7 FAQs

How can I quickly enable or disable the wireless network function?

Press and hold the WLANbutton for over one second, and then releasethe button to enable or disable the wireless network function. The WLANindicator 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 Resetbutton on the rearpanel for over six seconds after the HG533 is powered on, and thenrelease the button.

What can I do if I cannot access the Internet through the terminal?Step 1 Check whether the Powerindicator on the terminal is solid on.

If the Powerindicator 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 powerinput from the socket meets the requirements described on thelabel of the terminal power adapter. If the voltage is unsteady, for

example, if the voltage is too high or too low, do not use theterminal. Wait until the voltage restores to its normal level, andthen use the terminal.

3. Ensure that the terminal is properly connected to the socketthrough the power adapter.

If the Powerindicator is still off, contact an authorized maintenance center.

Step 2 After powering on the terminal, wait for about three minutes.

Then, check whether the ADSLindicator on the terminal is solidon.

If the ADSLindicator blinks for a long time, perform further checks asfollows:

1. Ensure that telephone lines are properly connected. Pay specialattention to the connections between the telephone lines and thesplitter.

2. Ensure that the terminal or telephone lines are far from theelectric appliances that generate strong magnetic or electric


36/44

31

fields. Replace telephone lines when necessary.

If the ADSLindicator still blinks and does not turn solid on, contact yournetwork operator.

Step 3 Check whether the LANindicator of the terminal is on.

If the LANindicator 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 thecomputer is properly connected. Remove and then insert thenetwork cable or replace the network cable when necessary.

If the LANindicator 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 chooseManage.

2. In the navigation tree of the Computer Management window,choose Device Manager.

3. In the right pane of the Computer Managementwindow, clickNetwork adapters to view the information about the networkadapter of the computer.

If no network adapter is found or if a question mark (?) or an exclamationmark (!) is displayed next to the icon of the network adapter, you can inferthat 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 userpassword that are required by the PPP dial-up software.

The user name and the user password are provided by your netwoperator.

Step 6 Check whether you can use the PPP dial-up software to dialsuccessfully.

If you cannot use the PPP dial-up software to dial successfully, perform

further checks as follows:


37/44

32

1. Stop the PPP dial-up software and then power off the terminal.After five minutes, power on the terminal, and then use the PPPdial-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 computerthat runs Windows XP as an example. To check whether theproxy server of the Web browser is correctly configured, do asfollows:

1. Launch the Internet Explorer.

2. Choose Tools> Internet Options.

3. In the Internet Optionsdialog box, click the Connectionstab.

4. In the Local Area Network (LAN) settingsgroup box, click LANSettings.

5. In the Proxy server group box of the Local Area Network(LAN) Settingsdialog box, ensure that the Use a proxy serverfor 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 terminalcan access these Web sites.

If the terminal still cannot access Web sites, contact your network serviceprovider.

What can I do if Web pages often cannot be displayed during Web pagebrowsing and can be displayed after the terminal is restarted?

Step 1 Ensure that the terminal and other devices, such as telephonesor fax machines, are connected to telephone lines through asplitter.

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 thenetwork connection is affected.

Step 3 Check the positions of your terminal and your computer. Ensure


38/44

33

that they are far from electric appliances, such as microwaveovens, refrigerators, or cordless telephones, that generate strongmagnetic or electric fields.

If the problem persists, contact your service provider.

What can I do if sometimes the terminal cannot access the Internetthrough a WLAN connection or if the WLAN connection is unsteady?

Step 1 Check the positions of your terminal and your computer. Ensurethat they are far from the electric appliances, such as microwaveovens, refrigerators, or cordless telephones, that generate strongmagnetic 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 throughtoo many obstacles, such as cement or wooden walls.

Step 3 Place your computer close to your terminal.

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 duringthunderstorms.

After a broadband terminal is installed, does Internet access degrade callquality or do telephone calls lower the Internet access rate?

No. The terminal uses the frequency division multiplexing (FDM) andsplitter technologies to separate voice signals from data signals. Althoughthe two types of signals are transmitted through one telephone line, theyare carried by different frequency bands. Therefore, they do not interfere

with each other. In this case, you can make a telephone call and accessthe Internet simultaneously, without degrading call quality or lowering theInternet access rate.
