UltraLine II (Model 800015) 
NOTE: You may connect to any of the four Ethernet jacks on the rear panel of the UltraLine II because they 
serve as an Ethernet switch. 
4.  Connect the power supply cord to the power connector marked 12 VDC on the rear panel of the UltraLine II. 
Plug the other end of the power supply into a wall socket, and then turn on the power switch (if it is not already 
turned on). 
5.  Check to see if the UltraLine’s POWER LED is solid green. This indicates that the UltraLine II is powered on. 
6.  Check to see if the UltraLine’s WAN  LED is solid green. Solid green indicates that the WAN connection is 
functioning properly. (The UltraLine’s LAN and WAN traffic will be uplinked to the attached ADSL device.) 
NOTE: You may need to set the UltraLine II to uplink mode. Refer to section 15.9 “WAN Configuration,” for 
instructions. 
7.  Check to see if the UltraLine’s ETHERNET LED is solid green. Solid green indicates that the Ethernet 
connection is functioning properly. 
8.  Check to see if the UltraLine’s INTERNET LED is solid green. Solid green indicates that the Internet link has 
been established. 
 
Congratulations! You have completed the WAN installation for your Modem. Next, you must now proceed to section 8, 
“Accessing the UltraLine II,” for instructions on  configuring the Modem for Internet connection. 
  
 
6.3.2  Connecting PCs via Wireless 
 
IMPORTANT:
 If you are connecting to the Modem via a wireless network adapter, the SSID must be the same for 
both the Modem and your PC’s wireless network adapter. The default SSID for the Modem is the serial number of 
the unit (located below the bar code on the bottom of the unit and also on the Westell shipping carton). Locate and 
run the utility software provided with your PC’s Wireless network adapter and enter the SSID value. The PC’s 
wireless network adapter must be configured with the SSID (in order to communicate with the Modem) before you 
begin the account setup and configuration procedures. Later, for privacy you can change the SSID by following the 
procedures outlined in section 15.10 (Wireless Configuration). 
 
Client PCs can use any Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) 802.11b/g/g+ certified card to communicate with the Modem. The 
Wireless card and Modem must use the same security code type. If you use WPA-PSK or WEP wireless security, 
you must configure your computer’s wireless adapter for the security code that you use.
 You can access the 
settings in the advanced properties of your wireless network adapter.
 
 
 
To network the Modem to additional computers in your home or office using a wireless installation, you will need to 
confirm the following: 
 
1. 
Ensure that an 802.11b/g wireless network adapter has been installed in each PC on your wireless network. 
2. 
Install the appropriate drivers for your Wireless IEEE802.11b or IEEE802.11g adapter. 
3. 
Make sure the SMA antenna connector is loose. Orient the antenna in the proper configuration. Then, tighten the 
antenna knob to lock it into place. 
9.  Connect the yellow Ethernet cable (provided with your kit) from the Ethernet jack marked WAN on the rear 
panel of the UltraLine II to the Ethernet port on the attached ADSL device, and then power up the attached 
ADSL device.
