Westell ProLine 6100 (G90-610030-06)

Westell Wind River DSL Router Modem

Introduction
Info from FlexNet - But the origonal page is long gone.

Don't mess around with the modem UNLESS, upon connecting
 * the Westell 6100 ADSL Modem to your phone line:

You have THREE SOLID GREEN LEDs LIT (See below) and Your connection doesn't come up and You DID NOT Get your WESTELL Modem from HiTel via a   Flexnet Order On Your Behalf!!

If this happens to you, then maybe, just MAYBE your adsl modem isn't in BRIDGE Mode.
 * If so, then these are the instructions to place it in BRIDGE mode.
 * But, don't do this unless you have to!

UPDATE 6 April 2007:

HiTel (Hawaiian Telecom) informs me that all Westell 6100s ordered
 * thru ISPs are in a "dummy modem" (bridge-bridge) state permanently.

Also, according to "Guy" you can NOT log into the HiTel purchased
 * Westell 6100 ADSL Modem via web browser.


 * In other words, none of the following instructions will work!!!

HiTel specs their modems from Westell to be dumbed down—the router functions
 * are disabled, the DHCP Server functions are disabled, no more management.
 * ..and I DO agree with this! Why create more of a hassle?

Well, you used to be able to login and look at the phone line
 * quality and stuffs like that, but who really cares, eh?
 * So the HiTel Westell 6100 is already in a bridged state.

ALL YOU CAN DO IS RESET THE MODEM, which you should if there is a problem.

To do this, leave everything powered up, and then depress the Reset Button
 * until the Power led turns AMBER, then let it go.

Presto. RESET. Dats all you can muck up. Thank God.

So you bought your Westell 6100 modem off Ebay?

 * Okay, these instructions are for you!

This HOW-TO is gathered (aka stolen) from various sources on the internet.
 * So I don't take 100% credit for it all. But what the hay..?

Now, a look at this puppy:




 * Power = When lit, this light indicates there's power to the router. It should be solid green.
 * DSL = When lit, this light indicates the modem is speaking to the central office (phone company).
 * When working, the light should be solid green.


 * Ethernet = When lit, this light indicates that the modem is communicating with your computer.
 * This will be on only if you're using the Ethernet cable to connect the modem to your computer.


 * USB = When lit, this light indicates that the modem is communicating with your computer.
 * This will be on only if you're using the USB cable to connect the modem to your computer.
 * We recommend using the Ethernet cable.


 * DSL Line = Plug the phone line into this socket.
 * Ethernet = What else? Plug your ethernet cable here directly from your computer!
