell.com) outside the local network but has not established a PPP connection, the user will be automatically directed to the Home Page that indicates the session is idle.

When the user makes the connection, they will be instantly redirected to the URL that was initially requested.

Help Screens

Help screens are available to describe common problems and solutions. To access a help screen, click Help in the Westell Menu column at the left of the screen.
