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 1 Log in to the web-based configuration utility.
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.
This page is displayed only when the gateway is working in
factory setting mode.
You can also configure the user name and password by
choosing Basic > WAN. For details, see section 4.4
"Changing the PPP Account
."
After you complete the preceding settings, check the status of the Internet
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.
