After you power on the HG532, the ADSL indicator blinks (for less than three minutes), which indicates that the HG532 is being activated.
3 Setting the Network-Access Parameters By configuring the HG532 and your computer, you can choose any of the following methods to surf the Internet: z Accessing the Network Through the Embedded PPP Dial-Up Software on the HG532 z Accessing the Network Through the PPP Dial-Up Software on Your Computer 3.
3.2 Accessing the Network Through the PPP Dial-Up Software on Your Computer If you select this method for accessing the network, you need to install and configure the dial-up software on your computer. In addition, you need to perform dial-up operations on your computer upon each startup. To configure the HG532 and your computer for the network access, do as follows: Step 1 Set the working mode of the HG532 to Bridge.
4 Configuring Connection the Wireless Network If a wireless network adapter is installed on your computer, you can connect you computer to the HG532 through a wireless connection. To configure the wireless network connection, do as follows: Step 1 Log in to the Web-based configuration utility. Step 2 Set the wireless network name and access password of the HG532. To set the wireless network name and the access password, do as follows (taking the authentication type WPA-PSK as an example): 1.
5 Configuring the HG532 5.1 Changing the Administrator Password Used for Logging In to the Web-Based Configuration Utility For safety reasons or to make the password easy to remember, you can change the administrator password for login after logging in to the Web-based configuration utility. To change the password, do as follows: Step 1 Log in to the Web-based configuration utility. Step 2 Choose Maintenance > Account in the navigation tree to display the system management page.
In addition, you can enable or disable the wireless network function through the Web-based configuration utility. To enable or disable the wireless network function, do as follows: Step 1 Log in to the Web-based configuration utility. Step 2 In the navigation tree on the left, choose Basic > LAN. Step 3 Choose the WLAN page. Step 4 Select or not select Enable WLAN option button. Step 5 Click Submit. 5.
Step 5 Click Submit. To log in to the Web-based configuration utility after you change the IP address successfully, you need to launch the Internet Explorer, and then enter the new IP address in the address bar.
