ADSL WEBSHARE PROXY ROUTER USER GUIDE
1. Product Description
Westell’s WebShare Proxy Router uses an existing phone line to provide multiple users with a
reliable, high-speed, Internet access for home or office. The WebShare Proxy Router
converts an existing phone line into a dedicated, high-speed connection ending the
inconvenience of dial-up modems and busy signals.
The WebShare Proxy Router provides downstream data rates of 8 Mbps and upstream rates
of 800 kbps, 140 times faster than a 56K analog modem. Unlike traditional analog modems,
with Westell’s WebShare Proxy Router the same phone line can be used for voice/fax
communications and high-speed Internet access simultaneously, eliminating the need for
separate voice and data lines.
Westell’s WebShare Proxy Router enables multiple users to simultaneously share a single high-speed ADSL
Internet connection. WebShare is the perfect solution for a low cost multi-user residential or small business
network.
The WebShare Proxy Router uses the widely popular Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) data
protocol to connect to your Internet service provider (ISP). LAN network setup is a breeze through the use of
Network Address Translation (NAT) and Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP). With NAT, your Westell
WireSpeed Ethernet WebShare Proxy Router is viewed by the Internet as a single IP address. This hides the IP
addresses of the PCs on the LAN from the Internet providing a simple form of network security. With DHCP,
WebShare will automatically assign an IP address to each PC on the network, thereby removing the chore of
local IP address management.

ADSL signals must be blocked from reaching each telephone, answering machine, fax machine, conventional
computer mode or any similar conventional devices. Failure to do so may degrade telephone voice quality and
ADSL performance. There are two ways to block the ADSL signal from telephone equipment:
Method 1. Microfilters – Install a microfilter at each telephone jack being used for a phone, answering
machine, fax machine or other telephone device. Microfilter installation is simple and requires no tools
or telephone rewiring. Just unplug the telephone device from the baseboard or wall mount and snap in a
microfilter, then snap in the telephone device. Contact Westell to obtain a microfilter kit (Westell part
number A90-36FK201) which contains multiple microfilters for your installation.
Method 2: POTS Splitter – Install a POTS splitter (Westell model 32RTPSGNA1) at the telephone
service entry point. Installation of a POTS splitter may require telephone rewiring, therefore, POTS
splitter installation is typically performed by your service provider. If you choose to use a POTS splitter,
contact your telephone company or service provider for installation.
1.1 Inspection
Upon receipt, thoroughly inspect the unit for damage. If the unit has been damaged during transit, report the
damage immediately to the Transportation Company and Westell Customer Support. The transportation carrier
assumes responsibility for safe delivery of goods. Refer to Section 10 for further information.
1.2 Package Contents

2. Safety
Follow these safety precautions before installing any electronic equipment:
1. Never install any telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
2. Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations.
3. Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected
at the network interface.
4. Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
5. When installed, this equipment is to be used behind devices that provide primary lightning protection.

Account parameters are required before connecting to your service provider. The account parameters to be
entered in the Account Install window are obtained from your service provider. User ID and Account Description
are the only required parameters. DNS Primary and DNS Secondary are optional parameters that your service
provider may require in some cases.
The Account Description is a word or phrase created by the user to describes the account. It is used by the
WebShare Proxy Router to coordinate with the service provider. For example, the following parameters were
obtained from a service provider:
User ID: Snape@inet
DNS Primary: 204.48.31.10 (optional)
DNS Secondary: 204.48.31.11 (optional)
With the following user-defined input:
Account Description: Account 2
Procedure:
1. Open your Internet browser. In the address bar (location bar), type 192.168.0.1 and press ENTER.
The WebShare Home page containing PPP Status and PPP Connections windows will appear.

8.1.4.3 IP Address
The Internet Protocol (IP) address is a unique 32-bit number used to identify the host computer connected to a
TCP/IP network. The value of the IP Address is represented in a dotted decimal format. WebShare assigns
192.168.0.1 to this address by default. This value may be changed to any valid IP address e.g. an existing
address assigned for local LAN administration. Note: If the default IP Address needs to be changed, the DHCP
Base and End addresses will also have to be adjusted. All changes will be entered in the LAN Advanced
Configuration screen.
8.1.4.4 Subnet Mask
The subnet mask is a 32-bit number used to identify the network and host segments of an IP address. This
value is represented in the same dotted decimal format as the IP address. This is the subnet mask associated
with the IP address above. This value should not be set to a subnet address greater than 255.255.255.248 to
accommodate the WebShare IP.
The default value for the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
8.1.4.5 Domain Naming System (DNS) Primary
The domain naming system is a convention used for identifying computers attached to the Internet or a Local
Area Network (LAN). A host to resolve a domain name to the IP address uses the main DNS server. The
secondary or backup DNS server performs the same function as the main server.
This IP address represents the address that WebShare uses to respond to primary DNS queries from your
computer. The default value is 192.168.0.2.

This IP address represents the address that WebShare uses to respond to secondary DNS queries from your
computer.
The default value is 192.168.0.3.
8.1.4.7 Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
DHCP is a protocol used to automate the administration of IP addresses within a local area network. A server
provides the IP allocation for computer hosts that are running a DHCP client. This controls the state of the local
WebShare DHCP Server.
The default value is enabled.
8.1.4.8 DHCP Base Address
This is the first address in the block of IP addresses between the ‘base’ and ‘end’ addresses allocated by the
DHCP server.
The default value is 192.168.0.10.
8.1.4.9 DHCP End Address
This is the last address in the block of IP addresses between the ‘base’ and ‘end’ addresses that the DHCP
server allocates.
The default value is 192.168.0.73.
8.1.4.10 Inactivity Timer Timeout
WebShare provides an Inactivity Timer that closes an active PPP session if there has been no traffic through the
WebShare Proxy Router either from or to any user. The timeout value may be adjusted within the LAN
Advanced Configuration window shown in Figure 31 (page 29). For a session to be “always on”, select the
Inactivity Timer Disable option.
The Inactivity Timeout Value determines the length of time a session will remain connected with no data flow
from either direction. The default setting is disabled. To enable, select LAN Advanced from the Management
menu. In the LAN Advanced Configuration window, select the Enable option and enter an Inactivity Timeout time
in minutes. The valid range is from 0 to 9999 minutes. A zero will have the same affect as disabling the timer.
Click the Save button in the dialog box to commit the new account information to the WebShare Proxy Router.
8.1.4.11 Static NAT
Static NAT allows you to designate a LAN shared PC as a server (e.g. for a web page). Enter the IP address of
the designated PC in the Static NAT IP location of the LAN Advanced Configuration Window and click
Enable.
