2.0 PURPOSE
2.1 Subject:
Installation instructions for the Westell 7500 Wireless Gateway
2.2 Background:
The Westell 7500 became the standard wireless gateway for all CenturyLink technicians
around mid to late October 2010.
o The firmware for this device was changed. The new firmware is 5.02.00.04. The
model is A90-750022-07.
For Legacy CenturyTel, the Westell 7500 (version 14) wireless DSL gateway replaced the Westell
327W series DSL gateways for residential and business customers effective October 2009. Once
version 14 is depleted, the new version will be distributed.
The existing wireless adapter offered by CenturyLink can be used with this gateway.
2.3 Revisions:
Issue Section Paragraph
Revision Summary
6 All Updated to include standardization of this device for all CenturyLink
technicians. This device will now be used by all techs and replaces
the Zyxel 660HW for Legacy EQ. This device will also be used for
FTTP/FTTC-E and replace the Zyxel P330 router for Legacy EQ.
7 6.0 Removed material codes. All material codes are located on the HSI
Supply List.
8 10.0 Added additional note about the VPI/VCI auto-detecting the correct
configuration.
9 Added clarifying statements on the configurations.
10 10.1 Corrected the DHCP Server Pool size

Four Ethernet (RJ-45) connectors with optional UPLINK/E1 port and optional E4/DATA port.
There is no USB port on the 7500. However, customers can use a Wireless USB adapter. It plugs into
the PC and then the customer can connect wirelessly to the 7500.
NOTE:
When using the optional UPLINK/E1 jack (when VersaLink is configured for WAN Uplink mode), Ethernet LAN
connections are limited to ports E2, E3, and E4. The Uplink feature is optional. If Uplink is not enabled via the
Web pages, VersaLink will use DSL as the WAN interface.

8.0 INSTALLATION GUIDE
Action
Install Gateway
NOTE: The Westell 7500 is pre-configured to automatically auto detect the
connection parameters (DHCP, PPPoE , VPI, VCI).
With the launch of version 22, the gateway includes an automated installation process known
as Home Device Manager (HDM). HDM automatically configures the gateway, walks the
customer through creation of their CenturyLink username/password, installs CenturyLink
Help (for residential customers) and takes the customer to the CenturyLink portal.
Technicians must complete the Home Device Manager (HDM) set-up procedure during gateway
installation (or replacement). Refer to the Associated Documents section of this document for the Full
Installation Guide M&P.
1. Turn your computer on.
2. Start browser (Internet Explorer)
The gateway will automatically attempt to connect via DHCP or PPPoE. If successful
the HDM (Home Device Manager) flow will start. The auto detection will take
around 1-2 minutes.

There’s also a You Tube video available for customers on self installations that demonstrates
how to install the gateway. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvbWApqFIo0
A separate video is available for how to activate CenturyLink H.S.I. :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5y5ux70i4o4
Note: In the event a tech is on a trouble and HDM gets locked up, the tech can release HDM and by-
pass the installation flow. Refer to the H.S.I. Full Installation Guide M&P under Associated
Documents within this document for instructions on this.
9.0 USER INTERFACE
Westell gateways are configured via a web-based Graphical User Interface (GUI). To connect to the user
interface:
1. Open up a browser (Internet Explorer)
2. Type in 10.0.0.1 and hit Enter
3. If there isn’t a connection already configured, you will be launched to the Connection screen.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………
The following sections are provided as a reference in the event a technician needs to validate
the configuration.
10.0 DSL GATEWAY CONFIGURATION – PPPoE, DHCP, STATIC/MULTIPLE STATIC & BRIDGE MODE
10.1 DEFAULT SETTINGS
(Note: Although the default for the VPI/VCI is 8/35, the device will be able to auto-detect if it should be 8/35
or not. In the case of Madison River Properties, it will switch over to 0/35 after attempting the 8/35. This
will take about 1-2 minutes. )
WAN (ADSL):
Encapsulation: ENET Encap
Multiplexing: LLC
VPI: 8
VCI: 35
IP Address: Obtained automatically

10.2 Configuring to the 7500 gateway for a PPPoE customer
IF HDM recognizes that the account is PPPoE, the PPPoE Account ID and password will already be built in as a
generic connection by default.
If there is already an account in the device, they will see the information under the Broadband Connection screen.
If you need to modify the account information, click “Add/Edit Connection”.

10.4 STATIC IP CONFIGURATION
Single Static IP configuration
Note: The customer’s Subnet Mask and Gateway information can be located in the following places:
Legacy EQ can get this information from the D001 line of the service order.
For Legacy CenturyTel & Converted States:
o MARTENS does not have the ability to house gateway and subnet mask information.
The process is now for customer service agents to copy and paste this information in
the order remarks.
o If this information is not provided within remarks, save yourself a phone call into
assignment and look it up yourself via the Static IP Look-up Tool.
o Link to SIP Look-up tool (you might want to bookmark this site for future use):

Legacy Embarq & Converted states in Leg EQ areas follow the process below for DHCP
When the VCs display click "Edit"
on the first connection.
