4 Setting Network Access Parameters
By default, the HG630 works in DHCP mode. The HG630 starts to set up a dial-up connection automatically after you power it on. You do not need to install any dial-up software or perform any dial-up operations on your computer.
To set up a dial-up connection for Internet access:
Step 1 Open a browser. In the address box, enter http://192.168.1.1. Press Enter.
Step 2 Enter the login user name (user by default) and password (user by default). Click
Login.
To protect against unauthorized access, change the user name and password after the first login. For details, see chapter 6 “Maintenance Guide”.
Step 3 Click Setup Wizard to display the Wizard tab. And click Next.
Step 4 Click Next again. The HG630 works in DHCP mode by default. Your network service provider will assign IP address automatically. You do not need to configure any dial-up parameter on the HG630.
If you want to access Internet trough 3G wireless network, please connect a 3G USB modem to the HG630, and enter the APN and Dial number that are provided by your 3G service provider.
Step 5 In SSID and WPA pre-shared key, set a wireless network name and password, and click Next.
To obtain the default SSID and key, check the label on the rear panel. To better secure your WLAN, promptly change the SSID and key. For details, see chapter 6 “Maintenance Guide”.
Step 6 Confirm the information you set and then click Submit.
Then check the status of the Internet indicator. When the Internet indicator turns green, you can access the Internet.
The preceding operations need only be performed once. The next time you power on the computer, you can access the Internet without any other configurations.
5 Wireless Connection Setup
The wireless configuration software provided by Windows is used as an example to describe how to set up a wireless connection.
If the SSID and key have been changed, use the new ones.
