After you configure the HG552a, each user PC connected to the HG552a can dynamically obtain an IP address according to the configuration of the upper-layer equipment or can be installed with PPP dialer software to access the Internet.

5.3.3 Creating a PPP Dialup Connection on the PC

When the gateway is working in bridge mode, you need to install the PPP dialer software on your PC so that your PC can dial-up to the Internet. If the operating system (OS) installed on the PC is Windows XP, the PC can also dial up to the Internet through the PPP dialer software provided by Windows XP. Take Windows XP as an example.

6.1 In
troduction
The HG552a supports voice services based on the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP).
The SIP is an application layer protocol used to create, modify, or end multimedia sessions. Based on text coding, the SIP references the Hyper Text Transport Protocol (HTTP) and the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), and can cooperate with othe protocols, such as the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP), the Real-time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP), the Session Description Protocol (SDP), and the Domain Name Server (DNS) protocol to implement voice services and the facsimile service.
The HG552a enables voice service interworking between the Internet and the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).

Ensure that the terminal and other devices such as telephones or fax machines are connected to the telephone line through a splitter.
For details about how to install a splitter, see the related description in the manual.
Ensure that telephone lines are properly connected.
If the telephone lines are improperly connected, the stability of the network connection is affected.
Check the positions of your terminal and computer. Ensure that they are far from the electric appliances such as microwave ovens, refrigerators, or cordless telephones that generate strong magnetic or electric fields.
If the problem persists, contact your service provider.

8.9 What can I do if noises exist during telephone calls?

Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Ensure that a splitter is installed.
A splitter helps to protect the call quality of the asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) from being affected due to the interference of other type of signals.
Ensure that telephone lines are properly connected. Especially ensure that the telephone line connecting to the splitter is properly connected.
Replace telephone lines and ensure that the telephone lines are not faulty.

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

No. The terminal uses the frequency division multiplexing (FDM) and splitter technologies to separate voice signals from data signals. Although the two types of signals are transmitted through one telephone line, they are carried by different frequency bands. Therefore, they do not interfere with each other. In this case, you can make a telephone call and access the Internet at the same time, without degrading call quality or lowering the Internet access rate.
