configure certain advanced network functions, use the web-based configuration

utility.

2.2 Configuring a Dial-up Connection to Access the

Internet

The HG532e works in PPP mode by default. The HG532e starts to set up a

dial-up connection automatically after starting up, meaning you do not need to

install dial-up software or perform dial-up operations on your computer.

To set up a dial-up connection to access the Internet:

Step 2 On the Quick Configure Home Gateway: PPP Account page, enter

the user name and password provided by your service provider for

dial-up connections in Username and Password, and click Next.

indicator light. When the Internet indicator light turns steady green, you can

start browsing the Internet.

You need to perform the preceding operations on a computer once only. The

next time you power on your computer, you can browse the Internet without

performing the same configurations.

2.3 Configuring a Wireless Network Name and

Password

After you complete the preceding settings in PPP mode, you will see a

configuration wizard page used to configure a wireless account. The

configuration wizard page is displayed when you have not modified

any wireless parameters.

The default SSID and WLAN Key printed on the HG532e's rear

panel are unique and secure. If you do not want to change them,

click Next.

For security reasons or to make the password easy to remember, you can

change the wireless network name and password on the wizard page as

follows:

Step 1 Log in to the web-based configuration utility.

Step 2 On the Quick Configure Home Gateway: Wireless Network page is

displayed. Set WLAN SSID and Key, and click Next.

After you set WLAN SSID and Key, the home page of the web-based

configuration utility is displayed. A navigation menu is displayed on the left. You

can click a link to display the relevant page on the right.

3 Setting Up a Wireless Connection

If a wireless network adapter is available on your computer, you can connect

your computer to the HG532e over a wireless connection.

The method for installing the wireless adapter and its driver varies

according to different vendors. For details, see the installation guide

provided by the vendor of your wireless adapter.

The wireless network function is enabled on the HG532e before delivery. To

check the function status, see section 4.2 "Enabling or Disabling the Wireless

Network Function."

There are two methods for setting up a wireless connection between the

HG532e and your computer.

The preceding configuration needs to be performed only once.

You can also configure the WLAN SSID and key by choosing

Basic > WLAN. For details, see section 4.3 "Changing the
