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.”
