This chapter introduces functions and structure of the EchoLife HG520s Home Gateway (hereinafter referred to as the HG520s).
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:
zHigh transmission rate: The maximum downstream rate is 24 Mbit/s; the maximum upstream rate is
1.2 Mbit/s.
zStrong network adaptability: The HG520s can be interconnected with multiple Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAMs).
zStrong maintainability: The HG520s provides multiple indicator status, which is convenient to locate failures.
zEasy operation: The HG520s has a simple operation for the configuration page.
This section introduces the appearance and the structure of the HG520s.

To connect the telephone jack or a splitter through a telephone line.
The external splitter can efficiently reduce the signal disturbance on the telephone line. When voice and data are transmitted through the
4
same telephone line at the same time, you need an external splitter to separate the voice and data signals:
zLINE: Connecting to the phone jack on the wall.
zPHONE: Connecting to the telephone.
zMODEM: Connecting to the ADSL interface of the HG520s.

This chapter introduces the installation when the HG520s is used for the first time.
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
Figure 2-1 shows the connection of the HG520s.
