Step 4 Enter a new IP address as desired in the IP address text box. Then, enter a subnet mask in Subnet mask. 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. Ensure that the IP address of the computer is in the same network segment as that of the HG532c so that the computer can access the Web-based configuration utility. 5.6 Restoring Default Settings After you restore the default settings, your customized data is lost. Therefore, use this function with caution. You can quickly restore the default settings of the HG532c by pressing the Reset button on the rear panel. To restore the default settings, press and hold the Reset button for over six seconds after the HG532c is powered on, and then release the button. In addition, you can restore the default settings of the HG532c through the Web-based configuration utility. To restore the default settings through the Web-based configuration utility, do as follows: Step 1 Log in to the Web-based configuration utility. 17
Step 2 In the navigation tree on the left, choose Maintenance > Device. Step 3 Choose the Reset page. Step 4 Click the Restore Default Settings button. After the preceding operations, the current page jumps to the login page. You can log in to the Web-based configuration utility by entering the default user name and password that are admin. 6 FAQs How can I quickly enable or disable the wireless network function? Press and hold the WLAN button for over one second, and then release the button to enable or disable the wireless network function. The WLAN indicator shows whether the wireless network function is enabled. How can I quickly restore the default settings of the terminal? To restore the default settings, press and hold the Reset button on the rear panel for over six seconds after the HG532c is powered on, and then release the button. What can I do if I cannot access the Internet through the terminal? Step 1 Check whether the Power indicator on the terminal is solid on. If the Power indicator is off, perform further checks as follows: 1. Ensure that the terminal is turned on. 2. Ensure that electricity comes from the socket and that the power input from the socket meets the requirements described on the label of the terminal power adapter. If the voltage is unsteady, for example, if the voltage is too high or too low, do not use the terminal. Wait until the voltage restores to its normal level, and then use the terminal. 3. Ensure that the terminal is properly connected to the socket through the power adapter. If the Power indicator is still off, contact an authorized maintenance center. Step 2 After powering on the terminal, wait for about three minutes. Then, check whether the ADSL indicator on the terminal is solid on. If the ADSL indicator blinks for a long time, perform further checks as follows: 1. Ensure that telephone lines are properly connected. Pay special attention to the connections between the telephone lines and the splitter. 2. Ensure that the terminal or telephone lines are far from the electric 18
appliances that generate strong magnetic or electric fields. Replace telephone lines when necessary. If the ADSL indicator still blinks and does not turn solid on, contact your network operator. Step 3 Check whether the LAN indicator of the terminal is on. If the LAN indicator is off, perform further checks as follows: 1. Ensure that the network adapter of the computer is enabled. 2. Ensure that the network cable between the terminal and the computer is properly connected. Remove and then insert the network cable or replace the network cable when necessary. If the LAN indicator is still off, contact an authorized maintenance center.Step 4 Check whether the driver for the network adapter is properly installed. Take a computer that runs Windows XP as an example. To check whether the driver for the network adapter is installed, do as follows: 1. On the desktop, right-click My Computer, and then choose Manage.2. In the navigation tree of the Computer Management window, choose Device Manager. 3. In the right pane of the Computer Management window, click Network adapters to view the information about the network adapter of the computer. If no network adapter is found or if a question mark (?) or an exclamation mark (!) is displayed next to the icon of the network adapter, you can infer that the driver for the network adapter is not properly installed. In this case, re-install the driver for the network adapter of the computer. Step 5 Ensure that you have entered the correct user name and user password that are required by the PPP dial-up software. The user name and the user password are provided by your network operator. Step 6 Check whether you can use the PPP dial-up software to dial successfully.If you cannot use the PPP dial-up software to dial successfully, perform further checks as follows: 1. Stop the PPP dial-up software and then power off the terminal. After five minutes, power on the terminal, and then use the PPP dial-up software to dial again. 2. Restore the default settings of the terminal. If the problem persists, contact your network operator. Step 7 Check whether the proxy server of the Web browser is correctly configured. Take the Internet Explorer installed on a computer that runs Windows XP as an example. To check whether the proxy server of the 19
Web browser is correctly configured, do as follows: 1. Launch the Internet Explorer. 2. Choose Tools > Internet Options. 3. In the Internet Options dialog box, click the Connections tab. 4. In the Local Area Network (LAN) settings group box, click LAN Settings. 5. In the Proxy server group box of the Local Area Network (LAN) Settings dialog box, ensure that the Use a proxy server for your LAN (These settings will not apply to dial-up or VPN connections). check box is cleared. Step 8 Try to access multiple Web sites to check whether the terminal can access these Web sites. If the terminal still cannot access Web sites, contact your network service provider.What can I do if Web pages often cannot be displayed during Web page browsing and can be displayed after the terminal is restarted? Step 1 Ensure that the terminal and other devices, such as telephones or fax machines, are connected to telephone lines through a splitter. For details about how to install a splitter, see the related description in the manual. Step 2 Ensure that telephone lines are properly connected. If the telephone lines are improperly connected, the stability of the network connection is affected. Step 3 Check the positions of your terminal and your computer. Ensure that they are far from electric appliances, such as microwave ovens, refrigerators, or cordless telephones, that generate strong magnetic or electric fields. If the problem persists, contact your service provider. What can I do if sometimes the terminal cannot access the Internet through a WLAN connection or if the WLAN connection is unsteady? Step 1 Check the positions of your terminal and your computer. Ensure that they are far from the electric appliances, such as microwave ovens, refrigerators, or cordless telephones, that generate strong magnetic or electric fields. Step 2 Place your terminal in an open area. Although radio signals can pass through obstacles, the transmission effects of WLAN radio signals are affected if radio signals pass through too many obstacles, such as cement or wooden walls. Step 3 Place your computer close to your terminal. 20
If your computer is far from your terminal, the effects of the WLAN are affected. Step 4 Place your terminal and computer in another direction. Step 5 Do not use your terminal to access the WLAN during thunderstorms. After a broadband terminal is installed, does Internet access degrade call quality or do telephone calls lower the Internet access rate? No. The terminal uses the frequency division multiplexing (FDM) and splitter technologies to separate voice signals from data signals. Although the two types of signals are transmitted through one telephone line, they are carried by different frequency bands. Therefore, they do not interfere with each other. In this case, you can make a telephone call and access the Internet simultaneously, without degrading call quality or lowering the Internet access rate. 7 Appendix 7.1 Indicators Indicator Status Description On The HG532c is powered on.
