Bridging a Westell 2200 DSL Modem
If you have a special network setup and you would like to configure the Westell 2200 so it does not do Network Address Translation (NAT) or DHCP, please follow these instructions.
Some versions of the Westell 2200 require that the DSL phone line be plugged into the modem before you can proceed with making this change.
• Connect a computer directly to the modem.
• Reset the modem by holding the reset button (next to the ethernet port) until the DSL light starts flashing.
• Open a web browser and go to this address http://192.168.1.1.
Log in with the following:
• User ID: admin
• Password: password
• Click Configuration.
• Click the first edit button from the top VC configuration.
• Under VC 1 - Bridge Settings, set Mode from Routed Bridge to Bridge, then click 'set VC'.
• Click OK when prompted to Set this Bridge VC configuration.
• When asked if you would like the modem to be reset now, click OK.
The screen will indicate that the modem is reseting and will reload.
• Click Configuration, then click DHCP Configuration.
• Set DHCP Server to "Off".
• Click Save.
• Click OK when asked to save and reconfigure DHCP.
The 2200 should now act as if it were just a modem. You will need to reboot or release and renew your DHCP lease.
