Re: Centurytel DSL and Westell A90-210015-04 modem
Hi, I lost your email reply to mine before I read it as my computer went belly up and i had to reload windows me. But I have been successful in getting my westell modem to connect to CenTel. If you have your email still please send it to me again.

Unfortunately, I don't have it as my Westell came pre-configured by CT. Others tho' have posted about it on this forum, maybe make a new thread requesting it?

Thanks...do you know where I can get ahold of that utility? Westell's site is horrible...hardly any downloads or support info...(just like Centurytel). |

Yeah, if you're not connecting through a router, you'll need the PPPoE client running on your PC.
The difficulty you're experiencing in detecting the signal may be improved by configuration of the modem. IIRC Westell has a PC client you can install to communicate with the modem. For reference, when I reboot our modem (typically 2-3x / week to clear errors) I notice a 15-20 second synch time, where the ready light goes from slow to fast to steady.

Yeah, I had talked to them, not a local person, but... I ended up resolving the issue myself...I installed RASPPPoE, and it worked like a charm. Although the modem takes forever to detect the signal if it is unplugged... |

I don't have any specific help on the Westell, but a suggestion: have you contacted CT with your question? If you can get a hold of a local field tech thru the customer service number, they're usually pretty helpful.

| Is this modem usable with Centurytel DSL service? I just bought it off Ebay, and am not sure if I can get it to work... If it is usable, how do I configure it for use with Centurytel, ie, what are the vpi/vci settings, etc. (when I hook the modem up, i get the flashing green light, it speeds up, then slows down again) |
