12. WIRELESS 
If you click on Wireless at the main menu, the following page will be displayed. This page enables you to set up the 
wireless network settings of your modem. To configure the wireless settings for VersaLink, click on the 
Configuration button at the right of the page. 
IMPORTANT: If you are connecting to the modem via a wireless network adapter, the service set ID (SSID) must 
be the same for both the Westell modem and your PC’s wireless network adapter. The default Network Name 
(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. (The SSID displayed in the following page is WEST0719; however, your SSID 
might differ from the SSID displayed in this page.) To communicate with the modem, the PC’s wireless network 
adapter must be configured with the SSID and pre-defined WEP Key 1 before you begin the modem’s Customer 
Information setup and configuration procedures. Locate and run the utility software provided with your PC’s 
Wireless network adapter and enter the SSID value. Later, for privacy, you should change the Network Name 
(SSID)
 value in the Wireless page to your desired value.
