Chapter 1 Introduction
This chapter introduces functions and structure of the EchoLife
HG520s Home Gateway (hereinafter referred to as the HG520s).
1.1 Functions and Features
The HG520s is a type of Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line
(ADSL) terminal. Data, video and audio are transmitted through the
common telephone line at a higher rate by the HG520s.
The features of the HG520s are:
l High transmission rate: The maximum downstream rate is 24
Mbit/s; the maximum upstream rate is
1.2 Mbit/s.
l Strong network adaptability: The HG520s can be
interconnected with multiple Digital Subscriber Line Access
Multiplexer (DSLAMs).
l Strong maintainability: The HG520s provides multiple
indicator status, which is convenient to locate failures.
l Easy operation: The HG520s has a simple operation for the
configuration page.
1.2 Hardware Configuration
This section introduces the appearance and the structure of the
HG520s.

Note:
PPPoE = Point-to-Point over Ethernet
PPPoA = Point-to-Point over ATM
LAN = Local Area Network
WLAN = Wireless Local Area Network
& Note:
If the HG520s fails to activate, it tries again after an interval. The ADSL
LINK indicator is off during the interval, lasting for about 1 minute.

RESET
To restart the HG520s, press the RESET button and
release it within three seconds. To restore the default
settings of the HG520s, press the RESET button and
release it after three seconds. Once you use this
function, all your custom settings will be lost. Therefore,
please be careful when using it.
POWER Connect to the power adapter.
ON/OFF Power on/off the HG520s.
1.2.3 Splitter
The external splitter can efficiently reduce the signal disturbance
on the telephone line. When voice and data are transmitted through the
5
same telephone line at the same time, you need an external splitter to
separate the voice and data signals:
l LINE: Connecting to the phone jack on the wall.
l PHONE: Connecting to the telephone.
l MODEM: Connecting to the ADSL interface of the HG520s.

Chapter 2 Installation of the HG520s
This chapter introduces the installation when the HG520s is used
for the first time.
2.1 Preparation
Connect your computer with the HG520s through the Ethernet
interfaces. Before installing the HG520s, make sure that your computer
is equipped with the network card
